Four Bouts for Dynamite!! 2010 Announced

Gegard Mousasi returns to K-1 action at Dynamite!! via k-1.co.jp

Once again the mysterious nature of FEG has led to speculation swirling around as well as to the fights for Dynamite!! 2010. Today's press conference seemed like it was going to provide some much-needed answers and instead fell a little short in the announced fights. 

In a pleasant change of pace, there was a K-1 rules fight announced for Dynamite!! as K-1 Heavyweight Champion Kyotaro (Keijiro Maeda) will take on the current DREAM Light Heavyweight Champion, former DREAM Middleweight Champion as well as former Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, Gegard Mousasi. Mousasi steps into the ring for K-1 action for the first time since December 2008 where he fought the now-retired Musashi where he made short work of the K-1 mainstay. 

Kazuhisa Watanabe returns to MMA action against a tough test of Hideo Tokoro. Tokoro's career has been spotty to say the least, as has Watanabe's and both men are looking for a win. Watanabe's fast-paced, hard-hitting style is a perfect foil for Tokoro's grappling-heavy style and the fight should provide fireworks. Another fight added is Hayato "Mach" Sakurai against Jason High. The KC Bandit hasn't fought in DREAM since DREAM.10 where he made the finals of the Welterweight Grand Prix before suffering a KO loss to Marius Zaromskis. Sakurai hasn't had a win in over a year and a half and will have his hands full against the younger High.

The last fight announced was a long-rumored fight for Ikuhisa Minowa, known lovingly to his fans as Minowaman. Minowa will face off with Hiroshi Izumi, an Olympic Silver medalist in Judo from Athens 2004. Izumi steps out of the SRC ring for the first time to face Minowa and is coming off a rather "gifted" decision victory back in October, while Minowaman had a tough loss to Satoshi Ishii at DREAM.16 but rebounded at DEEP 50 with a submission victory over Chag Hee Kim.

Still no bout for Overeem, but a persisting rumor that it could very well be Strikforce fighter and former WWE professional wrestler Bobby Lashley.

Lashley vs. Reem could be fun.

I understand that it’s just a freak show fight but isn’t that what Dynamite!! is good for?
