bushidoman Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width=520"> <tr> <td>Kafu Bunya faces Tsubasa Sakuro at DRAGON 101 <img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c98/chris_kotw/BCF/KafuBunya.jpg" width=150height=150 style="float: right;" border="0" vspace=5 hspace=5> Osaka -- The full card has been finalized for the DRAGON Fighting Championships next event, DRAGON.101 which takes place on Saturday May 19th, 2012 from the Matsue Sports Park in Hiroshima. Headlining the show will be a Welterweight battle between Kafu Bunya (25-10) and 2008 Judo Olympain Tsubasa Sakuro (6-2). Kafu Bunya is a two-time ALPHA-1 Welterweight champion winning the title in 1999 and then again in 2003. In 2009, Bunya made the move to OLYMPUS FS where he’s fought to a record of 3-2. Despite being over 40, Bunya is still a dangerous striker who is well known for his defensive skills. The Lion of Oita, Tsubasa Sakuro was a high level judo player who didn’t enter the sport of MMA until the age of 32. After losing his debut in DRAGON back in May 2011, he returned with back-to-back to wins with the most recent coming over Tarcisio Dantas at Way of the Dragon this past February. In the co-main event, Featherweight Shoin Chiba (19-6) meets Snorri Gunnarsson (30-8-1). Shoin Chiba is a submission artist who fights out of the Snake Temple camp and is ranked in the top 10. He’s one of the longest reigning DRAGON Featherweight champions in history holding the title between September 2006 to July 2008 and making four successful title defenses over that period. Chiba has lost only once in his past five outings. Iceland native Snorri Gunnarsson is a longtime Featherweight veteran and one the best to come out of Europe. He’s a former SIGMA champion who’s on a five fight winning streak. Gunnarsson is a master strategist who like’s to punish from the clinch and has an effective ground and pound. Also on the card, IMPACT MMA’s Karl Foster (10-1) will be looking for his fifth straight win when he takes on one of Drunken Monkey Dojo top fighters Jonathan Chen (10-1). Lightweight Nariakira Yoshikawa (11-6) will face Eikichi Shichirobei (8-5) and newcomers Scott Lewis (3-0) and Lorens Olsen (4-1) will meet. 2004 Chinese Olympic Freestyle Wrestler and former FLB Middleweight champ Li Bingci (5-4) takes on Brazilian kickboxer Lucimar do Bonfiml (8-10) and Shumei Shinozaki (6-11) will take on Ennosuke Nozaki (2-2) in the opener. </tr> </table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest .SVA Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wow, I am really impressed. Visually pleasing and very easy to read, you don't get lost and you know what is going on. Really interested to see where you take this INSPIRE re-brand, especially if it ties in with DRAGON. Am I right to assume that this is a game you played from all the way back in 1998 and up to now and just decided to do a diary out of it? Because that is some true dedication, man. Also, rooting for Kafu Bunya, he is my main man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, rooting for Kafu Bunya, he is my main man. Thanks for the kind words, appreciate the feedback. I didn't start running DRAGON until the mid 2000s, and decided to make a diary starting from 2012. My goal is get things up to date and run the promotion in real time. The INSPIRE re-brand will hopefully be interesting, although I don't think there will be any direct tie-in with DRAGON (but President Higashikuni does own a large part of INSPIRE's parent company). INSPIRE MMA is going to run as it own brand and will focus on a single Openweight division. We should get some more details on this new promotion soon (and I will likely setup a thread just for INSPIRE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Sanchez Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The amount of time it must take to do all of this is insane. Aesthetically it's probably the best presented diary I've ever seen. I especially like the pre-event posters. They remind me of the old K-1 style, where they didn't look particularly glossy, but I'd love to have a blown up one on my wall. With regards to content, you've got this weird dichotomy going on where it's a very niche market in terms of if it was a real life product, yet I think it's of interest to anyone who's played WMMA 3 for any considerable time. My only criticism would come from your additional information at the beginning. Obviously you've got nearly 15 years of game time to catch up on and I'd like to have known the state of play around the world and what happened to some of the major players. That said, you're clearly putting a ton of effort in and if that's going to burn you out, I wouldn't bother with a backstory. And I'll save someone else asking it. What happened to Hassan Fezzik?

