Holy mother of ******* ****. 

Mirko Cro Cop and Wanderlei Silva have been announced for the tournament, both in separate fights. 

Daron Cruickshank will face Andy ******' Souwer 

Tokoro vs. Gracie, of course. 

And Yamamoto is fighting Kizaemon Saiga, not Krazy Horse as rumored. 

Color me ******* hyped.

@Pillory Yeah the lady fighting Gabi is actually taller than Gabi, I believe. She won a WAKO world championship last year, I think, and she is also training at the Blackzilians gym.

Especially someone her size or bigger (not muscle wise of course).Listed at 6'4".She says she's 6'5" 225 and I don't doubt it,she's tall!She doesn't look 225 though.I watched a little footage of TKD on her from 4 years ago,and she trains at Blackzillians.I think anyone's a better striker than Gabby,but does Gabby just try to stand with her like her 1st fight where she almost got ko'd?I remember getting all the Pride/UFC VHS' in the mail,I still love the freak fights :D

Gabi told that's not true, but I'll leave it as a rumored fight until RIZIN confirms her opponent.

Not sure why they wouldn't build both, but it looks like Rena is fighting Miyu Yamamoto (KID's sister).

Hasn't fought in 11 years and already had tons of miles on him when he retired. 70 pro MMA fights what's left for him to prove? Hopefully he doesn't need a paycheck that bad.

Yes, his last few fights in Pride he did not seem to have it. I have read it was due to injuries. He once won three 8 man tournaments in one month.
