Is that the same Ian Freeman as posts here on our very own Mousel's Forum?

Dantas replacement will be Elvis Sinosic who of course is most well known for recently going the distance with Frank Shamrock in his return match to MMA in Japan.

Yes that is the same Freeman, note though he fights in the Pancrase card a short time before so it is possiable that he may end up with an injury forcing him out of the card. Hoffman is someone you want to be 100% physicaly ready for. A replacement is ready if in fact that does happen (Gan Mcgee?).

Could someone tell me who is Kauro Uno? I really dont know the guy, so could someone tell me in what he train, opponent he have face things like that and does he have a chance vs. Pulver?

uno

kaoru uno was the shooto champ. he left because he never got the credibility he should have. he trains at the wajutsu which is judo submissions and wrestling takedowns. he beat rumino sato (shooto's posterboy) twice. once by rear naked choke, and the second by knockout. he is awesome. he submitted din thomas who is a hell of a fighter himself.uno is an awesome fighter. he can punch, has good takedowns and can submit people. if this fight goes to the ground then uno may submit pulver.

Thanks Al

a1000 - In 10th Anniversary Shooto (May 29th, 1999) Uno beat Sato 3-0 by judges decision.

In any case, he's a fough MOFO!

What does wajutsu mean in Japanese? Is it a word or name?
