He's 44-30-8 at just 34 years of age. Coming off 3 straight finishes to win the Super Hulk tournament despite being the smallest fighter included.
he's a huge fan favourite, in Japan and has a bit of a following over here. Technically (I guess) he's got a Super Hulk title to defend. So what's next? And remember, this is Minowaman, so f---ing anything goes.
Technically (I guess) he's got a Super Hulk title to defend. Gary Goodridge? The matchup that was supposed to happen with Mousasi? Hell, Shinya Aoki? What's Zuluzinho up to these days? Dan Severn's still fighting.

Whoever he fights, i'll watch. He's always entertaining
Probably the biggest fight would be Minowaman vs Fedor!
Even if Fedor might win easely, imagine how epic this fight would be in Japan

That's the crazy thing. With Minowaman the options are endless...
Checked the Dream website. Looks like he's fighting Jimmy Ambriz at 13.

Yup looks like it.
Should be a nice card with also Bibiano Fernandes vs Joachim Hansen, KJ Noons and Ryo Chonan
But there should be an option to see the DREAM site in English!! Google translation Japanese-English is still unreadable

Minowaman vs. Ambriz is ridiculous, and I love it.

Fedor will be the most logical fight for all mighty minowaman....
May be Dana could sign hims for a clash of titans, Brock vs Minowaman??? WHO WOULDNT PAY FOR THAT!!
Anyways, Minowa is the MAN!

Minowaman will defeat Jimmy Ambriz, then return to his normal job of defending the galaxy.

Now that Barnett is in DREAM and Fedor might be on his way to Japan,
they could aswell setup a new super HULK tournament
Semi finals:
Ambriz vs Minowaman
Barnett vs Fedor
I would love to see Minowaman dropkick Fedor in the finals, Fedor might die of laughter and lose the fight :mrgreen:

lol that's how the set up would be just to get minowa into the finals.
a better one would be
barnett/fedor
minowa/sylvia

Imanari always hits drop kicks and just falls to leglocks (which is what minowa does)
and Shamrock and Torres have both hit a somersault in a match.
