Gregory gave me the heads up to start a thread solely based on JMMA. So here it is. I'll mainly be focusing on everything JMMA oriented, so I'll continuously post cards, updates, results, info and more. Results will have their own separate threads. Enjoy your JMMA!

Just saw Ben Henderson is on the list of competitors . was his competition to get in bad or is he really that good. I know he just barely got his black belt. guess Crouch is a beast of a teacher.



Edit : And he won his first fight vs Leo Nogueira

If I recall correctly he was just invited, not sure he ever even went to a qualifier. He proved he at least belonged there though

Indeed, although she looks exactly like KID, not sure if that makes it weird or all the more right. Leaning towards right

These signings are odd. I love watching Asian talent in the UFC but besides Choi, Jiri and Horiguchi these aren't the most talented guys being brought over. Seems like the UFC either waits too long and brings them in on the downside of their careers or gets above average dudes. At least they get a chance tough. What can you do.

I feel you Legz but if the UFC can persuade Kikuno to fight at Featherweight I think him and Kawajiri can do pretty damn well. Choi, Horiguchi, Gyu Lim, Ishii and Zombie are the base of the future of talented Asians to mount off of. 

They're making these signings so they can fill the Singapore and other far eastern cards with Asian's though. That's really it.

I'm cool with it, not every guy needs to be a future top 10 level talent. Shimizu could hang around depending on who they match him with plus he's fun to watch. Kikuno I could see being midlevel - top 20ish and he has a really fun and unique style to watch. I would like to see them go for some of the younger prospects though like a Ng, Ulka, or Tanaka, not sure how their contracts are though and if they would allow for it. All 3 could be ready in time for the Singapore card.

I agree but some of them just don't add up. Yes Shimizu is exciting but since there seems to be so few spots for Japs I would rather it go to better guys who deserve it. I would prefer Ishiwatari like you mentioned over him for example. Just as exciting but a better fighter. Just me venting.

Pancrase will be going to Unified Rules and the last you will see of their legendary ring is March 20th :(

While moving to have shows towards unified rules was a great move for Pancrase, I think it would have been better for them to keep the split events and run the Bayside Fights events with their regular shows. I think they might alienate their audiences with quickly moving over to unified only rules with a 10 sided cage, taking away their famous ring that has been around longer than the UFC.

I think the new poster for Shooto: 5th round 2013 was pretty funny. I don't think I've ever seen a dressed dude on an event poster. SO SWAG!

He was on Shooting Disco 21 and 22 as well repping the yellow Polo and the skeet shorts, dude came to **** *******









Idk why but I generally really like Shooto's event posters nice and simple but still manage to not look absolutely bland like most
