Yamaguchi

is arguably the coolest person on the face of the earth.

Can someone explain how they determine the number of rounds? Boku and Megumi are the biggest names on that card so 2 rounds seems odd.

Don Quixote pulling support would supposedly kill Pancrase, but what about Sustain?

Shooto has enough tentacles and operates on a small enough scale that I think they’ll continue on no matter what.

Megumi/Windy is a two-rounder because they’re girls and Shooto is lame like that.
Boku/Sakaguchi, I’m not sure. Could have something to do with Yukio being a late replacement?

I see Boku and Megumi finishing their work early anyway, shouldn’t go to decision.

Is there anyone left for Megumi in Japan or has she just been treading water? Strikeforce really need to have her on, but I know they won’t make a flyweight division for some Japanese chick, oh well. What’s the heaviest she’s fought at?

Yuka Tsuji is left for her in Japan.

Great as usual.

Wish these were televised on showtime.

No way Showtime shows this. Almost all Japanese competitor’s and it’s best fighters are real small, impossible to market to a mass American audience. HDnet could bring in more MMA dorks at 5 am I guess, though I’m not sure Shooto is even broadcast in HD.

Maybe G4? Their audience likes MMA and Japan surely.
