This from FightOpinion.com:

Oh, what a circus the IGF 8-man title tournament is going to be in Japan this year. Not only will Josh Barnett participate as the promotion’s foreign ace, but the promotion’s new native ace Wakakirin will face Kimbo Slice. The date is February 5th at Fukuoka International Center. Bob Sapp didn’t want to face Wakakirin on NYE, but Kimbo will.

On the undercard, Tatsumi Fujinami celebrates his 40th anniversary as a wrestler by facing Mil Mascaras. Also on the card is Original Tiger Mask (Sayama), The Predator, and the debut of a new wrestler called Masked Genome against Hurricane Helms.

The news comes out of nowhere as “Kimbo”, real name Kevin Ferguson, hasn’t been seen or heard of since his release from the UFC last year following a humiliating defeat at the hands of fight-game novice, Matt Mitrione. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this one as we get it.
