Sengoku Gold Cup Lightweight (70kg) Finals
Koji Ando (2-0-2) vs. Ikuo Usuda (4-0) at Sengoku IX
The match was announced on Sunday's episode of SENGOKU-G!, where they also showed both fighters' semifinal bouts. Ando overwhelmed debuting SK Absolute product Kohei Maruyama with punches to score a quick TKO victory in the opening frame.
Following an uneventful first round, Usuda took top position on Kota Okazawa and unleashed some ground and pound which appeared to break the ZST fighter's nose and forced a referee stoppage.

![Jorge Santiago In Talks With Strikeforce:
Portal das Lutas – Are you happy in Japan?
Jorge Santiago – I’m stoked in Japan and intend to stay there a good while. I haven’t fought in the United States since 2007, but now with Pezao [Antonio Silva], who also fights in Sengoku, we now have a good opening in Strikeforce. That’s something we started talking about last week and, if all goes well, I’ll start fighting in two countries. It could be I get a shot at Strikeforce, if just because the event will let me fight in Japan too, so I’ll be able to fight the whole year.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/80113/sf-071116-santiago_small.jpg)
!["I still don't have a definite opponent. The first name that showed up was [Kazuo] Misaki, which would be a rematch, but now they're looking for another Japanese for me to fight. I'm waiting, training for whoever shows up."
- Sengoku middleweight champ Jorge Santiago speaking to Tatame. It was thought that Santiago could face Joe Doerksen at Sengoku 11 on November 7th.](http://cdn2.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/76381/20090105042633_200901042338_small.jpg)
