The Nagata Fight for me is a no brainer, A typical Sambo Fighter going against an Olympic Gold Medalist Wrestler. I think Nagata takes him down and holds him there

Yeah me to I'm # 21 in Points and # 7 in Earnings despite after having only 33 Points for World Victory Road. I'm still mad 9 Times out of 10 Takimoto wins that fight easily and Neto disappointed me

Neto screwed me over to. him and Michael Johnson both.

and yep. Takimoto was my only miss on WVR...and by submission!!?!?! what the freak

Yeah I thought he would've become a Dong Sik Yoon type of Fighters with Excellent Judo and Slick Submissions

haha same here..

I have a feeling a am not gonna stay at the top of the 2ndary league for long...this event and the next 2 have too many close calls..haha

and do they give out badges for top 3 event earnings/points like they for the main league? or just season

---

Yeah most are close but I have a Strong I dea of who will win, if you need any help with your Picks just pm me. They give badges for The Top Earner for Points and Earnings for 1 Event then at the end of the Season the Top 10 for both get Badges

sounds good.. I am gonna get me one of those badges this season. haha

yeah I have an idea of who will win most of them (i think haha)...the only one giving me major trouble in Dream is the damn Dida fight...I think he is more aggressive and has fought the 10 minute round before and should win...but Alverez is bigger, taller, and stronger...which can be a big difference in the standup game.

---

Yeah but cutting all of that weight makes him loose Cardio and he is used to being the quicker Fighter and he's not in this Fight and I think Dida will catch him by Suprise and get the Decision. Just how nobody knew who Andre was when he faught Uno but I knew he had skills from following Heroes. I think it will play out to that effect.

Anyone know if this will be televised?

HDNet, maybe?

In all fairness, the knock on Eddie at 170 was that he was too small and could be even suited to fighting at 155... I was listening to his interview on Beatdown a while back, right after his lose to Thompson (who's a gigantic WW) and TJ and Josh were asking him about moving down and the like... But he said that he liked fighting bigger guys and didn't feel they had any real strength advantage over him, etc...

Anyways with all that being said, I don't see him ever really fighting at 155 but 160 could be the perfect weight for him... He's showed that he's grown in his last couple of fights, utilizing his good TD's along with his solid standup...

Don't mean to sound like I'm all up on Alverez's nuts, but I'll be watching out for this kid in this tournament...

Yeah the cut isn't to 161 like Pride, the cut is to 154 so that'll be a horrible cut for him.

Also Eddie is used to being the faster more agile striker which he isn't in this fight, I mean he looked Great in the Aaron Riley Fight where he just dropped him in the 1st couple of seconds and finished him off with a beautiful barrage of punches but he showed me weaknesses in 2 of his Fights, When he faught Hanazawa and when of course the Goat finished him. When he faught Hanazawa he was easily put on his back and controled but he was so explosive at 170 that he was able to get up which is the explosivness that I think he'll loose against Andre. And in the Nick Thompson Fight, it seems that when he goes up against good competition he gets really tentative like he ins't the same Fighter as we saw against Matt Lee and Ebanes. I don't think he has been the same fighter since then. And I don't think he'll be able to take Andre down because he has never showed me a Good Takedown.

No arrangements in place. With 4 days to go I'm guessing it won't come to fruition.

First fight appears to be at 3pm on Saturday, March 15th in Japan.

Which means to follow Play-By-Play in America would start at 11pm Friday night for West-coasters or 2am Saturday morning for East-coasters assuming someone was updating live PBP in English.

Eddie has also never faught a better Striker than him so I think that Andre's Superior Striking will play to an effect

here are my picks as of now...they are subject to change mind you:

JZ 2nd (T)KO (maybe UD i might change it)
Kawajiri UD (might be KO in 1st...but most likely it will stay UD for me)
Frimino 1st Sub
Hansen 1st (T)KO (possible submission here)
Amade 2nd (T)KO
CC 1st (T)KO
Ishida UD
Nagata UD
Sakurai 1st (T)KO (could be UD)

Yeah I think that Shinya will do all he can do to not get finished like flop to his back so he'll likely loose the Unanimous Decision, Buscape is a very risky Pick and I think Boku is a Good enough Fighter to not get Finished. Also I don't think Kultar gets 4 Mintues into the Fight because Kawajiri is just on a whole other level. Solid Picks all around

I'm wondering what we'll see since Cro Cop's fighting a new opponent. I hope we see two guys added to the LW tourney.

It'll be a Great Fight for Cro Cop, I'll give Mizumo 2 Minutes or Less and I hope they add someone like Nakakura who is a gy, rat that always stays in shape so they could give him a few days and he'd fight. He'd definatly make it past the 1st Round of the Tourny.

A guy like Eiji Mitsuoaka would be a great addition in that he has great Wrestling not quite up to Miyata or Nagata but It's solid and he has some slick submissions and has devastating Leg Kicks.

I have yet another change in my picks, I now have Buscape pulling out a submission in the 1st. Buscape has seemed a bit passive with his Jui Jitsu against opponents who wil let him, but Miyata won't let him. He'll take Buscape down and most Likely get put into a Trinagle Choke.

I think I am sticking with Miyata...but these are hard picks..almost everyone of them..except the Kawajiri pick is tough calls for me..

I hear ya. I haven't agonized over a card like this in awhile.
