Mixed martial arts may not be the hot trend anymore in Japan, but that hasn't stopped Japanese fight promotion DREAM to put together one of the best MMA events we've seen all year in the Land of the Rising Sun. Fight For Japan: Genki Desu Ka Omisoka 2011 will air live on HDNet at 1 AM ET on Saturday, December 31.
DREAM will bring fight fans nine hours of MMA programming with Genki Desu Ka!! -- a New Year's Eve extravaganza filled with MMA, kickboxing and pro wrestling. Coverage begins Sat. early morning at 1am ET.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia is back on the Dec. 31 fight card in Japan, but it won't be in an MMA match. So why is he facing off against a K-1 level kickboxer?
Strikeforce heavyweight grand prix semifinalist and part time pro wrestler Josh Barnett has been added to the FieLDS 'Genki Desu Ka!!' fight card for Dec. 31 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
Brett Rogers domestic abuse prison sentence will prevent him from obtaining a visa and traveling to fight Tim Sylvia under the DREAM banner as part of the FieLDS 'Genki Desu Ka!!' New Year's Eve event at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, on Dec. 31, 2011.
