Bit of an experience gap between pool A and pool B, no? Kind of makes you wonder if they are trying to ensure Hari gets to the finals. LeBanner vs. Schilt should be interesting, as always. Hopefully JLB can win and come out of the fight without an injury. But he'll probably gas himself out as usual.
Cris Santos's first title defense will likely be against Marloes Coenen, who trains out of Golden Glory in Holland.
Alistair Overeem is possibly going to fight Sam Hogar at Golden Glory 11. Give them a break, it's a small promotion.
Mousasi's first title contender expected to be Sokodjou or Filho. Werdum expected to face Bigfoot Silva.
Ok, this pointless bout has been called off. Instead, Overeem will face 11-2 Tony Sylvester. So, whatever. Keep in mind Overeem will fight at Dream.12 a week later. Supposedly.
Unsurprisingly, Kevin Randleman is probably going to fight Stanislav Nedkov, not Mo Lawal. Randleman isn't exactly taking hard fights anymore and the fight with Lawal was a bad idea from the jump.
Jim York vs. Dave Herman for Sengoku 11. Melvin Manhoef (23-6-1) takes on Zelg Galesic (9-4), and Paulo Filho (18-1) meets Dong Sik Yoon (4-7) for Dream.12.
Mousasi will fight Sok at the Strikeforce show, but the title won't be on the line. Where are we, Japan?
Seriously I hate that shit. It makes no sense that if Sokoudjou were to beat Mousasi that he wouldn't become the champ.
Timmay wants a NYE fight in Japan, and with his manager being Monte Cox, his opponent will probably be Hong Man Choi. Cox also said "or Overeem" but there is no way that fight happens.
Fuck M-1! And yeah, I wanted Sok to take a step up in competition...but not all the way to Mousasi! God I hope he can keep it standing or he drastically improved his ground game.
