Triggonomics is out, some sort of visa issues? Heard HDnet is showing this event! Lets go Denis KANG!!!!

Richard Says, in 4-27-2008 at 16:03:13 from 75.43.214.163

anyone esle notice all the japanese fighters are fighting
each other, and all the non japanese fighters are fighting each other except aoki/jz. This guarentees 4 japenese fighters will make it to the next round, sounds kinda fishy to me, not to mention sakuraba is fighting a can with an 0-0 proffesional record. The matchups just dont make sense to me, i mene andre dida and eddie alverez both had a good chance of winning the tourney and they were matched up against each other? same with kang vs mousasi? both could easily beat any of the japanese guys on the dream.2 card(not including aoki) but they have to fight each other?

“i thought frank trigg was gettin in on this”

yeah trigg was contacted by dream to fight and he agreed but said nothing would happen till he had a contract in front of him. The japanese took that as an oral agreement that he would fight and matched him up against Ronaldo Jacare. i dont know if they knew or not but trigg was actually training Jacare to get ready for this tournament. they never sent him a contract but they called like a week later asking him if he was ready, he said what are you talking about i never got a contract sent to me, dream acted like he verbally agreed to fight and accused him of not fufilling his obligations. apperently now dreams upset with trigg and triggs upset with dream but i wouldnt be suprised if we saw him on another dream card in the future.

frank trigg sucks

Hopefully UFC signs Sakuraba to dethrone Anderson Silva after Saku wins this tourney

Maybe fishy, but expected. The Jap’s do that with lots of tournies they run to ensure a Japanese fighter advances (in this case, four…). Watch some old Pride.

While I’m on the subject, anyone else notice how much damage a Japanese ref will allow a Japanese fighter as opposed to other fighters?

deadsheep Says, in 4-27-2008 at 23:47:00 from 67.185.114.17

this card kinda sucks…the only worth while fighter is sakuraba…but hes past his prime i think. also a lot of these guys arent really mma fighters, just straight wrestlers and jujitsu guys. i have really high hopes for dream because i prefer the japanese rules in mma, but with cards like this i dont see this getting very big. most of prides talent went to the ufc or other organizations.

Not true.

There is only one Jap v Jap (Tamura v Funaki). Kang, Yoon Dong Sik and Taiei Kin are actually Korean. Andrews Nakahara is Brazillian.

Lots of entertaining fighters on the card…good to see Dream setting up some decent fights.

technicaly your right, i know dong sic yoon and kin are koren but i had no idea nakahara was from brazil with that last name i thought for sure he was japanese. i shouldnt have said japanese vs japanese,( i ment asian fighters vs asian fighters and non asian vs non asian and no im not at all racist) . that said i forget the japanese fans are into the japan vs korea rivalry so i guess it makes sense.

Farmma Says, in 4-28-2008 at 20:51:01 from 202.46.138.127

I at first thought the same as you with the matchups. But there was something wrong, the japanese don’t shamelessly promote themselves,if anything they make it harder. I had to do some research. Nakahara obviuosly has a japanese parent, he looks japanese but he’s a brazillionaire. I’m keen to see his mma debut, his Kyokushin is excellent but I think Saku will spank his ass, most japanese fighters don’t get an easy opponent on debut e.g Yosuke Nishijima v Mark Hunt. This card isn’t overly intriguing but it’ll be decent event, worth a watch.

P.s. JZ is gonna bash Aoki good’n'proper. Like last time but without the elbows to the neck. I think Shinya saw he was going to lose and took the opp to puss out, or maybe I just don’t like his tight ass rainbow pants.

Steamer Bean Says, in 4-29-2008 at 13:07:33 from 68.12.35.211

Viking you’re right. Back in the Pride days, if they were Japanese or even just a fan fave (Wandy), they’d give em every chance in the world to come back. But they’d call it the second a Japanese fighter put a foreiger in a bad situation. Why is Denis Kang still fighting for these guys? He could be a gatekeeper in the UFC or even grab a quick belt or two in WEC or Elite. Don’t get me wrong I loved Pride, but the fact is it doesn’t exist anymore. Baka you’re nuts. Saku would get killed.
