Blah card, best fight is Eddie Alvarez vs Kikuno, one of there weaker efforts
Nice to see Marius Zaromskis back in action, sucks that Manhoef had to pull out of the Zelig fight, Overeem keeping busy with some can crushing
Fihlo also pulled out against the Donger, that blows
It's not a bleh card. It's lacks in star power because of injuries, but still a decent card with potential because of the young guns. I'm looking forward to Sengoku XI more, though.
Very disappointed that Andrews Nakahara or Daisuke Nakamura couldn't get on the card. Had they made it on the card and Overeem not given a can to walk through, I'd be more excited about this.
Beebee/Maeda is also a very good fight, Won Sik Park is a very exciting prospect who is getting his first real test in Hironaka and Fujiwara is great.
