If you’re one of the lucky few who still gets HDNet — go fuck yourself, Time Waner Cable! — why don’t you go ahead and set your DVR for the live broadcast of Sengoku 10, which goes down late tonight at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT. Though there isn’t much star power on the card, the show will feature Antonio Silva, Nick Thompson, Dan Hornbuckle, and a headlining bout between two fighters making their MMA debuts: Olympic Judoka Hiroshi Izumi and New Zealand kickboxing champion Antz Nansen. The lineup is below (props to BloodyElbow):
LHW: Hiroshi Izumi (debut) vs. Antz Nansen (debut)
HW: Antonio Silva (12-1) vs. "Big" Jim York (11-2)
WW: Makoto Takimoto (5-5) vs. Jae Sun Lee (2-3)
LW: Kazunori Yokota (9-2-3) vs. Ryan Schultz (20-11-1)
LHW: Ryo Kawamura (10-4-2) vs. Fabio Silva (11-5)

MW: Joe Doerksen (42-12) vs. Takenori Sato (9-6-4)

Speaking of Bigfoot Silva, the American Top Team heavyweight standout says that he’s been weighing offers from multiple American MMA organizations since his steroid suspension in California came to an end on July 27th. Said Silva: "Right now, I can’t say which ones, but real soon, everyone will know." He still wants to fight Josh Barnett later this year in Japan.

Well... C-Level card but it's MMA, isn't? Hope Pezão keeps the good streak to face Barnett at NYE event.

Dan Hornbuckle (18-2) is awesome and should be in the UFC or atleast in the TUF house. I used to watch him doing in Hammond, IN. Very explosive and aggressive fighter.

yeah that head kick he pulled on gono was sick I wanna see him n the goat, and Antonio Silva could be a legitimate threat to fedor down the road plus I wanna see this judo guy got the DVR set for sure!

Silva: A Yumbo Yack combo and two tacos. Does that complete jour order?

Here's an idea. How's about CP writes a blog entry the following morning with all the embedded videos (from some sketchy Czech video hosting website that loads even slower than CagePotato's website). Thompson vs Hornbuckle get's top-billing in my opinion.

Hey, Nick. Have you seen my hat anywhere? The one with the big feather... goes really nice with the cane with the $ sign on it? Oh, you lost yours too. Shame, it would have gone nice with that.

Thanks CP. Now i got "Puttin' On The Ritz" stuck in my head. "If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits... Puttin' on the Ritz "

MMA fans need their own television broadcast platform ... we could pay the Pride lady to stand atop a mountain and scream Japanese play by play across the land.
