Gregory gave me the heads up to start a thread solely based on JMMA. So here it is. I'll mainly be focusing on everything JMMA oriented, so I'll continuously post cards, updates, results, info and more. Results will have their own separate threads. Enjoy your JMMA!

So Sakakibara just started the hype machine for his new MMA promotion off with a bang by signing Fedor.  I wonder who he will sign next.

Sperry said in an interview recently that they tried to get Arona but he's currently getting knee surgery (aka banging beach babes and surfing). Hearing rumors that they have been in talks with a lot of guys that are unhappy with their current contracts, supposedly some big players too. Whether they get them or not is of course a different story. Coker has said repeatedly that he would lend him Bellator guys as well and seems to be keen on doing a shared fighter system like Strikeforce and DREAM had.

Idk how well a new Sakakibara promotion will go down but he at least has a good handle on entertainment.

@Live2Wrestle Very interesting.  I'm surprised Arona has been inactive from MMA for so long.  I would have figured he would have returned by now.

I would assume that Sakakibara would try and raid DEEP, ONE FC, and other various Japanese/Asia-based promotions for talent, no?

Also, I heard Kron Gracie is talking with Sakakibara.  Any truth to that?

Gabi Garcia is signed to NYE. Judging by her size, it will probably be a huge freak show!

I feel like we will be hearing a lot of interesting signings for Sakakibara's new organization all the way leading up to the New Years Eve Show.

I like that Fedor doesn't need a VIP pass.

With Fedor and Gabi Garcia under his roster, who do you guys think will make the jump over to Sakakibara's new organization?

I feel like either Aoki, Couture, or Kharitonov will be one of the next big signings for Sakakibara to announce.

Fingers crossed that it is Randy Couture.  I don't care that he is 52, Couture vs Emelianenko would still be an awesome fight to see; just for the mere fact that it has been talked up for so many years.  It would be great to finally see it happen.

Not sure if many JMMA fans have seen this card happening in 2 days. Not amazing but some decent fights that are worth throwing some picks down on imo.

According to Bloody Elbow, Sakakibara is dropping some hints on who he is looking for as Fedor's opponent for the NYE show in Japan; with the primary hint as being someone who will be one of the next big names for MMA's future (and will most likely the primary face for Sakakibara's organization once Fedor retires again).  Wonder who they will bring in?



Also, it would seem that Sakakibara is trying to invite a big name VIP to the event.  That VIP being none other than...





...Judo black belt and current Russian President Vladimir Putin.

I guarantee it, that if they invite Putin to the event, he'll be at least two hours late. The man is notorious for doing that. That is if he even goes.

Sakakibara needs to invite this guy:

@joking_joe  At least it's not as ****-erotic as this...




or this..





or even this...




...seriously for a well known political leader that is very anti-****sexual, Putin certainly takes a lot of ****-erotic propaganda photos.

He would probably love Hikaru Sato/Michael Nakazawa grappling sessions and Imanari triangling people in DEEP showers

Gabi says she will be debuting against a Chinese judoka, no name given though.



Also Ulka is dropping to Flyweight
