Card is decent but the grappling takes away from it IMHO

How many concussions must Tokoro suffer before they get rid of him? Though if Darren is mainly a grappler it could be entertaining.

Looks like Kid was supposed to fight Imanari, but since he lost Kid is off the card.

If they can find a new opponent for KID before the end of next week he is still in. They will announce about KID's participation next week, the card is scheduled to have 9 fights.

Yup, I hear Darren is a bad ass on the ground. He trains out of Fight and Fitness of San Francisco.

I saw Darren perform at the last strikeforce for what it is worth, but I think Tokoro will be able to handle him.

The old adage about great wrasslers was that they could have a match with a broom and people would still want to see it. The same goes for TOKORO. He is entertaining, exciting and puts on a show. He can literally have a match with a broom and people would watch. And Depending on the results plus knowledge of his previous profession, soon he very well may have a few.

Indeed, picking up a gold at the FILA worlds is no mean feat. Tokoro's a great grappler too so this should be good.
