Mirko Cro Cop and Wanderlei Silva have been announced for the tournament, both in separate fights.
Daron Cruickshank will face Andy ******' Souwer
Tokoro vs. Gracie, of course.
And Yamamoto is fighting Kizaemon Saiga, not Krazy Horse as rumored.
Color me ******* hyped.

Pure speculation, but if the way this seating is at the press conference is any indication, Wandy/Fujita & Cro Cop/Baruto may be first round match-ups, I'm not sure.
But when they just announced "a last minute addition" and Cro Cop came out to Wild Boys at this press conference, people lost their ****. This is awesome.

*if Cruickshank keeps it standing ( although it may be modified rules i.e ; 1 round MMA, 1 round K1, etc) , vs Souwer, it's going to be absolute bonkers !!

Fujita will be fighting Baruto on September 24 to determine who represents Japan in the tournament. Wanderlei Silva will be getting a BYE in the tournament, and goes straight to the quarter-finals.
On September 24, 10 fighters will be fighting in 5 fights, the winners of those 5 fights will move on to the quarter-finals. Cro Cop will be one of these 10 fighters.
They're talking about "potential candidates" for the tournament, and they bring up Jiri Prochazka, Karl Albrektsson, fighters from BAMMA, KSW, Bellator.

Mirko says he's confused how he got to Japan because he was playing Pokemon Go and somehow found Sakakibara this morning. This guy.
