Sean McCorkle VS Satoshi Ishii IGF - GENOME 24 Feb 23. Monson pulls out...

Forget 157, here's the big news: @BigSexyMcCorkle has agreed to fight Satoshi Ishii on 36 hrs notice @ IGF in Japan after Monson pulled out!

Easier fight for Ishii. He going to finish maybe.

I liked Monson over Ishii, but I think this is a fight which Ishii should win, especially considering the short notice circumstance.

Sucks that Monson is out. Was looking forward to that. They did get a pretty decent replacement on pretty short notice though.

I´m glad Ishii submitted McCorkle. It would be cool to see Ishii in a Bellator tournament.

Ishii's asking price is probably too much. With Viacom's support, Bellator could easily sign him but they might not feel he's worth what he's asking for.

I'd love to see him in their 205 division though.

How much does he make? Do the Bellator tournament fighters still get the same pay up until the titleshot? I haven´t followed the payouts lately.

I don't have details, but i'm pretty sure Ishii is probably already making six figures.

Great to hear Ishii finished him.
