Jumped on Sandro. Don't see him getting KO'd or submitted by Omigawa and Sandro should get top postion

Tempted on Fujita. Ivanov is a unknown even though he has the sambo win over Fedor but is a tough first fight for anyone

HATSU HIOKI TO WIN FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE $1.67 (-149) *4 Joe Rogans:scared :scared :scared :scared

Kazuyuki Fujita beat Blagoi Ivanov $1.91 (-110) *2 Joe Rogans


Hioki will win both fights, this guy is a fucking god on the ground, a god. He could fight Faber and Brown back-to-back and I'd take Hioki in both fights, yep he's that good. I know I have been saying for years how good this guy is, I think Ghost Kid is only one that has ever listened to me:mj07:

Agree with ukgaz, taking Fujita at those odds is a "weinerdog square special" baby:142smilie All kidding aside, I do think those odds are mighty good on Fujita, Ivanov first ever MMA fight won't go well for him


Fear this man.......Fear him:

 

[Ghost Kid]

Wow
that's a great line for Hatsu to win it all
HIOKI !!!!!!!!!
kick, I heard about this kid from you first
and I have been astonished by the two performances I have seen
dude is LEGIT

HIOKI !!!!!!!!!

 

[kickserv]

Yep...super legit, I am sure I get laughed at when I put him #6 in my pound-for pound list, but maybe after he wins this tourney more people will realize just how good he is. Another reason why I like this guy is that he wants to fight Faber and Brown. He just got back to Japan two weeks ago, he was in Boston training with Florian. When he was there he was dead serious about joining the WEC and fighting those guys. Most Japanese dudes are scared shit-less of the octagon (name Aoki comes to mind) in North America, not him:SIB


And for what it's worth Florian said Hatsu was amazing on the ground. Great training partner for Florian to get ready for Penn wouldn't ya say.


Sadly I think Hatsu will only get mad respect once he beats Faber and Brown, I hope that happens. And yes I'll say it again, Hatsu is top 10 pound-for- pound in the world, 100% yes he is


(now watch him lose in 4 seconds):mj07:

 

[kickserv]

Did I mention Hioki is good....yeah think I did:SIB

[gardenweasel]

kick...i thought you had to beat some real competition to be considered pfp?....a draw with bao quach?...



/:wall:

 

[kickserv]

GW banned 22 minutes for taking shot at kickserv and my boy Hioki


Also......What the hell is with Sandro holding a belt while posing for a belt....:s7:

 

[Ghost Kid]

What's up with Sandro and that belt? He has it in every photo he takes....

edit:
kick you beat me to it!
:mj07:

He's real proud of that silver belt for some reason
:shrug:

 

[kickserv]

Sandro breaks one of my rules:

1. Never bet on a guy who walks to ring/cage with sunglasses

2. Never bet against a guy that has more then 3 kids

3. Never bet on a guy who walks into ring/cage with a belt (unless it is the organizations belt).

 

[kickserv]

Not sure if I will stay up and watch or not, but I can't seem to find out when this event starts, have conflicting times. I think around 3:15 am EST will be first bout but can not confirm that. Maybe some Japanese madjackers can help
