1/4 Sengoku - Mitsuoka vs. Golyaev Announced
Monday 15 December 2008
Golyaev beat Sengoku star Gomi in the last Sengoku event. It was a contorversial decision, made even more so when you see it in the perspective that Gomi now has a title fight against Kitaoka. But Golyaev gets a fight on the Sengoku January 4 card as well, he will face Japanese star Eiji Mitsuoka.
It should be a very good fight! Mitsuoka lost in the Sengoku GP to Kitaoka, but beat Rodrigo Damm to reach the semi-final in that GP. Maybe the winner of this fight will be the first title defense for the new champion? We will see, this is shaping up to be a very good event!
Also made official were the plans of holding a featherweight tournament next year. Plans are for a 16 tournament with 1st round in March, second round will be in May and finals in July.

Eiji Mitsuoka 14-6-2 vs. 12-6-0 Sergey Golyaev

I can't wait for the tournament. They are always exciting and the lighter weights seem to always bring their A game.
Agree, tournaments provide good entertainment and create new stars. Good way to get a champion.
Will be interesting to compare the DREAM Tournamnet vs. the Sengoku one too!
