Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye 2012 to air on FUJI TV

Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye 2012 is set to feature a mixture of pro wrestling, kickboxing and MMA bouts. So far confirmed for the show is a MMA clash between Olympic gold medalist Satoshi Ishii and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia and a pro-wrestling match between Naoya Ogawa and Kazyuki Fujita. Ray Sefo and Minowman have also been confirmed for event.

I'm not a fan of the pro wrestling stuff, but it's nice to see MMA return to FUJI TV. With this event, DREAM/GLORY NYE event, and UFC on Fuel TV 8 there will be a little breath in the Japanese MMA scene.

This is nice considering that there hasn't been an Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye card in years. I guess Inoki thought it was the right time to revive the tradition.
