It's kind of fallen apart. Kid is out, Genki out and now Carlos Newton. Bummer.
LOL at Clay Spicer! Way to play the "I'm a real fan" card, big guy.
That card is balls.
Holy shit! Hadn't seen that full card until now!! Tons of excellent Jiu-Jitsu fighters!!!!! I love it.
And guys, watch Ivan Menjivar and you'll become an instant fan. He's gonna take it all.
That card is stacked. I'm looking forward to this one.
All things aside how do people think that Crosley will do vs Manhoef when they weren't giving Newton any chance? Is Crosley bigger than Newton...I would imagine that their takedowns are equal.
LOL @ the backpacker MMA fans.
This card sucks balls.
weak card IMO
no offence to anyone but the card sucks IMO
Crosley will beat Manhoef.
As would Rodrigo, and Akiyama
"When is it?"
August 5.
who do you think wins when they grapple in the gym?
Crosley or Rodrigo?
Not an amazing card but still a level above 2nd tier shows
Wait a sec Crosley and Rodrigo might fight each other ?
Manhoef by KO, the guy is a beast.
thank god they have Sak on the card, or this one would have been a ratings tank for TBS. Losing Yamamoto was a huge blow to Hero's because he has quickly become the most popular MMA fighter in Japan.
I like this card. would have been killer if Bj and Carlos were fighting though.
Crosley took the fight on 2 days notice.
good luck to Crosley.
and this is a good card
LOL at those of you that are basing at the event. This set of teh show alone should give everyone chills.
HERO'S 2006 Middleweight Tournament Quarterfinal 70 KG, 2R/1EXT 5M Kultar Gill (Revolution Fight Team) vs. Kaoru Uno (Wajyutsu Keisyukai Tokyo Headquarters)
HERO'S 2006 Middleweight Tournament Quarterfinal 70 KG, 2R/1EXT 5M Ivan Menjivar (Tristar Gym) vs. Hideo Tokoro (Reversal Gym)
HERO'S 2006 Middleweight Tournament Quarterfinal 70 KG, 2R/1EXT 5M Gesias Calvancanti (American Top Team) vs. Hiroyuki Takaya (Team HARDCORE)
HERO'S 2006 Middleweight Tournament Quarterfinal 70 KG, 2R/1EXT 5M Rani Yahira (Atiada Jr. Jiu-Jitsu) vs. Kazuya Yasuhiuro (Seido Kaikan
Here is why:
Gill vs. Uno "Perhaps the best striker in Canada vs. one of the most exiting and known fighters from Japan"
Manjivar vs. Tokoro " Ivan is IMO the best light weight fighter from Canada/Salvador, this guy gave Shaolin all he could handle when Shaolin was on top of the game vs. one of the best MMA grapplers in the game.
JZ vs. Takaya "I do not want to comment much on this fight, but just watch my boy JZ tear it up! Takaya is no cupcake, but man I'm so biased that is not fair for me to open my yap here."
Rani vs. Yasuhiuro "Rani is one of the best grapplers in the world period it will very interesting to see how he is going to handle the pressure of this MMA tournament. With only 2 fights not by submissions. Yasuhiuro is the one that I find is overrated for this tournament with the caliber of fighters in it. However you never know he might come in and pull a flying knee type of performance for the KO."
and Sakuraba in k-1 with Rodrigo Gracie being a possible opponent down the line?!?!?!?!?!?! Come on people cut them some slack!!!
LOL @ best striker in Canadia. And yes, the card sucks.
You know you guys are right this card has only on fighter that has fought in the UFC and Rodrigo Gracie who must be washed up and one unknown Gracie. It must suck ass. Fuck it I do not care if it happens or not.
***note sarcasm***
That is all!
If you have no Lunesta, order this event.
