Are you guys worried about Sapp and Minowa being a ''work'' ?
Hunt looks spent just like Sefo in K-1 , I don't think he lands a bomb on Mousasi plus I've heard Gegard has been training with Fedor a bit lately and Fedor already defeated Hunt .
Sokou has to win this , Nortje is a can , IMO true line should be around - 400 in a MMA fight .
Watch this one http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1fkpo_gary-goodridge-vs-jan-nortje_sport

This will look the same , minus 1:30-2:20 min :mj07: :00hour

On sherdog radio, they were talking a bit about this possibility
Minowa comes from pro wrestling, and there is a chance this is a work for Sapp
I actually think Minowa's last fight was a work - very fishy stuff if you watch it
just something to keep in mind - I am staying away from this one
I don't want to lose on some pre-determined BS

Jose Canseco Has Arrived in Japan
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/5/23/884412/jose-canseco-has-arrived-in-japan

?I don?t even know whether my punches can reach Choi?s head or not. While having a tight defense and using my footwork well to move around, I will take him down and end it on the ground with a submission.?

He also said that he has trained his punches, kicks, etc. at 3, 4 gyms near his house and has focused especially on stamina because of the 10 minute first round.

I guess oddsmakers are not as sold him as I can;t find a single book with odds on it.
Which tells me reality is he is probably around a 20-1+ underdog but nobody is willing to post them with the unknown Canseco.

exactly...soukou/mousasi are absolute parlay material....hunt could screw us,though...i`m not quite as high on mousasi as some on this board...i see him as being similar to some of the pride guys that moved to the ufc....beating riff raff doesn`t make you a star,imo...

and minowa should be a live dog....i think i`m a live dog vs sapp....myself and thongy together could beat sapp like a red headed stepchild...

Maybe he is looking for an appearance fee.
Has anyone told Jose he still has to fight?:mj07: :mj07:

Minowa should be in good shape weight wise weighing in at 196lbs(heavier than usual) to fight Sapp(319lbs).
I don't think this is a "work" for Sapp. It better not be because I have WAY to much tied into Minowa for him to roll over.

And how in the world is Canseco supposed to win.
I would love to see an O/U on minutes this fight lasts? No way does it get into the 2 minute mark.

Gonna go with one last LONGSHOT PARLAY:
Minowa
Mayhem Miller
Kawajiri
30 wins 615

Bob Sapp is the most intimidating guy to look at.
Too bad he is such a puss and his biggest fear is getting hurt.
He curls up into a ball the second you make decent contact with him.
Remember when Cro Cop kicked him in the stomach(no that hard) then a so-so punch to the face and he went to the ground crying. That was funny.

Thanks for the pics.

I'm on Mousasi!

If he doesnt try to trade with Hunt he should be fine.

It was reported after the fight that CroCop broke his eye socket with the punch in the face.

Let it be noted that Sean Sherk would not try one take down in the "super hulk" tourney.
