Seen from another report that Bas is being hired to do commentary

That is a loaded ass roster. Very striker heavy.

Sources close to MMA-JAPAN have informed us that OneFC will institute PrideFC rules combined with Unified rules. To elaborate, the fights will be in a cage, they will allow soccer kicks, head stomps, and they will permit the use of elbows.

To those of you that were complaining about OneFC using the Unified rule set - eat your heart out...

OneFC releases their new theme song after their original one got flooded with negative feedback. This one is pretty good, albeit a bit vanilla. PRIDE theme is still the GOAT.

Me likey.

[SHOGUN]

Ole Laursen is out, but A Sol Kwon (9-1) has replaced him. Kwon throws bombs, so the main event should still be pretty good.
