Mousasi’s replacement? as it’s a TBS show I’m calling Sapp, but hoping I’m dead wrong
Shibata. Seriously, for the love of god, someone book this.
Joachim Hansen vs. Shin’ya Aoki will be great…as long as Aoki does’t try out his ‘new and improved’ muay thai skills. It will be a VERY short night for Shin’ya if that happens…
Choi Hong-Man just hasn’t looked the same since his surgery. He should be able to win this silly tournament easily if he were even at 50% (now that Mousasi is out).
My prediction: Sapp never wins a fight ever again. Anywhere. Ever.
BRING BACK CANSECO!
He’s only going to get better and better.
Watching Sokoudjou get gassed is always a treat
What is Ricardo Morais up to these days?
Ricardo Morais… There is a name I haven’t heard for years.
I hope they bring in someone interesting anyway.
Lets see how Warren looks after his last big win.
Aoki’s fights can be fun to watch mostly because it’s always about 5 seconds from being over. Either from him getting a submission or wing KO’d. I think Hansen wins the rematch… He just matches up well to Aoki….
Giant Silva?
To replace Mousasi, it’s gotta be someone considered top 10 or 20. I suggest Kazuyuki Fujita whose conflict with Sengoku allegedly rendered him a free agent.
Feather weight semi finals are kick ass. Can anyone submit or KO Warren?? I don’t see it happening at this event.
I read that the replacement will prob be a fighter that has already been eliminated….Hunt,Sapp,Nortje or YES!!!
Hopefully it’s Schilt or Hunt. I’d prefer Schilt so it steps up an eventual return match with Fedor – provided Schilt won the entire thing.
Anybody know what’s up with Ishii?
Ishii will fight on the November Sengoku show against an opponent yet to be named.
They should put Aleksander in it. Instead of having it be a tournament, let him KO them one by one.
looks like it’s Bob Sapp who will replace gegard
TBA sounded better than Sapp.
