Dream Event Producer - Keiichi Sasahara
Good morning. Thank you for attending yesterdays’ event, and for being here this morning.
We have lined up all the winners here today. I’d like to congratulate you all.
Yesterday was our first cage show and honestly, we were wondering how it would go.
Actually, it was a huge success, and the fans seemed happy. Hopefully the fighters feel the same way.
When looking at the Japanese fighters, they are all very damaged.
Tomoya and Sakuraba have damaged eyes, and Shibata has a damaged liver from last night. They clearly did their best.
From now we will start to prepare for the next event on New Years Eve and consider who will be fighting.
Yoshihiro Maeda
Good morning. It was my first time to fight in Japan in a cage.
It was spacious and not confining at all, so I felt no stress or pressure. Right now, I really want to fight on New Years Eve, so please give me a chance
Tomoya Miyashita
Good morning. I am glad I won my fight.
I know I am not really known, and I don’t think I left a good impression with last nights’ fight at all, so I want to do better next time.
Yoon Dok Sik
Last nights fight was disastrous and I want to forget about it. I promise I will train hard and do better next time.
Kuniyoshi Hironaka
The fight ended rather suddenly, so I cried with frustration as I didn’t feel like I had actually won the fight by myself.
I am happy now though. I was able to temporarily damage his eye enough to stop him, so I realized I did really win the fight.
Eddie Alvarez
Hello. The cage was quite different. I compare it to playing NFL on turf.
It was very professional. Unfortunately I got caught in an awkward position early in the fight, and I couldn’t perform or put on the sort of show that is in me. Today, my neck hurts, so I am going to go home, see a chiropractor and get it better; and come back and put on a better show.
Katsunori Shibata
Good morning. Yes, my liver is damaged from last night (laughs).
This is my first fight since changing gyms, and I am very happy that I was able to win, replay Mr. Ishizawa for his influence on me.
Alistair Overeem
It was a good fight in the cage. I liked the cage. It was big, wide and I like the color. I liked the fight because it was quick and I have no injuries, so I will be ready for the K-1 finals in December. I though there would be more striking, but a quick submission victory is also always welcome.
Marius Zaromskis
Good morning. I feel good. I am glad I won my fight. I can’t say a lot because the fight was short.
I was happy because it was near a castle, and I was like “wow” when we were arriving.
I liked the cage, but I know them from England and America. But they are always black, and this one was white.
A white cage and near a castle is good luck I felt. I am looking forward to my next fight.
Kazushi Sakuraba
Good morning. After the fight I realized just how good my fighter was. It was tough, but it was a great opportunity to fight him.
