Way to turn in your man card,Neil.Can’t stay up late and watch fighting with the rest of the big boys? (grin)

I'm up
But as neat-o as it is, it’s not worth staying up until the sun rises. I get in this nasty rhythm of staying up that late, and then all of a sudden I’m sleeping from 5am to 2pm+, and that just ain’t good.

Watching Stephan Bonnar and Nate Marquardt argue over yellow card rules on HDNet is the only thing keeping me switching to hardcore pornography,and that ain’t sayin much.

What I hate is when I always get the realization right before the show is about to start that actual fighting won’t start until like 3:25.
Why does he insist on calling him JZ Calvan?It’s JZ Calcancante.Is it so difficult to say his whole last name?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they always call him that over there
Just like “Murilo Ninja”

Why must they talk this to death?Do they really think we care about what Trigg thinks about these fights?We’ll hear his break downs of each fighter during the walk outs.STFU and get to the fights already.Jesus.

15 minutes in,and we’re still talking.We don’t need a full breakdown of the card,for crying out loud.It’s insane.

Wow.O’Brien enters the fight with a yellow card and 10% purse reduction,right off the bat.

Did he not know the fight was at 205?What the hell is he doing showing up in Japan at 230 pounds?

I like that he has talked himself into thinking he is just as good of a wresler as Mo. And how he can do what Mo did to gegard

Do they not realize that people who stay up until 3 AM to watch this shit don’t need a 15 minute breakdown of the entire card?We kind of know what’s going on already.

They should have done the Ricco fight.That would have been mildly competitve,at least.

http://www.dailymotion.com/WheelchairBandit
Supposedly Gegard turned down the Ricco fight,which is why the O’Brien fight happened at a catchweight.You can draw your own conclusions on that one.

That was almost as funny as went Bisping tried to take down Henderson.

I don’t know who’s more metrosexual-DJ Taiki,Aoki,or Trigg.

For wearing schoolgirl dresses, crying like a bitch and just generally acting like a doughnut puncher.
┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐
I don’t think he’s metrosexual for wearing grappling pants,whatsoever.
It’s for many,many other things.Wearing a fedora,for one thing.

You realize that Japan has an entirely different culture than America, yes?
Guys in Japan aren’t worried about proving their masculinity at all times.

Ishida just now realizing he needed to drop a weight class kills me
When you fight at a weight where guys are 25 pounds bigger than you, things ain’t gone be that great
Ishida vs Bibiano would be a great fight.I’d have to favor Ishida in that fight slightly.

Ishida has pretty good sub defense,last I checked.Bibiano has way better standup though,that’s a given.

Ishida got submitted by a no hook RNC. Bibiano Fernandes is a world BJJ champ.
Do the math

Taiki should have done that in the first 30 seconds of the fight,might have saved us 15 minutes of boredom.

Ishida is at least active on top
Unlike a certain Jon Fitch

Omigawa vs random Tomato Can up next.Get hyped!

I've been watching too much wrestling...
I was thinking Omigawa should’ve went for a swinging neckbreaker there.
Omigawa wins by guillotine choke in the first round
Big shock,that one.

Wouldn’t suprise me,he took some big shots.Made a good showing for a guy who had essentially no chance.

It should be noted that Manhoef has been KO’ed in his last two fights……..not that it will have ANY baring on this fight,whatsoever.

If Mizuno KO’s Manhoef,Melvin needs to hang it up.
For good.

I was referencing that.KO’ed by Lawler,and then KO’ed on that card where Hari soccer kicked the dude.

One last run I guess.Wonder why he didn’t go to the WEC?I was under the impression that Dana and Joe Silva loved the man.

Because he’s not cutting it at 155 in the UFC,and do you honestly think he’s going to get paid anymore in Dream?Or get paid whatsoever?Half these guys aren’t even getting their checks from FEG.

Yes.
Uno is getting paid. He makes money from Nike in Japan. He does not have a Nike sponsorship in America. No one in America cares who he is; in Japan he’s a star.

Kikuno vs JZ up next.If this was the JZ of 2007,this would be an open and shut case-JZ would take him down and pound him into oblivion.Now?I have the feeling Kikuno is just going to pick him apart with kicks while JZ is trying to get rid of the ring rust.Dude has fought like three times in three years.That’s just sad.

I can tell right now...
This is one of those nights where I am not tired right now, I got over it, but when my head hits that pillow, it’s GOOD NIGHT IRENE!
As this fight starts...
We are three minutes from official sunrise here in beautiful Woodhaven, Michigan.
Hard round to score.Fairly even in all areas.

Aoki vs Crusher up next.This either going to be quick and brutal,or a long and drawn out game of butt scooting.Either way,expect Aoki to be standing in his corner crying afterwards.Just an awful,awful style matchup for him.

Is the show in it’s entirety worth a download? I only saw the last 2 fights.
"I don't care, hit him with your groin!"
Well, I reckon that'll be it for me...
Quick results are on the front page!
Thanks to everyone for participating tonight. I think this is without a doubt our biggest DREAM thread to date.
