Dan Miller is one tough nut to crack. Many have tried, but he has yet to be knocked out or submitted in his professional fighting career. 13-5 with all his losses coming by unanimous decision, Miller always brings the fight. This wrestling powerhouse has the ability to control where the fight takes place and the striking and jiu-jitsu skills to finish his opponents. Miller will have to be exceptionally careful if he decides to take this fight to the ground as his opponent, Rousimar Palhares, is a submission master. Dan Miller is as rugged and durable as they come and looks to come out victorious at UFC 134. Hayabusa is proud that Dan Miller chooses to wear Hayabusa and we wish him success in his upcoming bout.
When Spencer Fisher enters the Octagon, you know there will be a spectacular fight. Win or lose, “The King” always gives fight fans an amazing performance. Fisher is known for his fast, accurate hands and his willingness to engage with anyone in the lightweight division. Spencer embodies the expression “Three round war” and this was shown in his bouts with Sam Stout (twice), Jeremy Stephens, Denis Siver and Ross Pearson. This veteran of over 30 fights looks to take the fight to his next opponent, Thiago Tavares. Fisher will be wearing the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts, which will help him to avoid submissions while unleashing his striking arsenal against Tavares.

A jiu-jitsu black belt, two-time National Freestyle Wrestling Champion of Bulgaria and has multiple 1st place finishes in international tournaments Nedkov is a prospect worth watching. With career wins over Kevin Randleman and Travis Wiuff, Stanislav has already fought some tough competition. This new entry in the 205 lb division will look to make an immediate impact. Hayabusa is excited to sponsor this amazing new talent and looks forward to watching a new star rise.
Hayabusa would like to wish sponsored fighters Ian Loveland and Yves Jaboin in their upcoming featherweight bout. Both are exciting, dynamic fighters and will look to showcase what the featherweight division is all about.
Yoshihiro Akiyama is about to redefine himself. Coming off back to back losses, Akiyama is ready to show people how he has changed and evolved. Yoshihiro understands that he has to adapt and change his style to match that of his opponents. Akiyama, knowing that he was too stuck in his old ways, has started working with Tsuyoshi Kohsaka and Yushin Okami to help him better develop his overall game. These two UFC vets have started to show him how to be a “UFC style” fighter and Akiyama says he will show his true strengths in the future. This Judo stand out will be up against some of the fastest hands in the business. Vitor Belfort is as explosive as they come, but Akiyama will be ready for anything. Akiyama is known for an amazing ground game, but also has great knock out power.

Rory MacDonald is considered by many to be the future of MMA. The future is here. Rory MacDonald proved to the world that he is a dominant force at 170 lbs. His loss to Carlos Condit, the only loss of his career, was a late third round stoppage that taught him a lot about himself and about the world of fighting. Rory rebounded from this loss with one of the most amazing performances of his career. His three round destruction of Nate Diaz was filled with cries of excitement as he repeatedly suplexed Diaz to the canvas and proceeded to put on a clinic. Rory, the third youngest fighter on the UFC roster, celebrated his 22 birthday just 2 weeks before the fight and a dominant win over Mike Pyle would be the “icing on the cake”. Rory MacDonald has unlimited potential and looks to take the next step in what many consider a most promising career. Rory will be one of the best dressed fighters at UFC 133 as he will be covered head to toe in Hayabusa. This new breed of warrior, trained exclusively in MMA, will be wearing the #1 Trusted Brand In MMA. The Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts are designed with the complete fighter in mind.

This loss embodies the phrase, “Never leave it in the hands ofthe judges!” Nam will have his hands full as he takes on former WEC Featherweight champion Mike Brown. This fight has the potential to amaze, as both fighters are strong, well rounded and durable. Phan will be fighting in the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts and will be prepared for anything. Hayabusa #1 Trusted Brand in MMA is proud to sponsor this up and coming featherweight warrior.
With well over 100 fights between them, neither Brian Ebersole nor Dennis Hallman can claim the experience advantage. These two fighters will engage in a welterweight showdown at UFC 133. Ebersole, a US native training out of Australia, is coming off a career defining win. His three round unanimous decision win over Chris Lytle was a great, hard fought victory. Ebersole, a powerful wrestler, has less fights than his opponent, but with over 50 fights to each fighter’s credit, neither can claim that advantage. Ebersole brings a more unorthodox style to the cage and he will have to keep his opponent, a submission wiz, on his toes the whole time. Tough, resilient and always ready to fight, Ebersole is the true definition of a mixed martial artist. This elite warrior is ready to take the next step in his career and will be fighting in the Hayabusa Pro Competition Shiai Fight Shorts. Hayabusa is proud to sponsor Brian Ebersole in his upcoming fight at UFC 133. Hayabusa #1 Trusted Brand in MMA.
