Hioki is in hospital after suffering a concussion, so he was replaced by Kanehara in the finals...rather upsetting really, Hioki is solid.
Also Gono was taken to hospital after getting knocked out and seems to have a concussion as well as a possible neck problem :( poor Gono
Otherwise though it sounds like a rather solid show all in all.
