All Fighters Make Weight for Sengoku 7 - Yoshida Lean'N'Mean?!

Sengoku 7 is tomorrow, (tonight/early tomorrow morning over here), and the weigh-ins are in

going from Main Event down, everybody made weight.  And according to the source Yoshida has apparently lost as much as 15 - 20 KG's  (33 - 44 lbs) to make LHW.  OMG Yoshida may actually be in shape. 

To have a little fun with the recent trend...   (Roids?)

This is really an excellent card and I know I'll find SOME way to watch it.

 

Also according to Nightmare of battle

The reason the "2008 Beijing medalist" that was rumored to be competing at this show is not competing, is there will be a major wrestling event coming up early this year that he, or SHE, (there were a couple dominant female japanese wrestlers at the last Olympics), will take part in then come to compete in Sengoku.  Assuming it is a male and Sengoku isn't adding a womens division, this makes the likely candidates Tomohiro Matsunaga or Kenichi Yumoto who would be a possible FW competitor.

Yoshida vs Rulon Gardner

Still one of my favorite fights. Definitely interested to see how Gomi and Pee Wee do.
