The OFFICIAL discussion thread has arrived, my children. 

This should be a good one, chalk-full of intriguing and semi freak-show attractions. In short, it's everything a major Japan show should be. 

Prelims are set to kick off at 1230am ET Saturday morning. 

Who's staying up -- or getting up -- with me?

This thread is dedicated to hdmexiqtioner, who's day of birthing was recently celebrated!

I had some misguided faith on Amir.  Thought maybe Sexyama at 39 and having not fought in 2 years would have lost a step.

Sexyama calling out a now retired wand doesn't intruige me as the first time they were matched up, but I'd still enjoy that fight.

I've got decision as well. I thought hunt/Silva was gonna finish in the first, but that went the distance. So you might be right.
