Sengoku 7 Open Discussion Thread

I just wanted to open up an article so that we can have some discussion as the Sengoku show takes place. I'll be doing my best to stay up and watch the entire show...but I am already feeling a little bit tired so we'll see how long I last. So rather than live blog the show myself lets all just throw our thoughts in the comment section here and we should get a little bit of dialogue going.
Please don't flood the comment section with questions of where to watch the show. I personally will not broadcast where I'm watching the show due to site liability issues. If I direct you to a streaming source you will likely then have a streaming source for UFC/Affliction..etc PPV's and I personally believe in paying for shows that you have legal means of watching. Streaming a show like this that you otherwise can not see I have no problem with. But still, this is a thread for the discussion of the show...not for begging for stream sources. Using basic google searches should provide you with plenty of options.

King Mo by KO in 2mins. Gomi by boredom in Rd2. Antonio Silva by amputation Rd1.

I think Silva/Nakao is closer than most people are giving it credit for.

Considering Jap events usually start at like 5AM here, this actually feels early. I just grabbed Dynamite the day after, but I’m sticking around for this one. Sengoku shows usually have a very good pace, no huge intermissions or pointless stuff like the K-1 Koshien tournament.

I’ll be here, although its merely 6pm so it’s hardly an achievement.

Does anyone else like Sergey Golyaev at +195?
by KneesnBows on Jan 4, 2009 12:57 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
He has a puncher’s chance, but I think his ground game is shit. For some reason Gomi never exploited it; near the end of the fight, he just kind of stepped right into mount like it was nothing.
by smoogy on Jan 4, 2009 1:47 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I’m in. And I don’t think Golyaev is worth anything less than +250-260.
by Beer Monster on Jan 4, 2009 1:02 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
You know..
I wasn’t aware that was no legal source of transmission for this program, so people being dicks and calling others beggars is entirely ridiculous. Someone could have said as much in another thread instead of humiliating people.

Good work on outing yourself as a beggar. It’s not he mentioned any names.
by Beer Monster on Jan 4, 2009 1:21 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Huzzah!
I’d made mention in another thread, repeatedly. I don’t get HDnet or some of the other satellite feeds, but training partners and friends do. A simple allusion to the fact that it isn’t being aired on said waves would have sufficed.
It’s not he mentioned any names
Good work on putting yourself out as a scholar.

There is...
They’re called tickets; one for the plane, one for the show.
IMO, people just act like there’s no other way because of the ridiculous amount work it would take to see this show legally, and they don’t want to feel like a thief.

That's fun..
You’re taking his explanation as my own. I have no desire to steal this program.
I’ll keep your reply in mind in future conversations.
by Blackout612 on Jan 4, 2009 1:49 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
How can you steal that which is unavailable to buy though? Sengoku is losing absolutely nothing in potential sales.
by smoogy on Jan 4, 2009 1:51 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
But it is...
Just nobody in there right mind would travel to japan just to buy it.
I’m not saying people streaming it are doing something wrong, I have no problem with it; I actually stream all the MMA PPV’s I can’t afford.. But people are saying there’s no way to get it legally, and that’s just not true.
by EnsignFrog on Jan 4, 2009 2:19 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Also...
I wouldn’t call it “stealing” either.

Dude...
chill. I know this is a bit late but you still need to hear it. This is a pretty popular blog with a big readership…if we are trying to say something to a single person directly we will e-mail you. This is not the first time we have ran a stream dependent results thread and the previous times have involved a lot of people begging for links to sites for streams. I was trying to avoid that.
Again, everything that is written on this site is not directed at you individually.

Anyone else read the sherdog article on Kitaoka?
"He looks strong, but I think I hate him; I don’t know why," Kitaoka said. "After this fight, I don’t think I’ll ever talk to him ever again, no matter the result."
"I told Aoki, from here on out, I’ll make it so that you won’t ever hear anything about Gomi anymore," Kitaoka said.
Damn…it’s serious.

If you’re on the stream that I think you’re on, I believe they usually time it so that the end of the replay corresponds with the start of the broadcast. But sometimes they are off so maybe it’ll just kick in soon.

From Sherdog:
Lawal asks the crowd to chant "King Mo" with him. Lawal puts the mic up to referee Kimura as well, and gets two very un-enthusiastic chants from him. Kimura fights to not crack a smile.
The extra clinical description only makes it funnier.

They both fought knowing it was UFC rules. It’s as relevant as the outcome in international gymnastics rules.

Misaki does that to everyone he fights though. I’d still put Santiago’s striking well ahead of most other top 10 middleweights.

Kitaoka is a more jacked Aoki...
But this is a bad style matchup. Gomi doesn’t have to worry about his hands at all so he can focus on wrestling and counterpunching. Bad setup for Kitaoka. But maybe he can pull off a miracle or suck Gomi into trying to GnP.
Gimme 1 Round!

mousasi is the best mw outside ufc
kitaoka is doing his best retard impression….i think he’s a good fighter but he acts like such a douche…..

Kitaoka is scary as hell. And not really in a cool way, either.

would it be wrong of me to sat that Kitoaka looks….. slow? And I don’t mean physically
by Discman2 on Jan 4, 2009 5:43 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
What? Like Jett slow?
Yes…I went there folks.

He looks a little confused by everything.
Did you know we are in high demand, Laura?

It’s on purpose. He thinks it makes him look “crazy”. I think it makes him look “retarded”. There’s a big difference.

gomi looks thin
dunno if it means he hasn’t trained
by rainmaker6 on Jan 4, 2009 5:48 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Honest to God. Kitaoka looks like he spent his childhood eating nothing but glue.

Gomi shouldn't have thrown him
Same thing Alvarez did
Gimme 1 Round!

Naw…Kitaoka’s leg locks are fucking deadly…
by Tonley on Jan 4, 2009 5:53 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Better at them than Aoki
So if he was gonna win that would be the way
Gimme 1 Round!

That was abrupt.

Remember when BJ Penn vs. Gomi 2 was a big fight?
by Michael Rome on Jan 4, 2009 5:53 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
heel hock, achilles lock, kneebar, I couldn’t really tell. Best guess would be a heel hook
by Sokonojudo on Jan 4, 2009 5:54 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Gomi
is limping pretty good. wonder if he did any serious damage
by Nick Travaglini on Jan 4, 2009 5:55 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Now Gomi will go to the UFC
and dominate everybody but BJ and prove that the UFC LW class is inferior
Gimme 1 Round!

And ok night, some great fights and some really anused ones.
by Pandanus on Jan 4, 2009 5:57 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
kitaoka is good
Give him credit – he acts like a total douche but he is a good fighter. Gomi nubbed out by going to ground.
Gomi is still relevant but he’s no longer top 5 – maybe not even top 10. Lets see him string some wins together.
by rainmaker6 on Jan 4, 2009 5:58 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Kitaoka is on roids
He can’t possibly be built like that naturally
Gimme 1 Round!

alright. bedtime
gentlemen, its been a pleasure. Enjoy your sunday. I am gonna go grab 4 hours of sleep.
by Nick Travaglini on Jan 4, 2009 5:58 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
roids or not he would have won that fight
Gomi’s ground game is below average and Kitaoka’s is near Aoki level

Will WAMMA pair them for undisputed WAMMA status? :)
