Michihiro Omigawa (64.8 kg / 142.9 lbs) vs. Young Sam Jung (64.8 kg / 142.9 lbs)

Kazuhiro Nakamura (83.8 kg / 184.7 lbs) vs. Karl Amoussou (83.5 kg / 184 lbs)
Loiseleur also reports on this special moment between lightweight champ Shinya Aoki and challenger Tatsuya Kawajiri:
"I don't really like to take a look at men's bodies, so I didn't really look at him. He said he'll surprise the fans. I'll make sure ours will be a shocking fight," said the challenger.
"I like both men and women," retorted Aoki, running with the gag Kawajiri gave him. "His body is a nice body, and if we both fight with men's spirit, we can have a fight that everyone wants to see."
I'll be live-blogging the show as it airs live on HDNet at 3 a.m. ET this Saturday, so be sure to join myself and the BE Night Crew for another sleep-deprived MMA marathon.

It’s nice to see the Tobikan Judan is still creepy as hell.
Over/under on the number of comments before the Aoki/Imanari pics pop up – 6.5.
And it’s funny that it says O’Brien wasn’t there because he was still cutting…yet they attribute comments to him about his wrestling being similar to Mo’s. Am I missing something?

Those comments were from yesterday's individual fighter interviews
Actually, a lot of the comments in the piece was from the individual fighter interview day on Thursday, while the weigh-in was on Friday.
The usual press schedule for major shows in Japan are generally like that—two days out, they trot out the fighters for th collected media to lob topical questions at, and then the day before, they weigh them in and ask for a perfunctory comment afterward like, “what’s your impression of seeing your opponent face to face?” and such-like.

Was that comment in jest or is he literally gay?

Very awkward comment
by Aoki. Kawajiri is gonna knock him out.
He's a 6-foot-tall lightweight.
and he doesn’t cut a lot of weight, so what do you expect?

Wow.
That’s just crazy. Way too little for being that tall.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
He looks small enough that you could just pick him up and dump him on his head.
That said, my money is on Aoki.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
you'd probably regret trying
after he broke multiple limbs and left you for dead.

Might be saying that he’d want Aoki on his side in a street fight, defending Aoki’s sick skills despite his light weight

Ricco Rodriguez could fight at this card because of Obrien's weight issues.
Depends if against Jake at HW, or Mousasi at LHW (where he will have to cut weight at the very last minute) …if not, he’s probably fighting on DREAM.16

Hope Amassou's worked on his cardio and ground game since he fought in M-1...
…otherwise Nakamura’s gonna l’n’p the shit out of him all night long

Katsunori Kikuno is the guy who has the zombie stance right, with the arms out and little steps
