I think Badr Hari will get to the final against Bonjasky and win.

[Drunken Cat]

With daylight savings time, Japan is 17 hours ahead of PST. So, 5pm in Japan will be 12am PST in the US, 3am Eastern. At least that should be right.

[MJ406]

well Japan's def a day ahead of the US.

as right now I type this it's 5:07 PM where im at

and in Yokohama it's Friday the 5th at 7:08 in the morning

[Drunken Cat]

12.6.08 5:00pm in Japan = 12.6.08 12am PST in the US.

Technically it is the same day because it starts at midnight here/evening there (It's 17 hours difference, hence not a full day).

[YUHHHHHHH!]

well Japan's def a day ahead of the US.

Yeah it says so in Tokyo Drift.

I think Badr Hari will get to the final against Bonjasky and win.

I agree with that final but Bonjasky would beat him.

Does anyone know what channel it is on in the UK or Ireland

[MJ406]

Nevermind.

it's on at 3 AM tom for us.

see ya'll then

[ScottDBA]

Aerts by decision
Teixiera by decision
Kareav by decision
LeBanner by KO

Aerts and LeBanner meet in the finals and Aerts wins his fourth title.

I look forward to the world GP finals each year, but I've been so tired this week I completely forgot it was tonight. I was planning on going to sleep, but now I have to stay up all night watching the stream.

[MJ406]
