From Joey Oddessa:

Early 2 way action on Aoki/Hansen. Fernandes getting early play over Warren & Tokoro getting early $ in opp bracket.

Over the past couple days, both Tatsuya Kawajiri and Kazuyuki Miyata spoke about their weight cuts in pre-fight interviews. Kawajiri said that he's now dropping almost 30 pounds to make lightweight, and that the final 7-8 pounds are especially rough.

Meanwhile, as of Sunday, Miyata still had 9 1/2 pounds to shed for his featherweight GP reserve match; the wrestler said he'd cut it on Monday morning with no problem, and sure enough he did. Here's the result, which I feel like I should tag as NSFW.

I cant believe Hansen came in at only 150lbs for his first championship defense.

Also, was Bob Sapp down to about 320lbs for his June bout with Bobby Lashley? I remember articles detailing this… and one from CagePotato still berating him for it, even though it was the lightest he had been in years:

Hansen/Aoki Rubber Match!!!

Holy crap, Hellboy hasn’t fought in over a year. I remember one fight was canceled because of some nebulous head injury, but that shouldn’t have been his only opportunity, right?

That's what I was thinking....

There’s no way that mysterious head injury that had him pulled out of the JZ match has kept him out this whole time.

Just set my pvr!!!

Cant wait!! Hansen/Aoki 3 should be great. Also really interested to see Fernandes/Warren!! Lets see how far Warren can go in this thing. After taking out kid yamamoto in his last match I expect him to be full of confidence and ready to win the featherweight gp. He has really impressed me in the first 2 matches with his heart and , the unbeleivable pace he pushes.

Miyata is ripped to hell at 145, looks like he killed himself to make 138. Which by the way is a retarded ass weight for FW. DREAM is so dumb

I wouldnt mind them being off by a few pounds so they can round to an even Kilo amount but i dont see why they couldnt have tried to keep it consistant with the American weight classes when Dream started recently.
