BW debut in Dream, by the way

He fought Faber in KOTC at BW in 2006. Should be a load at ’35.

I would love to see Tokoro win the two tournaments in a row. Consecutive wins over Yoshiro Maeda, Atsushi Yamamoto, and Masakazu Imanari was impressive enough. Imagine if he adds Antonio Banuelos, Abel Cullum, Bibiano Fernandes, or even another win over Imanari. I will officially declare 2011 the Year of Tokoro if this happens.

He's always exciting as well, win or lose

I’m really interested to see how Bibiano looks at BW. I think, in the smaller weights, the drop isn’t always as effective because of the emphasis on speed/agility.

I actually dig this card overall

We finally get to see the Crusher x Hansen rematch after the nut shot in Shooto. I can’t believe those two haven’t run into each again before this.

I’m intrigued by Gerald Harris x Kaz Nak, especially what will happen in the clinch.

Kitaoka x Freire will be a sick grappling match.

Lion x Uno is king of like a legends match.

BW GP has the #17 – 20 ranked fighters and a top ranked FW. I wonder why Masakatsu Ueda didn’t participate?

This should be a good event, solid card. It would be nice to see them have reserve bouts for the tournament. Also bummed Kawajiri isnt on the card, but regardless, great card

Is this card going to be on HDnet? If so… when?
