Shooto's last 20th Anniversary event - one of the best shows of the year which nobody will get to see - kicks off in Tokyo in just a few hours. Here are results from yesterday's weigh-ins via Sportsnavi; undercard fighter Bo Kyung Sol was listed as "absent."
"Lion" Takeshi Inoue (65kg) vs. Rumina Sato (65kg)
Takanori Gomi (69.9kg) vs. Takashi Nakakura (70kg)
Yusuke Endo (69.9kg) vs. Willamy Chiquerim (70kg)
Mitsuhiro Ishida (69.9kg) vs. Mizuto Hirota (70kg)
Kenichiro Togashi (69.7kg) vs. Tetsuji Kato (69.8kg)
Kotetsu Boku (70kg) vs. Yutaka Ueda (69.9kg)
"Wicky" Akiyo Nishiura (65kg) vs. Takumi Ota (64.8kg)
Megumi Fujii (52kg) vs. Choi Em Bun (51.8kg)
Bo Kyung Sol (n/a) vs. Takesuke Kume (77.6kg)
The returning "Fireball Kid" told reporters at the weigh-ins that he feels good and "tomorrow will be a good day," while his opponent Nakakura said he would relinquish his welterweight title if he lost to Gomi, even though it is officially a non-title fight.
To ease the pain of not being able to watch this stacked card, check out Jordan Breen's excellent two-parter "A Blood Called Shooto" (Part 1 & Part 2) over at Sherdog.

I thought Gomi was going take a longer vacation...
Interesting to see if Gomi can beat Nakakura. Nakakura is 11-2-1 with most of his wins coming via decision.
It’s a non-title fight but the champ will just GIVE the belt to Gomi? That guy is overrating The Fireball 30 Year Old much as most ranking sites do.
Maybe you can teach me that Gomi isn’t overrated instead of just being an ass.

Meanwhile, #6 Lightweight Reza Madadi came away with a controversial decision victory over UFC regular Rich Clementi in what turned out to be a bitterly contested title fight in Madadi's home country of Sweden. During the staredown at the weigh-ins, Clementi responded to an overly aggressive Madadi with a hard headbutt attempt that thankfully missed it's target.
