I'm not saying he farts pieces of the true cross, but when he wins, he does so in a manner people talk about. That's why there's so much excitement.

Plus he's one of the best 170 lbs fighters in the world and is going to be dropping weight to LW so he'll probably be a monster.

Aoki will murder Black. He is that good. Kawajiri will hurt Brennan very, very badly. The other 2 match-ups are more of a toss-up.

If my sources are correct, he actually does fart pieces of the true cross too. You heard it here first.

I wouldn't disagree with that

Bad form. You have to wait until Shinya wins in a spectacular fashion, and THEN the "Shinya Aoki will sub gomi" threads will run rampant. Because Shinya will have gotten a sub on a big stage in an exciting way, and Gomi was subbed recently.

Nevermind that Gomi is a monster wrestler and that Aoki hasn't shown himself to be really durable, which one needs to be when taking Gomi on, unless you can get him to throw a haymaker and fall over into your side control.

Wait, what card is this in? Is this the next Pride Bushido?

Aoki is a great grappler and competitor, but to think he's going to walk over Black is idiotic. Black is a great competitor and for the most part he is unbeaten. His fight with Carter ended in a loss because of his dislocated elbow. It's a great fight and I think it's 50/50.

When is this taking place? Anyone know the date?
