yeah was thinking the same thing. Jaideep didn't look too good in his last couple kickboxing fights.

But he can speak Japanese and hes got an Indian background so i guess its good for both Eastern markets.

Fight will probably be iffy though.
Its 100% to gather that market and he's coming for SFL and ONE.

What kind of rules is Samarai going to have? I'm hoping Pride rules but seeing as its being shown on Spike I'm not sure if the casual viewers could handle seeing someone punted and stomped in the face.

Maybe they'll just edit it out which would be super lame.

Pride rules minus soccer kicks and stomps?

hows his reputation in Japan following the Yakuza Pride scandal though?

There was always talk that Nobuyuki Sakakibara was working close with the Yakuza. That seems like a pretty large thing to try and get people to forget when starting a new promotion. Are the new backers some of these shady people again?

Could be. I remember way back when they would show Pride fights on their weekly show (I think it was on FSN) they would skip past the parts that had the stomps and kicks and just show a crowd shot.

I hope Spike doesn't do that.

I think he'll be fine. Specially with his saudi backers.

Agree. Fuck it...bring this shit on. Pyrotechnics, ramps, Lenne Hardt, Fedor smashing some fool, and a few freak shows.

I AM....

Actually, Arona would've been masterful.

The hardest thing for me, and I beleive this, is that fedor could negotiate an instant title shot against his nemesis werdum. If I wanted to. I'd understand taking a warm up or 2 first but if he really wants to scratch his itches he could yet he chooses not to.

And that's fine. Fedor can do whatever the fuck he wants. But the fan in me has a major sad right now that we diddnt get some major comeback that would be made into a movie some day.

I still think he's got it is the problem, I'd like him to prove his doubters wrong and show mma who's the boss

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to tune in to see this because I just love the sport. But it's a disgrace that Fedor is fighting a guy that's only 1-0 in MMA and carries a three fight losing streak in kickboxing. I can't argue with chasing the money, but I'm hoping he will try to challenge himself a little bit more and renegotiate with the UFC. Fedor has not really handled the latter part of his career very well and I do believe it has harmed his legacy.

Babalu wants on the card...

Would Arona v Babalu be a matchup that could happen?

Does he have ties to BTT?
