Also, Boku isn't an easy fight for Hansen. Hansen recently lost in Shooto to Eiji Mitsuoka, whom Boku had beaten 2 months prior. Boku trains at KB with Kid Yamamoto, and will be a tough test for Hansen. With that said, I hope Hansen wins. I'm a fan of "Hellboy".
Yeah, true. I kinda forgot it was supposed to take place at Yarrenoka. Makes more sense the way you put it, it would totally suck if they didn't get to fight in one of the later rounds.

Making sure the fight happens does make sense, I just figured it would have been more exciting if it was the Semis or Finals even, oh well.

I wasn't complaining BTW, just curious.
