Woho! Go Sweden! Never thought anyone from here would represent in Bushido.
That being said Ishida is a BEAST and David has practically NO chance *cries*
This event is going to be sweeeeeeeeet.
Kang v Filho in the final. Kang could take it…
Solid, solid card….
and, btw, gooo Sweden!
Actually I’m most curious about how Sik will do against Busta…, Rampage couldn’t finish him, so he should be able to show his strenght, but on the other side I’ve always liked Busta’s skills, excellent technical striker with deadly groundgame, can’t wait.
Also I’d like to see if Kikuta can give a decent showing, good at submissions, but not a crowd pleaser…, could be a snorefest, but I hope for a submission…, I think I remember Sakikibara (sp? maybe Zach-ikibara?) showing distain about his fight with Takimoto, which was a horribly boring fight…, I’m surprised he’s brought back considering the bushido 2 round yellowcard format
The rest of the card is just awesome without mesure…, I want to see Gilbert do well, excellent fighter, and also I’m pulling for Kang, just hope the Shelbygirl incident doesn’t hurt his game
Misaki is very slippery guy. Hips always moving and very good with angles, he’ll test Filho’s chin.
Great card overall imo.
I dont know about that..I have watched David trainning at BTT…he is very good, very strong…..
Will the finals of the WW GP be on the same night, or on NYE?
Finals will be the same night
[...] So, Bushido is this Sunday at Yokohama Arena. Good card line-up. Likely a (very) small crowd. Same story for a rather unheralded S-Cup (Shootboxing) event in Tokyo at Ryogoku Kokugikan this Friday featuring Andy Souwer and other K-1 veteran names. [...]
