Kawajiri dropping to featherweight and Bibiano at BW? This could be interesting.

Yeah, this is an interesting start to the new Dream. I wonder how much longer they will be under FEG ownership. This looks like some good match-ups to be sure.

It really speaks to the state of Japanese mma when an event with some of its biggest stars goes down and people on an mma board dont even care. Ive only been able to find a video from one of the fights so far, and big shocker here, Aoki subbed Razor Rob without much resistance. I read that Kawajiri finished Hansen as well, cant wait to see that one either.

Sakuraba looked terrible again. Didn't manage to put anything together at all, got taken down with ease, dominated on the feet and didn't once threaten with a takedown. I'm a massive Sakuraba fan, as I'm sure most people are, but the dude really needs to call it a day, it's just sad watching him compete right now.

Kawajiri looked awesome at 145, dominated Hansen, reckon he could be a force at 145, he's just so strong for that weightclass!

Inoue's head kick KO of Uno was pretty sweet, straight out of the Cro Cop book of head kicks. Kitaoka looked decent as well; Friere disappointed me, and didn't show anything until the final round, but Kitaoka did well. Then the Bantamweight GP was sweet, Bibi Fernandes looked awesome, and should take the win in the GP. Nice to see Imanari pick up a submission as well, Bibi vs Imanari II would be awesome.

PLEASE quit Saku. Before the Japanese start calling you Ken Shamrock.

If you won't quit, at least fight Ken Shamrock.

I wish dana would hire him for the UFC Japan front office.

If it came live on my tv I would stay up all night to watch it. Staying up to watch shitty streams is not of interest to me anymore. Should have been a great card though and I will be looking for video's. BW are always entertaining and they sounded good when I looked up the results. Really shocked about Crusher though. I didn't expect that the whole 145 things was gonna work out very well.
