StrikeForce 06/04/05. HP Pavilion in San Jose.
San Shou Rules : Cung Le vs. Brian Ebersole- Ebersole is 22-10 in mma, not sure about his kickboxing history. Trains out the American Kickboxing Academy ran by Bob Cook, Frank Shamrock, and Javier Mendez.
Muay Thai Rules : Josh "The Punk" Thomson vs. Toshiyuki Nakagawa. Thomson is the 3-time UFC vetern who also trains out of AKA, and is looking to get into K-1 MAX. Don't know anything really on Nakagawa, has lost on a K-1 Vegas undercard fight to that Tom Jones.
Rudi Ott is also the card.
Oh- Fight Poster, though pretty bland. www.cungle.com/cungle/images/sforce_jun05_poster.jpg
Another match will be ISKA World full contact champion 9172-pound limit) Bryan Schwartz vs. Peter Kaljevic.
Typo Sorry 172-pound limit
9172 lbs! talk about super heavy weights!!! LOL
But what is sad is, Kaljevic is like 154-160 but he'll agree to any fight
nakagawa is an alright fighter i think he fights under kru rex or at least he use to. seen him fight 4 times seen him win 0
10 fights scheduled. Another is Gary Owens (15-4 6 kos, was a California Golden Gloves champ) vs. Morong May (22-year old from Long Beach). Haven't seen the full line-up anywhere.
Some others that I hear are supposed to fight : Michael Mananquil, Rkarma Young, Chris Cariaso, Lynda Loyce. I don't know who their opponents are.
Toshiyuki Nakagawa fought Gary Owens in San Jose last year and looked terrible. He was still with Kru Rex for that fight. I haven't seen Thompson kickbox in 3-4 years. He's been doing a lot of MMA lately.
Kaljevic fought George Tsutsui on a Strikeforce show back in 2002 at welterweight. He's giving up a lot of size to Schwartz. Can't believe he's taking this fight. I think he's 42-43 years old also.
Peter is 40+, and yes, if you point in any direction and say there's a guy thatta way who wants to fight you, he's off running. Nice guy who just loves getting into the ring.

i think he fought at welterweight on a local n.y. show in '03 as well. i think
hes also done some pro boxing.
John Eccelsior and Rebecca De La Mont from Team Usa are suppose to be fighting too. they are both Bad Asses!!!
i hope michael mananquil fights too! he's the greatest!
