Thank you for your work. It's much appreciated!

WVR looks very interesting. They seem to want to make MMA into more of a respected sport, and less of a spectacle like PRIDE. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but I look forward to seeing the card.

Gomi vs. Ludwig is a very exciting fight. It's very hard to predict, but I think Gomi will take it.

Also, Kazuyuki Fujita signing with WVR is interesting as well. Although it's a shame the great Japanese (and foreign) MMA talent is being divided between WVR and the new group that's forming from FEG/Ex-DSE.

Thank you for your comment, Steve.
Yes I agree. I hope DREAM and WVR work together and make a big event, or they allow fighters fights in other events,,,
