New DREAM 12 promo video released.

World Victory Road (WVR) – Olympic Judo Gold medalists Satoshi Ishii and Hidehiko Yoshida will face off at Sengok’s New Years event, according to Nightmare of Battle. The announcement was made by WVR, at a press conference in Tokyo to announce the event.

No official date for the event has been set.

“I think this is a good chance to teach (him) about the degree of difficulty of MMA, I want to teach him that. [Yoshida]”

Also the name Sengoku is expected to be changed later this year to something that is more globally neutral, like FEG’s “DREAM”.

“Not Sokoudjou”

DREAM announced [Super Heavyweight] Bob Sapp will replace the injured Gegard Mousasi a take on Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou [Light Heavyweight] in the “Super Hulk Tournament” at DREAM.11.

Even Sapp knows how this fight will go,

“If Sokoudjou wins… I’ll probably be fighting a celebrity (at Dynamite), [MMA Weekly]”

Gegard Mousasi was forced to withdraw from his DREAM 11 “Super Hulk Semi-Final” fight with Rameau Thierry Sokodjou due to injury, according to MMAWeekly. Sources in the report indicate that Mousasi injured his shoulder during his exhibition grappling match with Fedor Emelianenko at M-1 “Breakthrough”.

Gegard Mousasi on Paulo Filho,

“What happened when [Filho] came to America, he wasn’t…he got beat up really bad. Now he’s back in Japan and he feels like a kid in a candy story, I think. He can use all kinds of steroids. And I think the steroids have gone to his head.”

“[Filho] didn’t perform the same as he does in Japan as he does, how you say, in America. And now he suddenly has a big mouth again. I would say that he’s a little donkey that, he’s on steroids, he thinks he’s a running horse. But, he’s more like a little poney….I really believe that he used steroids. He also backed out a couple of times when he had to fight Chael Sonnen. He said he was crazy. Maybe he is crazy. I don’t know. I think he wasn’t feeling very good mentally because he cannot use his magic stuff … You saw what happened when other fighters came from Japan, when they fought in the US, and how they performed.”

“I also fight in Japan and I don’t use anything … If there’s an athletic commission test, he can fight me everywhere, everywhere he wants.”

Gegard Mousasi calling it like it is when asked about Brazilian middleweight Paulo Filho in a recent interview with Fighters. Filho’s “rumored” steroid use took stage when the unbeatable fighter who fought mostly in Japan, came to fight in the United States. He had two lackluster fights with Chael Sonnen in the WEC before disappearing to Brazil to be treated for Depression {Rehab}.

He has now emerged back in Japan, (where the steroid testing is almost non existent) calling out the best middleweight fighters in the world.
