The Dynamite!! 2010 thread

A bit of a bizarre retirement fight (if he is retiring.) I suppose he wants to go out with one last title but I think some thing like a rematch with Minowa would be better than fighting a poor man's Cro Cop. Ofc if he wins, he might decide not to retire.

yeah if he wins he may not retire always the same with fighters on the decline a win and they some how think they are back on track.

Josh Thomson vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri has been signed for Dynamite.

Damn was just going to post that! What a fight Thompson on Crusher! Im backing Crusher to avenge Japanese MMA after Aoki vs Melendez!! Looking forward to that one.

Chesty Saku was up at 190 or something for the Ralek Gracie fight wasnt he? Anfield is right whitemare could be at 155, this is a winnable fight for Saku, He beat Galesic which is more or less the same fight against a bigger opponent.

What an event its shaping up to be!

Fw Title: Bibiano Fernandes v Hiroyuki Takaya
Ww Title: Mariusz Zaromskis v Kazushi Sakuraba
Lw Title: Shinya Aoki v
Lw: Josh Thompson v Tatsuya Kawajiri
Hw: Gegard Mousasi v Jerome Le Banner (or Ishii)
Ow: Minowaman v
Mw: Melvin Manhoef v

Off hand I wouldnt mind seeing Manhoef fight Minowa.

Speaking via FiveOuncesOfPain.com Kennedy said:

“I said yes to two different names for the December 4th card but both guys turned down the fight.”

Kennedy also revealed that he’s exploring the possibility of a switch to DREAM over in Japan, with a slot on their December 31st Dynamite!! 2010 event a real draw. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on his possible involvement as we get it.
---------------------------------------------------

Kennedy on the Dream card would be a great thing for them... Id love to see Minowa back down at 185 fighting him. With Dream going down the shitter it would be good for Minowa to make a move to trying to take on relevant guys how own size despite having mixed results with similar sized guys in the past....

Any Ideas for an opponent or who would have turned him down?

So who we got here that hasnt been anounced?

Overeem at the back...

Kid Yamamotto at infront of JLB (Reading he has 1 more fight on the Dream contract)

Akiyo "Wicky" Nishiura down at the bottom of the poster (cant miss that pink hair!)

Who is between Saku and Bibiano?

think UNO, Mach and Kikuno are on the poster at the bottom too....

i cannot wait for this event. i always look forword for the new year events.

KID has 2 DREAM fights left im reading now...

Shinichi Suzukawa (Banned Sumo, whos been doing pro-wrestling) Might be Mousasi's opponent. Heres him wrestling Coleman this year...



There a rumour there might be a couple of Mixed K-1/MMA rules fights!!

overeem is on the poster but i cannot find on the net weather or not he is fighting.

He isnt 100% confirmed you, Dream always keep their cards close to their chests with who is fighting who... Overeem will fight on NYE as long as he comes through K-1 un-injured.

Theres that Sumo if he wants a can. Theres Ishii or Jerome Le Banner. Theres 3 Hw fighters we know of on the card. Could see Overeem vs JLB in a Mixed K-1 MMA rules fight, that would be cool.

I reckon he gets a total can so we can see an Uberknee finish to set up the Werdum fight.

Is it just me or does Aoki's head look to big for his body.

It looks like an advertisement for a new bobble head doll

Haha yeah it really does! Aoki's opponent is Yuichiro “Jienotsu” Nagashima

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuichiro_Nagashima

Gook kickboxer he was the 2010 K-1 World MAX 2010 under 70kg Japan Tournament winner.

16-3 in K-1
3-2 in MMA

Not a terrible fight, should get him a bit of confidence back if he wins this.

"MMAFighting confirm a mixed fight (alternating rounds between K-1 and MMA rules) between DREAM Lightweight champion Shinya Aoki and K-1 MAX cosplayer Yuichiro “Jienotsu” Nagashima that has been rumored."


wow...


just wow.....

NOW i have got that Dynamite feeling!!

to be honest if the first round is K1 Jienotsu wins, if its MMA...its very liely Aoki will win.

Nagashima is 2-2 in MMA, both wins by KO inside a minute.

Josh Thomson, Wicky Akiyo, Katsunori Kikuno, Mach Sakurai, Kazyuki Miyata, caol Uno, Tatsuya Mizuno, and Kazuhiro Nakamura are on the bottom of the poster.

is caol uno fighting? havent heard anything from him since his release from ufc in march.

he showed up at DREAM 15 saying that he was gonna make his FW debut at D.16, but they couldnt find an opponent, or he was injured...or something

Aoki/Nagashima is alternating MMA and K-1

just so you have an idea of what that might be like:

(if history is anything to go by, it WILL be awesome!! )

this fight went on both their mma records BTW

Wow heard yesterday that there was gunna be a k1/MMA fight, Aoki was the last person I expected to see in it!!

Big Brass balls on him for taking the fight!!

Who is the guy between Bibiano and Saku?

thats Jienotsu Nagashima! Aoki's opponent.

So latest is, the card is getting announced on Friday...

Im reading that Mach might be fighting against Jason High... Good fight there.

No word on who JLB has picked or who Minowaman will fight

I'm not sure this MMA/K-1 fight is the greatest idea for Aoki. I like the concept, just not for Aoki. It's fine for guys like Sapp/Le Banner because they've competed in both. Aoki is generally considered to have some of the worst stand-up. And while I think it's exaggerated, he still isn't exactly K-1 level is he? The fight can also be really bad, Aoki might spend the whole kickboxing round running away and his opponent will do the same in the MMA fight. Credit to him for taking it though, it's a challenge at least. If they fought in a MMA fight, Aoki wins in a round easily.

they will probably start with 3 minutes of MMA...giving Jienotsu at least a chance of survival to the K-1 round...3 minutes is not that long.

anyways you can say its not the greatest idea or whatever..but in Dynamite, in most cases you win, you lose, no matter!
its about the fun for the fans!

I heard it was a 10 minute MMA 1st round. This thing is not going to a K-1 rules round.

where did you hear that?>
i heard it will be a K-1 round first!

oh well, lets just wait for the announcement!
