Sengoku NYE event canceled, Co-Promoting with FEG

Posted on November 12, 2009 in: MMA News

World Victory Road, the promoters behind Sengoku, have canceled the planned New Year’s Eve show in Japan. Though the Sengoku event is off, WVR is rumored to be co-promoting with Fighting & Entertainment Group (FEG) as part of their Dynamite!!2009 NYE event. The Sengoku cancelation eliminates two MMA events in Japan on New Year’s Eve, while the co-promotion allows WVR to still make some cash.

According to MMAFrenzy.com, FEG held a press conference earlier today, though executives denied they were in talks with WVR. At this point only speculations are in play; however, by co-promoting the two organizations can pull the best from their fighter pools and put on a spectacular show. Last year’s New Year’s Eve show produced ratings that were below what was anticipated.

As it stands, the Dynamite!!2009 card is:

DYNAMITE!! 2009: DECEMBER 31 IN JAPAN
venue: Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan

-Shinya Aoki (22-4; #2 Lightweight) vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri (25-5-2)

    That is an ill card, but those are all DREAM/FEG people so far. Once Sengoku decides where they’re putting their guys, shit will get crazy. I hope they make some relevant match-ups between the two orgs. I wanna see Dan Hornbuckle vs Mach Sakurai and Hatsu Hioki vs either Bibiano Fernandes or Kid Yamamoto. Kid is one bad motherfucker, I’m glad to see him back in action after some tough losses. Aoki vs Kawajiri should be a war too, two of the best Japanese fighters out there right now. I’ll be pulling for Kawajiri. Masato vs Andy Sowuer is a pretty decent K1 rules fight too.

    sawuer vs masato is a fight im looking forward to.bob sapp needs to fight in a k-1fight for this because he is too big to move on the floor.
