This is a great card that speaks to the superb matchmaking in Sengoku; they do a great job of working with what they’ve got, and building up their own stars. Misaki vs. Santiago has the potential to be one of the best MW fights in a while.

That’s the fight I’m most looking forward to; it should be the main event. Well that and the Golyaev – Mitsuoka fight to determine the unofficial Pride champion. Maybe the winner of that fight can challenge KJ Noons to determine who is the undisputed unofficial Pride champion.

I’m really stoked about Misaki vs Santiago. The winner will really have to be considered one of the world’s top middleweights. I’d love to see either of them fight Cung Le or Frank Shamrock in Strikeforce.

Yeah, Misaki is one of the most enjoyable fighters to watch. So skilled and unique.

His fights (trigg aside)

can be tremendously entertaining because he has that tendency to get floored but not be hurt. See vs Akiyama and vs Riggs

Gimme 1 Round!

Talk about a non-sequitur.

Dave Herman will continue his streak of not training but still beating the crap out of world class fighters.

I’m pretty sure continuing a streak of beating up world class fighters has to be put on pause if you’re fighting Mr. Saturday Night Fever.

I didn’t even know this was happening until recently – was there any coverage of it, or did Dynamite!! obscure it?

Its gotten the usual amount of heat from Japanese blogs, though Dynamite certainly did overshadow it to a degree. English blogs have never really been too keen on it though; most fans couldn’t tell you much about their headliners like Kitaoka and Misaki, let alone the mid-card guys like Mitsuoka. Sengoku isn’t as sexy as DREAM or as easy to access as UFC; its just good, solid MMA.

I wish I had known about it – I like Misaki, and him vs Santiago is a great match-up.

Search around for a stream

Getting a stream for Sengoku can be alot more difficult than pretty much any other event but its often worth it. I would recommend looking into an MMA fighter that was arrested on gangrape charges earlier this year and from there maybe delve into his unique fighting style. If that don’t help you I don’t know what will lol.

Gimme 1 Round!
