DREAM 17 is the next event on July 16th at ariake colleseum (i forgot to mention the date)

as for sundays event (im calling it DREAM F4J ), no i havent seen it yet, it was not aired live at all. Its only available in Japan on PPV on wed 1st June, and HDnet on fri 3rd June.
There hasnt been any videos taken from the audience as far as i know.

I just read the play by play on sherdog seems like some there was some really awesome fights in the GP.


* u think Izumi will be any kind of test for Mousasi?> I'd have preferred to see Ishii vs Mousasi if he didnt retire, but he is a bit big for 205 anyways.
Izumi is coming off a dominant TKO over Minowaman, and he is freakishly strong. Maybe its the clothes but in this photo he actually looks like a rhino

not sure if trimming the JMO listsis a good idea. I thought its really just a list of those fighters who could make it into the top 15 with a good win...and if you limit it to 5 you might forget about some guys.

Gunna trim it to 5 to make it easier to keep track of, the high guys outside the top 20 it just takes a second to see where they stand on fightmatrix. I'll keep track of the others and the can replace guys on the JMO list, the JMO lists get outdated too easily the way im doing it now.

I though the last event was DREAM 17, thanks for that ill get it updated.

Mousasi should make short work of Izumi, he is so sloppy on the feet and as good as his Judo is I dont think he can controll Mousasi the way Mo did.

Imanari to win the Bw GP for sure, cant wait for that.

Really hope Takaya wins, Strange Freire vs Crusher, wasnt he fighting Aoki? Weird UFC cut him in the 1st place.
-------------------

Cant wait to see the last Dream, Where did you read the fight reports? I want to see how they had the Hellboy fight.

Brad Tavares in for Mayhem against Aaron Simpson at UFC 132.

i think that's a good fight. Tavares is tough.

Hioki just relinquished his Shooto belt. Probably UFC bound.

One tune-up fight and then a title shot hopefully.

Story will be VERY close to title contention if he beats Nate. Don't see it happening though, although it really depends on how Nate handles the cut, he was a massive MW.

Great poster! Really looking forward to this event. Still can't decide who I want to win between Hendo and Fedor though.

I think OSP and Feijao is a great fight too!

Yeah,i'm looking forward to the OSP - Feijao Fight aswell.

205 needs new blood in the UFC and SF fighters are going to be making their way to the UFC soon, OSP vs Feijao and Gracie vs Mo are two seriously important fights the winners are both top going to be near the top 10, I cant wait to see who comes out on top.

Im thinking Gracie is going to upset Mo and tao him. I think after a long layoff and Surgery Mo's cardio might not be the best and I could see him trying to controll Gracie like he did Mousasi and get himself Triangled.

Feijao vs OSP I can see OSP trying to grind out a 15min decision on the ground but Feijao will land a few bombs and put him to sleep I reckon.

------------

Im sorta leaning to seeing Fedor winning the Hendo fight now. Fedor would be the man to beat Bones at 205 not Hendo, He is getting 1.5 mil, if he wins I think UFC try to sign him to a deal at and push for him to fight at 205. Rampage vs Fedor to settle the next contender would make sence.

I can't see Gracie beating King Mo, I see no way in which Gracie is able to get down a NCAA Division 1 Wrestler, and unless King Mo is stupid and takes him down, it then becomes a stand up fight which King Mo obviously has the advantage. It is a real shame because I like Roger Gracie, I think this fight has come far to early for him, stupid matchmaking in my opinion.

I love Feijao. I was few that picked him over Hendo, i really thought he was going to win.





Guys a beast. Feijao-Shogun or Feijao-Rampage would be awesome.

If King Mo hadn't torn his ACL and gassed trying to fight through it, he'd have beaten Feijao IMO. And I think he'd have beaten Hendo because his wrestling is so strong.

I'm just really curious to see what happens when either of them lands an overhand right. Against anyone else it's lights out, but these are two of the best chins in history. And normally you never think about either of them getting KO'd but these are two of the hardest hitters in history.

Gracie will have a big size advantage on Mo. Randleman was NCAA champ, Prangley was 2x all american and S.A. national champ, Waterman also wrestled and is 280 lbs.
