Nippon Weekly: Former Pride Boss Nobuyuki Sakakibara Back in MMA? -- MMA Fighting
Press Conference Next Or Next x2 Week! New Company Name? | Nightmare Of Battle
Bleh. Time to look for a place to find full Shooto and Pancrase events.
FEG USA's Mike Kogan this week confirmed to MMA Fighting that the leading Japanese promoter's internal restructuring will not be completed until at least May and no FEG events are expected until at least July.
At the moment, FEG is planning to continue all three of its major events (K-1, K-1 MAX and DREAM), although that is obviously subject to change and it is clear that the events will be scaled down.
The financial state of FEG is still uncertain and Kogan was unable to confirm whether Chinese backer PUJI or any sponsors are still involved in FEG events. It seems as though Dynamite, K-1 MAX and DREAM broadcaster TBS has not signed on for 2011 yet, all signs are indicate that a new contract will be discussed after FEG's restructuring process is complete.
