Sounds like it will probably be non-title, too.

The proposed Aoki-Auerlio match-up is in jeopardy because of Aurelio's exclusive contract with (shady) Shine Fights.

Joe Warren vs. Michihiro Omigawa is off.

Minowaman is facing either James Thompson or Satoshi Ishii at this event.

Results

• Gegard Mousasi def. Tatsuya Mizuno via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 1, 6:10 (to win vacant light heavyweight title)
• Jason "Mayhem" Miller def. Kazushi Sakuraba via submission (arm-triangle choke) - Round 1, 2:09
• Shinya Aoki def. Marcus Aurelio via unanimous decision
• Satoshi Ishii def. Ikuhisa Minowa via unanimous decision
• Hiroyuki Takaya def. Chase Beebe via knockout (punches) R1, 1:45
• Michihiro Omigawa def. Cole Escovedo via submission (reverse armbar) - Round 1, 2:29

I think too often fans call for fighters to retire but a few guys (Shamrock, Goodridge, Pulver, Sakuraba, etc.) are really endangering themselves by staying in the game.
