Fightcard in order for Dynamite!! 2009

Thats the full fight card. These are the fights, they will be shown bottom up so Masato healines (Obviously!) Anway Minowa vs Soko is on good and early in the card and Mousasi is 2nd last fight!!! Goodridge in the Co-Main event!! (If they have a Co-Main event in Japan!)

Soko doesnt come across well in interviews, Him just saying I will punch his head in or punch a hole in his head etc.. looked really thuggish after attacking Jan the Giant after the bell, Ive not seen too much of Soko in interviews and think he came across badly, he said Minowa has nothing but a Leg Lock and a bit of Wrestling!!

I really want Minowa to win Leg Lock him in the 2nd or 3rd when he puffs! Minowa has been hitting the weights or the Overeem diet! The guy looks 200lbs+ in the Buildup to this! I dont know if all the Kung-Fu is going to do him any good but I think the Extra size will allow him to hold for the initial storn in the 1st round.

surprised Mach made weight to be honest he was 200 lbs like 25 days ago.

What time is this going to be on, UK time. I'm shite with time differences!

Im glad the horse meat diet is still working better than ever for Overeem.

260 pounds He is still getting bigger and bigger

i THINK its 8 am.

btw i think goodridge will never win an mma fight again, the former arm wrestling and mma star has found his true calling.



@ 5.30, he is really taking x arm seriously.

Is this on any TV? Sky, ESPN??

That's 8am tomorrow, the 31st?

yes, japan are around 10 hours ahead of us or something like that.
so when it is the evening of the 31st in japan, is is only morning here.

Anyone got any links, other than Justin.tv (never seem to get a decent feed on that site)?

8 AM

By the time im out of bed i would have missed half if not the whole show

Jesus Overeem is getting bigger, 260lbs is a career high and Judging by his K-1 performance its slowing him down. I think he can give up bulking up now! He is like the Dutch Bob Sapp they seem to love him in Japan, his interview consisted mostly of questions about what he eats!!

No results for Minowa and Soko? Im curious to how much Minowa has bulked up, I watched him fight with Wandy today and im shocked at the Size he has put on. Now he activley looks to have bulked up for this fight, when previously in the Superhulk I think he weighed as high as 190lbs!

Hahaha Overoid, its just come to the point where I expect it. Im moved on from the disspointed stage, now its just like Ive given up, kind of like of when a parent catches there child smoking.

Yoshida is a tiny HW as is Ishii, they really should be LHWs.

Looks like Mach has got back to serious training, although I still hope Gono beats him. Not as confident now.

Yoshida is a small LHW, he has simply gotten very fat! he won gold in judo at 78 kgs which is about 172 lbs.
Ishii has only fought at heavyweight so he should have a big size advantage whilst being around the same weight.

Ye im not that suprised, its something with Asian fighters and cutting weight. Ridiculous size disadvantage when he fought Barnett. Probably could make WW and still not be that big, im fairly certain Alves is bigger than him.

quotes from pre-fight presser:

“I am happy to be here and looking forward to destroying Minowaman,” Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou.

“I am Minowaman. I don’t have anything else to say. I will do that in the ring. Be sure to watch the fight,” Ikuhisa Minowa.

“As Izumi’s father is a tuna fisherman, tomorrow I plan to dissect the tuna!” Katsuyori Shibata.

“Yesterday I trained for an hour, and practiced my entrance for three hours. I don’t think I am saying too much by believing I am now at the level good enough for Kohaku. When I think of it, since the Pride event three years ago and then moving to the UFC, I haven’t been on a TV broadcast of this level and I am really looking forward to it. So, my motivation is high and I plan to defeat Mach with the combination of my entrance and the fight, and steak his fame as well,” Akihiro Gono.

“Thank you for coming out in the cold. To the referee, I’m sure I will have such momentum in the fight tomorrow that I will beat him far too badly. Please be sure to jump in and stop me,” Tatsuya Kawajiri.

“Hello, I am Alistair Overeem. I am number one,” Alistair Overeem.

Whats the Craic with this event? wasnt it on at 3am this morning? No results up yet??

ben it started at 8 am and its on now!!!!!

http://www.justin.tv/xxmtv

This is the one day I had to work over the Xmas holidays... here till 5pm so going to miss it live, Not going to spoil it by reading all the results... But I couldnt hold out on the Superhulk results! Ive been trying to find out if Minowa beat Soko!!

I just read the Spoiler for it....

*****SPOILER*****












What a Legend Minowa by KO!!!! Was it good???!!!! Im Over the moon!!! Minowa is a legend! I think I was about the only one who say him winning!!! Fuck Soko... "Minowa only has a leglock and some wrestling".... But obviously enough standup to Knock you out!!! Do you remember how Much Minowa weighed? I think he Diserves on a Just missed out list or the HOF for Sure now!!!!!

with 1 minute left in the fight!
it was the only punch he threw in the round and they both got 2 yellow cards, putting him into a false sense of security and BANG!

GO MINOWA!!!

Legendary Stuff... Maby he wont make any Just missed out lists being realistic but hes gotta diserve a HOF spot now!!

Did Soko mess him up with any GnP? Im sure he hit a good Judo throw or 2!!!

Any Ideas about Minowas weight? He looked Huge in the Buildup, I expected him to be over 200lbs

voice said something about 195 lbs but im not sure, Soko was probably winning, he messed him up a bit in the first, but Soko was saved from a good kneebar at the end of the 2nd.

minowa didnt get a belt or anything, i thought they were going to give him a pair of these.

has yoshida and ishii fought yet?
