I agree and I think Nam falls right into ISAO's strong suits. He definitely won't give him the trouble that Patino did.

The next Pancrase card, headlined by a champion x champion bout between Rin Nakai and Brenda Gonzales, has been announced as being shown on uStream.

From the looks of it, it seems to be a worldwide stream.

Thats great news, how much though?

Thu Apr 25, 2013 1:18 pm

I believe 1000 yen, which should equate to around 10 dollars.

Sounds great but wish it was free or $2.00 like KSW charges. Too many IPPVs

I think its well worth it. Organizations like Pancrase and DEEP don't have benefit of being on a large scale network like KSW does and has to be placed on the very expensive subscription channel SamuraiTV.

Yeah, just wish there was a way to catch these if not live then same day or next day. Paying for UFC PPVs, KSWs, and ONE FC events is quite a bit alone but then adding DEEP, Pancrase, Road, and Legend if they are all $10 each is a bit much.

Would be cool if AXS TV would just pick them all up live. They could free up space by getting rid of the smaller regional shows and picking up some of these solid international shows (M-1 again as well).

$10 is a cup of coffee.
It's nothing for great JMMA live!

I wish there was live streams for DEEP they could make money setting up streams for their events.

Sometimes I don't get download links for DEEP for a week to a month later..
it really sucks but better then nothing i guess.

JMMA could really use the ten dollars, anyways.

MMA is healthy in many other places but it'd be a big statement if everyone supported these cards for the greater cause.

DEEP has announced a few fights and appearances for their DEEP Cage Impact Korakuen card on June 15th.

Currently headlined by a featherweight tilt between Doo Ho Choi and SHOJI, DEEP also announced former DEEP Middleweight Champion Ryuta Sakurai will face off against Yuji Sakuragi.

Slated to appear are DEEP Featherweight Champion Kazunori Yokota and Katsunori Kikuno.

Big fan of the current main event, as both have very devastating punching power and tend to slug it out, but I think Choi's wrestling will push him towards the victory. What worries me is Choi's subpar striking defense, as seen in Nagakura fight, which could lead to trouble against SHOJI.

Agreed for 10 dollars this is a steal imo. Only question a fellow in chat said ustream didnt use a form of secure purchase? Any input on this wekka?

Yeah, I'll probably buy it. It is worth it for JMMA.

Looks like DREAM gave Aoki, a parting gift after all.

Nice. Great pic of the Asian LW champion.

In Seichi Ikemoto's retirement, he fell to Ryo Chonan. Best of luck to the former DEEP Welterweight champ in his future endeavours.

Also on the card, promising prospect Yuya Shibata earned himself another victory.

According to Kazuyuki Miyata on his Facebook page, he's been notified of DREAM having a year-end show.

JEWELS MMA to be Absorbed by DEEP MMA

A quick rundown of the changes.
“DEEP Jewels” will start up August 31.
In November they’ll be holding 106lb and 116lb tournaments to determine new champs for the divisions.
They plan on holding tournaments every year.
The female fighters will have their chance to fight in bigger venues than in Jewels like Korakuen Hall.
They’ll be offering contracts to former Deep/Jewels fighters.
They’ll be looking for cross promotion with Invicta FC.
Former Jewels fighter Shizuka Sugiyama will be fighting on the main DEEP card July 20 against an opponent TBA.

Sucks an all female promotion had to go down, but this is a great opportunity for more exposure and growth for the female fighters.

Excellent news for DEEP, as this further solidifies them as the top Japanese promotion. You could probably say they have a better women's roster than the UFC now, too.
