I think that event is normally a pro wrestling thing. I keep reading online that this is in fact under MMA rules, and the other guy has never fought MMA before. ***

Yeah, you're right. It's a mix though. Ishii vs Sylvia is suppose to be on this card ,as well as Minowaman and Ray Sefo, if I remember correctly. Cro cop probably just wants a win or two on his record before retiring from mma for good. I'll never say no to a highlight LHK from Mirko so I have no problem with him fighting a debuting sumo wrestler.
