Opening-round bouts for PRIDE Bushido's first-ever welterweight (183-pound) Grand Prix, which takes place September 25 at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, were released Friday.

Ikuhisa Minowa (Pictures), Masanori Suda (Pictures), Ryo Chonan (Pictures) and Akihiro Gono (Pictures) represent their home country of Japan, while Americans Dan Henderson (Pictures) and Phil Baroni (Pictures), and Brazilians Murilo Bustamante (Pictures) and Daniel Acacio (Pictures) round out the "world" contingent. Ryuta Sakurai (Pictures) fights Paulo Filho (Pictures) for the right to be a reserve in the tournament's later rounds.

Minowa first fought Baroni in the American's PRIDE debut last May. The Japanese fighter did well before tiring and succumbing to Baroni's hard punches.

Former UFC 185-pound champion Bustamante meets Suda, whose last appearance in the ring saw him knocked out by Falaniko Vitale (Pictures).

Perhaps the best match-up of the opening round sees Chonan take on Henderson. The Japanese fighter is coming off a knockout loss to Baroni while Henderson, long considered one of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the world, is a surprise addition; his name was not on the list of possible GP participants released by DSE on August 4.

Pancrase's Gono returns to PRIDE for the first time since defeating Crosley Gracie at Bushido 7. He fights Chute Boxe's Daniel Acacio (Pictures).

Ikuhisa Minowa (Pictures) vs Phil Baroni (Pictures)
Dan Henderson (Pictures) vs Ryo Chonan (Pictures)
Daniel Acacio (Pictures) vs Akihiro Gono (Pictures)
Murilo Bustamante (Pictures) vs Masanori Suda (Pictures)

Reserve Match
Paulo Filho (Pictures) vs Ryuta Sakurai

Dat lijkt me toch een aardig toernooi!

1. Ikuhisa Minowa vs Phil Baroni
Ik zie eigenlijk niet in waarom deze partij anders zal verlopen dan de vorige partij.

2. Dan Henderson vs Ryo Chonan

3. Daniel Acacio vs Akihiro Gono: geen idee!

4. Murilo Bustamante vs Masanori Suda
Ik gok op Bustamante.
