Mizuto Hirota vs. Satoru Kitaoka – Finals

Masanori Kanehara vs. Michihiro Omigawa

Antonio “Big Foot” Silva talks with the Brazilian news magazine, Tatame (loosely translated with Google):

“I have two more fights in Sengoku, and winning this, we still have no opponent, I must fight for the belt in December. They will create the belt and I will fight for the title”

“I wish you were Josh Barnett, as he will not fight more in the United States…. He has a contract with Sengoku and is trained”

Former EliteXC heavyweight champion and accused roider, Antionio Silva wants to face Josh “Affliction Undertaker” Barnett in Sengoku’s heavyweight tournament set to start in September. The winner’s of the first round of the tournament would likely face off in December for the Sengoku heavyweight title.

Not much to be said. Hot Asian girls getting ready to hold up cards, hand out trophies after bouts and look good doing it. Thank You Sengoku, you get that Ring Girling is a team sport.
