Confirmed: Takanori Gomi vs. Pang Sung Hwan at Sengoku 4

I previously wrote that Gomi could be facing Hwan and according to Japan-MMA.com, it's true:

Lightweight (non-GP)
Takanori Gomi 28-3-0 vs. 5-1-0 Hwang Sung Pang

Lightweight GP
Satoru Kitaoka 20-8-9 vs. 16-2-0 Clay French
Eiji Mitsuoka 13-5-2 vs. 8-1-0 Rodrigo Damm
Kazunori Yokota 6-1-3 vs. 6-1-0 Bojan Kosednar
Mizuto Hirota 9-2-0 vs. 20-9-1 Ryan Schultz



The Kitoaka vs. French fight should be relatively competitive and if you'll notice, (former?) IFL lightweight champ Ryan "The Lion" Schultz will be competing in the lightweight tourney. It'll be interesting to see how his wrestling translates in the ring against Japanese opponents. Let's not forget that Frank Trigg will be taking on Makoto Takimoto at this event as well.

It's not DREAM, but it's absolutely worth a look.

Dear Mark Cuban,

IFL is gone, and you’d probably like to fill the void they leave in your HDNet Fights series on your network. Please add World Victory Road’s Sengoku fighting promotion to your network’s line up.

Sincerely,
[your name]

What happened to “Bang” Ludwig?

He teaches MT at my school, but I haven’t seen him lately. I thought he had signed for the GP?
