Will there be fights this year on TV New Years Eve?

I saw the Akebono travesty a couple years back. Was it Bob Sapp he was fighting? I can't believe people thought Akebono would last more than 10 seconds.

Yeah, there are two big shows in Japan, Yarennoka ( Yarennoka! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) and like every year K-1 Dynamite ( K-1 PREMIUM 2007 Dynamite!! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
which I am looking real forward to the KID Yamamoto fight.

I dont think akebono fought bob sapp, but some gigantic brazillian guy called Giant Silva, who always loses, and akebono still lost. I think he should just stick to his pro wrestling for now.

I am not sure what year this was, but this was the fight...maybe 2005 or so

Giant Silva! He is like the K-1 Andre the Giant. A real freak of nature.

If Pride and K-1 have joined forces, why do they go up agaisnt each other on New Years Eve?

Ohh, I guess they did fight.

Pride actually was sold out to Zuffa who owns UFC, Yarennoka is put on buy people that used to work for Pride, it is like their last sendoff. actaully in the past K-1 and Pride had a falling out and competed against each other on NYE.

MMM your on his side 0_o

Don't forget the UFC event tomorrow night guys!!!

Lyoto Machida is fighting again :)



wish him all the best please!

What is more popular in Japan right now? K1???

I am a striker myself, so naturally, I wasn't too interested in any association that allow grappling... what other active organization are out there in Japan now?

This year there was a big crisis about all the promotions in Japan. I think K-1 as crazy as this sounds is still death right now. They still don't have a money donor who wants to keep it going. But I am not really updated on the latest there.

MMA however and espcially DREAM, which is the biggest MMA promotion right now will hold new event very soon. I think it was June, late June.

Another promotion in Sengoku seems to be done as well.. really rough times in the world of fighting back there.

DREAM 17 'Fight for Japan' Bantamweight Grand Prix fight card and rumors for May 29 in Saitama - MMAmania.com

Thats why i haven't seen any new matches coming out... that really suck, and half good organization is sucked up by White and turn it into a UFC franchise with UFC rules....

Lyoto Machida is back guys I told you :)
