It is certainly shaping up to be.

Only thing that has me wondering right now, is th point Akiyama is so much bigger than the other guys. I assume he will be in a Superfight on the card.......or he will be cutting a lot of weight.

Kid is the most skilled guy in there but he's seriously undersized

Yeah, no kidding, Akiyama is about 185. His last fight was against the about 260 LeBanner.

From Sherdog? I wouldn`t say that, but I used to spend way too much time there. I did also do damned near every PRIDE and K-1 pbp since late 2002 there until recently, so thanks.

Awesome. These little guy tourneys have me drooling. I care much more about these than the MW GP.

They should collaborate with Pride's LWs who Pride is also planning to have a tournament with. This next Bushido card is supposedly a sort of prelim elimination.

K-1 and PRIDE are fierce competitors. They'll never collaborate. In fact, the purpose of this LW tourny was probably in retaliation to PRIDE's LW tourny.

What about all the Pride vs K-1 shows?

Royler vs Genki II? That would be interesting. I wonder if the outcome will be any different now that Royler will have more than just a weeks notice.

Are you serious, compared to the other fighters in the tourney he is the equal of ogawa in a heavy weight tournament.

ahh I can't get excited about this tournament.

The reason being there are no Brits competeting. I mean where Remedios, J.Silva & co.......

Seriously though they should start brining in more European talent into these lightweight tourneys.

Should be good.

Nope.

What do you mean? Are you stating that Sudo is either more talented or more undersized that Kid?

For both cases, I disagree. The weight issue is not even debatable. Kid is 143 lbs soaking yet. As for who is the more talented fighter, I love Genki, but the correct answer is Kid.
