Roger and Xande on this card is huge. These two guys are the best grapplers in the world, and it’s good to see them on this card, maybe for a full contact rematch of the Absoluto final at Mundial (which Xande won).
Its not MMA in Japan until they put Sakuraba on the card to get pummelled.
The japanese are the best mma fans in the world but they also ADORE freak shows, mismatches in weight/david vs goliath AND especially merciless ass kickings.
