Dynamite!! 2011

So far the card looks like this.

Lw Title: Shinya Aoki vs Satoru Kitaoka
Fw Title: Hiroyuki Takaya vs Takeshi Inoue
Hw: Fedor Emelianenko vs Satoshi Ishii
Fw: Tatsuya Kawajiri vs Kazuyuki Miyata
Ww: Hayato Sakurai vs Ryo Chonan
Bw GP:
.Masakazu Imanari vs Antonio Banuelos
.Bibiano Fernandes vs Rodolfo Marques
. Final

Holy Shit thats a great start to a card. The Bw GP is a massive deal, If Bibiano wins this he is edging close to number 1 Bw In the world.

Kitaoka is a legend, he beat Condit and Daley and has won his last 4. A really good fight for Aoki.

Unbelievable card, Still waiting to see who Minowa fights and if Saku will fight again.

Super card indeed Aoki vs Kitaoka is a very interesting fight both with very poor stand up but phenomenal ground games. Fedor Ishii should be a very routine for Fedor Ishii really has been a major let down since his transition. Miyata vs Kawajiri is pretty solid fight too be interesting to see how that pans out.

Aoki vs Kitaoka?

oh wow.
i hope its a good fight, those guys are really close, they have been cornering each other for as long as i can remember.
i guess thats changed since Aoki came to train in Singapore though.

Ishii is training at Blackhouse for Fedor.

Load of Pro Wrestling on this years card

Saku, Jerome Le Banner, Peter Aerts and even Josh Barnett are all supposed to be in Pro Wrestling matches...

Seems really weird that Barnett is on the Card. Youd think UFC would try and stop him being on Dream cards...

Minowaman wont be on the card, he fought this week and tapped some 0-0 rookie... weird he has fought two guys without a pro fight between them back to back... Maby he is just staying active and getting used to being abck at 185lbs.

Ishii is training at Blackhouse for Fedor.

Ishii has been training with Machida for close to 18 months now, and he's worked a bit with Anderson. Good move for him to set up camp there full time.

Existing strikeforce contracts are only Strikeforce exclusive within the USA. Fighters can fight where-ever they want outside the US. Nothing Dana can do about it.

I remember that Ishii had been training with Machida, he looked huge becide Machida... Did you read Machida was thinking of moving to 185? That would be cool to see if Sonnen smashes Anderson. Sonnen vs Machida at 185 would be a great fight.

I thought that some of the Zuffa bosses had told Barnett no more Pro Wrestling if he was coming to UFC? Could be wrong but I think someone told him to knock it on the head... but I guess he can do what he wants when he is still in his SF contract. Not loving all these Pro Wrestling matches on the card this year. Id have rather see Barnett vs Aerts is a mixed fight, 1 round K-1 and one MMA, that would be cool to see more of them insted of all these Wrestling matches.

I heard from somewhere that Cro Cop will be fighting Le Banner under K-1 rules.

LeBanner is fighting on the 30th in thailand
