Just please do not make Sakuraba v Fedor. Thats all I ask.
I thought Fedor said he was most likely going to not participate and just face the winner for the HW title? After all, he does need the hand surgery…
-Fedor should take most of the year off and instead fight the winner of the tournament.
-DSE has tried to kill Sakuraba these past few years, and I’d wouldn’t be surprised if he joins the tournament and is paired up with Big Nog or Hunt.
-Please don’t let them put Coleman or Donkey Kong in the mix. Waist of good space.
Dos Caras! Please!