Kafu Bunya looked as though he was going to win the fight when he locked in an armbar midway through the final round. But Tsubasa Sakuro fought valiantly and somehow was able to pop his arm free escaping the hold. With the time limit expiring, the fight went to the judges and in a close decision two of the three judges awarded the match to Sakuro. In a post-fight interview, Tsubasa Sakuro said that he’d been told he’ll be in line for an upcoming Welterweight title fight. Kafu Bunya told the press after his fight that he was disappointed with the judges decision but plans to return to DRAGON to make one final run at the title. In the co-main event, Featherweight Shoin Chiba (20-6) beat Iceland’s Snorri Gunnarsson (30-9-1) by Guillotine at the 2:52 mark of the second round. In the round one, Gunnarsson dominated Chiba keeping him pinned against the ropes and scoring with stinging strikes. In the second round, Gunnarsson stopped a takedown attempt wrestling Chiba to the floor. From the half guard, Gunnarsson tried to stand up but Chiba applied the guillotine from the bottom of the half guard. With the choke fully applied Gunnarsson was forced to tap out. With the victory, Shoin Chiba moves to the top of DRAGON’s Featherweight division as Snorri Gunnarsson suffers his first loss in six outings. <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/28i2k54.jpg" width=191 height=165 style="float: left;" border="0" vspace=5 hspace=5> In other action, Malaysian kickboxer Jonathan Chen (11-1) squeezed out a split decision over American Karl Foster (10-2) in a close fight.

In July of 1996, Japanese video game company NATURO took ownership and shortly thereafter, Meiji Nishimura was appointed the organizations President. The company flourished packing area's throughout Japan as the sport reached mainstream acceptance around the turn of the millennium. It's with no surprise then that the top 5 events are those, of the mighty ALPHA-1. #5 - ALPHA-1 Cabral vs. Regueiro II Hakodate Dome, Saturday Week 1, March 2008 Attendance: 33,271 The event has headlined by the second meeting between these two Lightweights as reigning champion and 2007 Fighter of the Year Manoel Cabral looked to defend his title against the 1999 Fighter of the Year Julio Regueiro. In their previous meeting in February 2007, the Brazilian Manoel Cabral had beaten Regueiro using an armbar in the third round. However, this time around the Spaniard Julio Regueiro who would get his revenge and win the title scoring a guillotine submission just over the minute mark in the fifth round. But the fight that stole the show was the co-main event that saw Canadian Heavyweight Nate MacReary win over English kickboxer Rav Kapur by a first round TKO. #4 - ALPHA-1 Fujii vs. Bintley Nagano Stadium, Saturday Week 2, August 2009 Attendance: 33,632 One of the most popular MMA fighters in the world, Kanezane Fujii was set to make his second Heavyweight title defense, facing Englishman Ozzy Bintley. Bintley had shot to the top of the sport in 2005 after winning the ALPHA-1 Heavyweight title by handing the legendary Hassan Fezzik his only career loss. But Bintley’s attempt to regain the title was foiled as it was Kanezane Fujii who would come out on top winning by guillotine submission in the fourth round. #3 - ALPHA-1 Bintley vs. Honma II Basho Arts Complex, Saturday Week 2, March 2006 Attendance: 34,726 After Ozzy Bintley’s historic victory over Hassan Fezzik to win the Heavyweight title in February 2005, he went on to defeat Nate MacReary four months later that July. His third defense would came against Japanese Sumo star Jutaro Honma in March 2006. In a long hard fought battle Honma would come out the winner after scoring an arm triangle midway through the fifth round. Also on the card was Hassan Fezzik’s retirement match, as the Hall of Famer defeated Howard Pursglove with a first round armbar to finish his career with an amazing record of 33-1. #2 - ALPHA-1 Satinho vs. Kapur Iwate Dome, Saturday Week 3, June 2010 Attendance: 35,510 It was the most recent of events in the top 5, and for the first time over 35,000 fans were in attendance at an MMA show. Brazilian House of Pain fighter Murilo Satinho had defeated Kanezane Fujii in December 2009 to win the Heavyweight title. In March 2010 he would successfully defend the belt