Enson,

I hope this message finds you doing well. I was just wondering what is going on with Ganjo these days? Is there any chance Dream will give him a chance to show his stuff at 70 kg in the near future? I thought maybe Sengoku would've also looked at him, Endo, or Nakakura for their upcoming "Road to Gomi" tournament, but instead they chose Mirota, who Ganjo lit up standing and would've finished in the 1st round if it wasn't for the bell and the standing 8 rule.

Also, have you visited Sakuraba's new gym in Shinagawa yet? I went by there before it opened a couple months ago and it looks like it's in a good spot, and I've heard it's a pretty nice facility.

Cheers.

Hey enson, I was wondering if you have any information on george sotiropoulos , I know he got injured, I heard he supposed to face Karo Paryisian. Is he back in training for another fight or is he still injured. He was my favorite from TUF 6 and he has been doing great in the UFC?

Ganjo was just beat in a title match a couple of months ago. He is still training hard waiting for the next call. To get into Dream he needs to hold a Dream belt or a Shooto belt.

I haven't yet visited Sakuraba's gym but plan to in the near future.

Thanks for the response Enson. I did see his title fight at the Shooto 20th Anniversary show with Nakakura and thought it was VERY close. Ganjo's hands and footwork are always really good. He deserves a rematch at the very least for the Shooto title, and I think if you get him into the smaller gloves Dream uses, he could do very well with his punching power and combinations.

Thanks again for your time..

Enson just saw you in Redbelt, thought it was a good movie, even though the ending kind of sucked for me. I think that is the most realistic MMA movie out there today though

Good to see an actual fighter like yourself speaking it like it is when it comes to fighting and weed.

No disrespect to Enson, but asking a fighter whether weed numbs your pain is like asking George Bush who is going to win the Superbowl next year. They are not experts in the field, and just because they have a big name doesn't mean their answers hold anymore value than someone else's.

Thank you Dr. Moron. Now can you please tell me where in any of my posts did I ask Enson if weed "numbs your pain". Yes, nowhere. Awaits fearsome reply.

I don't think Craftsman and any fan on the forums ask me questions because I'm an expert, but I think they just want my opinion. I've been asked what I thought of a movie, how I overcome heartbreak, how to drop weight, the best way to caalm a drunk friend down....and I am by far in no way a expert in any of these topics.
Also just for the record. I was never asked if weed numbs you pain.

Thanks Enson, btw, I really appreciate you coming to Sherdog to even talk to us. I'm sure many others appreciate it too especially since you are pretty much the only one that comes on regularly anymore. I remember back in the day when guys like Josh Barnett, Tito, Renzo, Ricco Rodriguez and others came on here to actually post in "Ask the Fighters". But many idiots messed that up for the rest of us when they started talking crap about fighters. Who wants to come post on a forum that talks shit on them??

I especially remember a specific case when a couple of year 2001 posters talked down on Barnett and accused him of working a fight during his fight with Jimmy Ambriz in Japan. They HAD ZERO PROOF, yet they constantly talked a lot of crap.

Your sarcasm on the Sherdog expert doctors obviously shows that you don't trust the Sherdogger nearly as much. And in a case like this, anybody's guess is good as anyone else's.

There is really no need to get rude about it, I simply pointed out that your so called sherdog expert doctors' opinions may be just as good as anyone else's.
