Re: WVR: Sengoku Raiden Championships 12 (Mar. 7th) This is a seriously weak card... possibly the last one World Victory Road/Sengoku will muster. They built the brand around Takanori Gomi and he didn't really pan out as they expected. Now he's with the UFC.

I cared a little about this card, but the main card events were easy to call IMO. sux that Ottawa boy Nick 'The Ninja of Love' Denis lost.
Got to see this last night on HDNet... Maxi and Sandro had some KILLER knockouts. Sandro's uppercut was devastating and had his opponent out for several minutes before eventually being stretchered out. Then right after in the next fight Maxi's opponent gets the same treatment after being pummeled and folded up in the corner. Unfortunately most of the other fights were worth missing. Nakao and Miller was atrocious.
