Sengoku announces four fighters for Middleweight Grand Prix
Aug 8 08 Posted by Sam Caplan
World Victory Road’s Sengoku promotion has announced four of the eight fighters that will be competing in its Middleweight Grand Prix beginning at Sengoku 5 on Sept. 28 at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
According to a press release received by FiveOuncesOfPain.com on Friday, Jorge Santiago, Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos, Siyar Bahadurzada, and former UFC and PRIDE light heavyweight Kazuhiro Nakamura will all be a part of the tournament field.
Santos is a former veteran of PRIDE and the husband of EliteXC female fighter Cris “Cyborg” Santos. The Chute Boxe Academy team member is contracted in the U.S. to the San Jose based Strikeforce promotion but has yet to compete there due to visa issues.
Santiago is a veteran of the UFC and the Art of War promotions. Like Santos, he also also under contract to Strikeforce and won the promotion’s four-man, single night middleweight tournament last November.
