by Nick Thomas on Dec 21, 2009 10:25 PM EST in MMA News

[UPDATED] by Chris Nelson at 11:24 PM ET

At a presser in Tokyo, FEG have just now announced the addition of two rumored lightweight bouts to the card...

- Shinya Aoki (22-4 / DREAM LW Champion) vs. Mizuto Hirota (12-3-1 / Sengoku LW Champion)
- Tatsuya Kawajiri (25-5-2) vs. Kazunori Yokota (11-2-3)

Also, Five Ounces is reporting that a middleweight scrap between Melvin Manhoef (23-6-1) and Kazuo Misaki (22-9-2) is on, meaning Kazushi Sakuraba likely won't participate.

Ishii time

Anyone know anything about how he has been progressing as a fighter in his camp?

Giving Shogun his props. I had the fight 48-47 Machida but Shogun put up a monumental performance and I am honored to have seen it in person.

He’s been sitting around watching Jersey Shore with the “NYBA”, he’s going to come out fist pumping.

YAY!

The other fights should be announced soon. I am hearing Manhoef vs Misaki perhaps?

I’m excited for Sakurai vs Gono and of course pulling for a Minowaman upset

by IRodC on Dec 21, 2009 10:06 PM EST reply actions

If Nishijima/Sefo is K1 rules, then I don’t think Nishijima has a record. His 0-5 mark is in MMA.

by gzl5000 on Dec 21, 2009 10:08 PM EST reply actions

Peter Aerts leg kicked him to death earlier this year

I think that’s about it for his kickboxing endeavors though

by capital L on Dec 21, 2009 10:31 PM EST up reply actions

And of course neither of us mentioned the fact that Sefo has a much more extensive kickboxing/K-1 record

by capital L on Dec 21, 2009 10:36 PM EST up reply actions

Soku and Minowaman isn't enough of a freakshow to end the Superhulk tourney.

Otherwise a solid card. Nothing special, especially for the NYE event, but should produce some good scraps.

Are the mma fights dream rules or Sengoku?

by Phildo on Dec 21, 2009 10:10 PM EST reply actions

I believe 3 × 5 min rounds.

The press conference to announce the rest of the card is coming up in the next couple of hours, isn’t it?

134-8-1!!!!!!!!

Keep firing Assholes!

Fedor has accomplished nothing until he fights Kimbo.

And 27 years old.

He has to have fought Travis Fulton at some point.

Fingers crossed for...

Shinya Aoki vs. Mizuto Hirota and Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Kazunori Yokota!

by CSKit on Dec 21, 2009 10:42 PM EST reply actions

It worked. They just announced those two fights

The audio is terrible, but I just heard Sasahara say Kawajiri vs. Yokota.

Aoki didn’t feel like bringing his belt?

by CSKit on Dec 21, 2009 11:32 PM EST reply actions

Hirotas belt is just too awesome looking

by IRodC on Dec 21, 2009 11:34 PM EST up reply actions

No Manhoef? :(> (Sad jardine)

by IRodC on Dec 21, 2009 11:42 PM EST reply actions

Wow, so Aoki cut Hirota off in the middle of an answer and (from what a Japanese-speaking friend tells me) basically told him “shut the fuck up.”

by Chris Nelson on Dec 21, 2009 11:44 PM EST reply actions

Sorry, Yokota, not Hirota.

by Chris Nelson on Dec 21, 2009 11:59 PM EST up reply actions

LOL

No wonder people don’t like Aoki. He is a feisty one.

by MMASuPreMaCy on Dec 22, 2009 12:04 AM EST up reply actions

Is it always like this?

Or Aoki really doesn’t want to be there

by IRodC on Dec 21, 2009 11:47 PM EST reply actions

Aoki is like the Japanese Forrest Griffin

Most of the time he plays himself up as this character, but occasionally he lets his guard down and just comes off as a total prick. It doesn’t help that he is in an expiring contract situation… his incentive to talk shit has never been higher.

by smoogy2 on Dec 21, 2009 11:53 PM EST up reply actions

Looking forward to starting the new decade watching this. Socializing on New Years be damned

by Gerrymanderer on Dec 22, 2009 12:08 AM EST reply actions

Aoki/Hirota is a cool fight, and makes a lot of sense since they’re the champions of their respective organizations. Really looking forward to that one.

Agreed...

I wish it would have been Bibiano/Kanehara instead of KID/Kanehara, makes more sense and Kanehara wouldn’t look as bad if he lost to a Champ.

by CSKit on Dec 22, 2009 12:46 AM EST up reply actions

That’s true. I would have preferred that as well.

Mousasi

What happened to the Mousasi fight under K1 rules? There was talk of him fighting Ewerton Teixeira.

by HarmlessNinja on Dec 22, 2009 3:28 AM EST reply actions

Actually, I heard Manhoef wasn’t participating at all.

seems like a pretty nice card but I personally feel they need to add for exclamation points to the end of dynamite

by brazary on Dec 22, 2009 8:29 AM EST reply actions

dissapointed

My first live Dynamite card and the matches could not be less interesting…

by Dark Tower on Dec 22, 2009 12:02 PM EST reply actions

Gotta say, I don't understand the blasé attitude toward this card.

Omigawa-Takaya
Sandro-Tokoro
Sakurai-Gono
Soko-Minowa
Ishii-Yoshida

All pretty ill matchups. A couple of those could headline a PPV. Not to mention Masato’s retirement fight against a guy who’s beaten him twice.

I guess everyone’s really bummed that Aoki-‘Jiri isn’t happening? But it’ll happen next year. It’ll have to, or both are likely to bolt for the States.
