Nice card, have you heard anything about Tyson Griffin? I heard he signed a 3 fight contract and rumored to fight in aug.

Those 2nd round matches are kind of weak sauce. I don't really care to see Hendo/Misaki II so soon. None of these matches really overly excite me. Kang vs Suloev seems to be the best match up on there.

I hope they have some very good non tourney matches. I read somewhere that they were gonna have a contender match for Gomi's title on this card also

Shit id like to see Filho in action, I think this card is better than the UFC 62 . Chuck vs Sobral ....... I want to see that.

[NinjaShogunRua]

I wanna see Filho in action too, but he would work a healthy Chonan IMO. Isn't Chonan a little banged up?

[Matt Boone]

Kang-Suloev should be cool. The way it's set up the semi-finals would be Henderson, Filho, Kang, and Gono - so they're doing the quarters the right way, unfortunately it doesn't make for very exciting matches on paper. I'm sure the fights themselves will turn out good, as most Bushido shows usually do.

That's true, I'm just so used to seeing a Bushido card and immediately cream my pants. This one so far is just eh. I hope Mousasi can pull off the upset, but I don't see it happening. I'm sure they'll put some really nice LW non-tourney matches on this card.

I just hope they don't give Gomi an easier fight coming back from his 1st loss in Pride.