against Jutaro Honma stopping him in the third round via TKO. Just three months later, Satinho would put the title on the line again, this time facing Rav Kapur. But the Brazilian couldn’t hold on and Rav Kapur would win his first Heavyweight title beating Satinho by way of a Kimura in the third round. #1 - ALPHA-1 Huang vs. Abe III Fukui Dome, Saturday Week 3, November 2005 Attendance: 36,250 He was perhaps the greatest jiu-jitsu competitor who ever lived. Thailand’s Jonathan Huang was a legend across Asia, and his third meeting with Jakuchu Abe had the largest live attendance in the history of MMA. In their first meeting in February of 2002, Abe defeated Huang with a triangle choke to win the Middleweight title and hand Huang his first career loss. The two would meet again in September 2004 when this time it was Huang who bettered Abe with a rear naked choke to win the title in another great fight. Jonathan Huang would go on to successfully defend the title three more times before the two crossed paths again in a rubber match. Midway through the third round, Huang would lock in the guillotine to defeat Abe and regain the title in an event that would go down in the annals of MMA history. </tr> </table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushidoman Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width=520"> <tr> <td>Malaysian Submission Expert Chan Kim Huat Retains LW Crown at DRAGON 102 <img src="http://i46.tinypic.com/vxisyr.gif" width=150 height=150 style="float: left;" border="0" vspace=5 hspace=5>Shikoku JAPAN—DRAGON Fighting Championships returned on June 23rd, 2012 with over 10,000 fans in attendance at the Takamatsu Prefectural Gymnasium in Shikoku Japan to see Malaysian Chan Kim Huat (23-6) make his first successful defense of the Lightweight championship against Fujimaro Hidaka (18-11). After a first round controlled by Huat, they entered the second when Hidaka countered a left jab and scored a vicious head kick that landed on the temple of Huat crumpling to the ground in a daze! Hidaka moved in for a armbar, but Huat stacked up and worked to gain side control. Huat then attempted a kimura, which was defended by Hidaka. Huat quickly turned to lock in an armbar which forced Hidaka to tap at 2:53. It's the third win a row for the freestyle submissionist who continues to establish himself as one of the best Lightweight fighters in the world today. In the co-main event, Shigekazu Shiroyama (7-1) won his sixth straight match dropping Russian Oral Jankowski (14-2) with a knockout kick early in the third round. After splitting the first two round, Shiroyama landed a perfectly placed high kick knocking Jankowski out cold. Shigekazu Shiroyama may be win or two away from earning a title shot, but he's on the right trajectory. With the loss Jankowski, breaks his seven fight winning streak. <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/28i2k54.jpg" width=191 height=165 style="float: right;" border="0" vspace=5 hspace=5> In other action, former DRAGON Lightweight champ Ahmed Mohamed Faraq (18-5) rebounded nicely after recently losing the title to spoil the debut of former WVTC Bantamweight champ Natsuhiko Mishima (12-3). Former RATP Lightweight champ Gordon Patterson (11-2) made some noise in his DRAGON debut beating 2008 Rise of the Year winner and current BCF Lightweight champion Atsumori Sugawara (10-4). Welterweight Duncan Thistlewood (19-11) defeated Kuma Ichigawa (10-9) with a late first round armbar in the Fight of the Night and undefeated German Featherweight Guthrie Schmidt (7-0) handed Swiss Jiu-Jitsu national champion Franz Zinsli (5-1) his first pro loss. In the opening bouts, wrestler Kanezane Toshusai (5-1) beat striker Ryutaro Miura (5-2) by unanimous decision and South Korean Yong Hang (6-0) won his sixth straight bout defeating former Japanese Taekwondo champ Toru Yamane (1-0). Up next is DRAGON.102, which will take place on Saturday July 20th, 2012 from the Osaka Athletic Gymnasium. Headlining the event will be Welterweight champ Chad Zoff (20-9) defending the title against Kazuya Endo (11-3). There was also an announcement that in August, the promotion is planning another TV special, Way of the Dragon II. Details would be made available at a later date. </tr> </table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
