Ikuhisa "Punk" Minowa subs big Errol Zimmerman by "toe hold"in Rd.1
Daisuke Nakamura subs Hideo Tokoroby armbar in Rd.1
Andy Ologun shocks everyone by actually winning a fight by KOing Yukio Sakaguchi in Rd.1 Bob Sapp fought Akihito Tanaka, a masked "Pro Wrestler" by TKO proving the "Beast" is still a sideshow attraction and not a legit MMA fighter.
Semmy Schilt used his 10 foot long legs to submit Siala Siliga with a nice triangle choke. I wonder what could happen if the near 7'0" fighter made a run at real opponents?
Hayato "Mach" Sakurai TKO's Katsuyori Shibata to win 2 in a row after dropping an upset loss to David Baron. Back on track lets see Mach back in title contention. A bevy of good opponents await such as Eddie Alvarez, Joachim Hansen, JZ, and Aoki.
Mirko Filipovic chopped down Hong Man Choi injuring the 7'2" "Goliath's" left leg. What is most surprising about this fight is that "Cro Cop" stated that he will fight 3 more times in DREAM next year and then plans to retire with a final fight in the UFC! However, he is taking the 1st 6 months off to have yet another knee surgery. Fitting those 3 fights into the other 6 months of 2009 seems unlikely but it will be fascinating to watch Cro Cop wind down his career to see where he will stand in the history of MMA.
Melvin Manhoef clocked Mark Hunt unconscious in a mere 18 seconds of their bout!. Outweighed by 50 lbs., Manho struck, needing only 2 punches as Hunt came charging in giving the New Zealander his 1st KO loss in MMA. A big upset and Mark has now dropped his last 4 fights!
Shinya Aoki subbed the seemingly always over zealous Eddie Alvarez with a heel hook in the 1st stanza. Aoki then called out BJ Penn citing his will to "fight the best in the world." Hmmm, could be interesting.
Kiyoshi Tamura defeated Kazushi Sakuraba by decision. Continue your "Sakuraba should retire" conversations.
