Shoji Maruyama vs. Doo Ho Choi
Ryuta Sakurai vs. Yuji Sakuragi
Kazunori Yokota vs. Eun Kyum Kim
Katsunori Kikuno vs. Jutaro Nakao
Hidehiko Hasegawa vs. Yuta Kaneko
Shunsuke Inoue vs. Atsushi Yamada

These are the fights to highlight, at least in regards of somewhat relevance.

Good card, I´m a Kikuno fan.

^Yup, pretty solid card.

Quick rundown:

Choi showed momentary lapses in striking defense against Nagakura, a mistake he can't afford to make this time around against the heavy handed SHOJI. If Choi can manage to knock out SHOJI, I honestly think Choi would be a lock for top five featherweight worldwide. That being said, I see Choi weathering the storm and submitting SHOJI in the 2nd.

Sakurai should beat on Sakuragi handily for a clear cut decision.

Yokota has a vastly underrated opponent and anything can happen, really. I believe Kim will make it close in the opening minutes but Yokota uses his vast experience to finish him later in the fight.

Outside of finishing ability with submissions, Kikuno has proven himself to be a fairly well-rounded fighter compared to his early days in DREAM. Jutaro will be tough to finish, so i'll go with Kikuno by decision.

Kaneko will finish Hasegawa early.

I also think Inoue finishes Yamada, but i'm not entirely sure on this pick.

Card is this morning. Sadly plans to stream this event were scrapped

Also, Kaneko/Hasegawa has been scrapped due to an injury caused to Hasegawa.

That's some bad news that there is no stream and HW fight is off.

^ I probably should've clarified that it was Hidehiko Hasegawa, not Ken lol. I thought the same when I first saw it at first.

Megaton fight is still on, though.

From Yuji Shimada's Facebook

From Kazuhiro Nakamura's Facebook.

Kaz Nak looks ballin' in the bowtie, as does Kitaoka with the all matching apparel.

Dan Herbertson was fired from mmafighting when sbnation brought it because they don't give a shit about JMMA.

He lost his working visa & moved back to aus.
as far as i know, he's doing fine.

damn, that sucks. at least hes doing ok for himself.

Doo Ho Choi fight video is already available.  Gotta check this fight out.  Highly entertaining.

Yup, I'd put it at number 2 behind Wand/Stann.  Both were great!
