via Sherdog:

1 Hidetada Irie d. Minoru Kato TKO (Punches) 2 4:21
2 Maximo Blanco d. Seigo Inoue KO (Stomps) 1 0:38
3 Mu Bae Choi d. Dave Herman TKO (Punches) 2 2:22

5 Antonio Silva d. Yoshihiro Nakao TKO (Knee Injury) 1 1:42
6 Muhammed Lawal d.  Yukiya Naito TKO (Punches) 1 3:54
7 Sanae Kikuta d. Hidehiko Yoshida Decision (Split) 3 5:00
8 Jorge Santiago d. Kazuo Misaki Technical Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) 5 3:26
9 Satoru Kitaoka d. Takanori Gomi Submission (Achilles Lock) 1 1:41

Couple of upsets there. Gomi has been on a downward slide for a while, but its still shocking to see him lose two in a row. It also hurts the promotion to have three of their biggest stars lose in one night: Gomi, Misaki, and Yoshida.

Jorge Santiago has made a strong case that he’s a top 10 middleweight.

I wouldn’t say that this loss derails Dave “Pee Wee” Herman’s career, but I would say this is a roadbump. Maybe he’ll start training more seriously now.

Is anyone that pumped about a Kitaoka vs Mitsuoka rematch?
