FEG held it's second Dynamite Press Conference tonight. FEG president Tanigawa starts the press conference by walking out with Dream president Sasahara and WVR president Inamura. The first fight announced is Ray Sefo vs. Yosuke Nishijima. Nishjima is a popular former boxing champion in Japan. It will be a K-1 rules bout. Also in the press conference they announce Aoki has the flu. Sadly this could mean there could be no Aoki vs "Crusher" fight. "Kid" Yamamoto is making his return to MMA agaisnt Sengoku featherweight champion Masanori Kanehara. "Kid" is coming off an embarassing KO in K-1. Judo Olympic Silver Metalist Hiroshi Izumi is fighting for just the second time agaisnt pro-wrestler Katsuyori Shibata. Kazuyuki Fujita had a choice between Jerome Le Banner and Alistair Overeem. Fujita decided to dig his own grave and choose Overeem. Here is the rest of the fight card that was announced:

Now all the fights have not been announced so expect more announcements in the near future. Satoshi Ishii vs. Hidehiko Yoshida is still the main event, WVR's t.v. deal was dropped with this main event. This leads me to believe that a big name in Japan will be on the card. Fighters I am speculating are Gomi, Kawajiri, Sakuraba, Ishida, Kitaoka, Hirota. With an outside chance of Kang and Aoki to jump in. So far this is a soild NYE card. That being said it could be far better. There are MUCH more matches to be made. FEG stated that there will be 18 to 19 fights on this card. And only 14 have been announced.  I am upset about the Koshien Finals (K-1 High school) It doesn't need to be on this card. The Koshien finals are taking up card space from meaning-full MMA fights. If the Aoki vs. Kawajiri fight does not get made I will be extremely upset.
