– Enson Inoue is set to fight in Japan

Against Antz Nansen on April 25th, in Tokyo. Enson is always a fan favorite, and is known for his Samurai-spirit. Win or lose, he comes to fight. Most fans can describe him as the guy who went toe to toe with Pride FC heavy hitter, Igor Vovchanchyn. After getting his face bashed in to a bloody pulp, Enson was furious at the doctors for stopping the fight. He also has a win over UFC superstar, Randy Couture.

Says the untested King Mo! I’m hoping for a good fight here, but King Mo hasn’t fought anybody considered as “top-contenders” yet.

I like Mousasi’s calm here. If anything, it was King Mo that looked a little jittery, see for yourself!

The highly anticipated match between the two TUF coaches is finally going to happen. The story was that Rampage left the UFC to do the A-Team (can you blame him?). The best part of the show, besides Kimbo, was the trash-talking between the two coaches. Rampage lost for the most part, and he definately lost as a coach.

A huge cut across his forehead required stitching, that can sideline the WEC’s top-contender for at least 2 months.
