8. MW Tournament: Kazushi Sakuraba Def. Andrews Nakahara by face-bar/neck-crank.

Fighters making their way to the ring now. Sakuraba is late, they show him driving in now.

Sakuraba, 3 of them are in the ring now.

Round 1:

Fight starts standing, I would think Sakuraba wants this on the ground pretty soon. Sakuraba grabs a leg. Nakahara tries to get away. FIghters scrambling for positions. Nakahara has Sakuraba to the robes, the ref breaks them. Sakuraba takes one to the family jewels just as he himself throws a high-kick. We will have a short break as Sakuraba tries to recover. They are fighting again. Sakuraba takes a high-kick, he needs to get this on the ground. Fighters are circling. A Nakahara low-kick seems to hurt Sakuraba, but he holds on to Nakahara now. Nakahara is pushing Sakuraba around along the ropes. The ref breaks them up and sakuraba gets the fight on the ground for the first time. Nakahara scrambles back up. Sakuraba gets another take down and is in Nakahara's guard now. Sakuraba goes for a leg lock, but Nakahara defends. Now Sakuraba get side control. Sakuraba is punishing Nakahara with punches, but Nakahara is defending well. Sakuraba gets the back now and Nakahara taps. Nakahara was out for a few seconds. Either a rear-naked choke or a type of neck-crank...

I will say Sakuraba by rear-naked

7. MW Tournament: Gegard Mousasi Def. Denis Kang by triangle choke Round 1.

In my book, this is the best fight on the card (except for Aoki vs. JZ). This will be a good battle!! Mousasi has entered the ring, now Denis Kang is coming in.

Round 1: This will be big and its on! Punches to start things off, then Kang takes it to the ground. Mousasi has half-guard now. Kang almost has mount, by Mousasi gets him back in half-guard. Kang working on a kimura from side control. Mousasi is trying knees, and manages to more his way out of the Kimura. Kang stands up and reaches in to punch. He gets caught in a triangel and taps. Mousasi takes his biggest scalp yet! BIG mistake by Kang though....

6. MW Tournament: Kiyoshi Tamura Def. Masakatsu Funaki by TKO Round 1

This fight is very big in Japan. Fighters being presented now.

Funaki entering the ring. Tamura coming in now.

Round 1: This will be a battle of the old gentlemen. Its on! Funaki circling. High-kick by Funaki. This is a standing battle until Tamura takes Funaki down and drops hammer-fists. Fight is over. Very fast and impressive by Tamura, but hard to say how good Funaki is...

5. MW Tournament: Ronaldo Jacare Def. Ian Murphy by Rear-Naked Choke

Fighters are making their way now, jacare looks very relaxed.

Round 1: Jacare tries a knee, the fight goes to the ground. Jacare has Murphys back, has his arm now, Murphy trying to defend. looks like its a matter of time. Jacare is dominating as its moving from one submission attempt to the next. Jacare punching from the back. Still the same position. Jacare is trying to turn. Rear -naked choke. The fight is over. VERY impressive by Jacare.

4. MW Tournament: Zelg "Benkei" Galesic Def. Magomed Sultanakhmadov by arm-bar Round 1 1:40

Ok, I need to find a nickname for Magomed Sultanakhmadov, so I will call him Mag.

Really looking forward to seeing what he can do against Galesic though.

Mag entering the ring now.

Galesic entering to Linkin Park.

Round 1: The Japanese commentators ar expecting this to finish in the first round. Mag is working a guilliotin, but Galesic gets out. Galesic in Mag's guard now. Galesic by arm-bar, working from mount, back to arm-bar that looked sick. Very impressive Round 1 1:40. Galesic is saying that his loss to to Yoon Dong Sik made him want to learn a better ground game, today he showed his new skills.

3. MW Tournament: Yoon Dong Sik Def. Shungo Oyama by decision 3-0

I am guessing a Dong-bar is this one...

Shungo Oyama entering the ring now.

Yoon Dong Sik coming in to "when dowes cry", if you dont know what I am talking about, you are too young...

Round 1: Feeling eachother out in the start of round 1, nothing happening. Dong in Oyama's guard. Oyama trying an arm-bar, but Dong gets out. Dong throws some punches to the body, but does not look like any damage is done. Oyama holding on to and arm, but no danger. Dong in side control now. Dong tries to get mount but he ends up in half-guard. Now he gets mount. Dong with punches from mount, but no real damage yet. Dong is holding on to the mount with a few punches. Oyama is trying to get out, but has been unable so far. Dong tries an arm-lock and that allowes Oyama to get out. Dong with guard now. Oyama is kicking Dong's thigh, the ref stands them up. No real action on the feet, both figthers carefully trying some punches and kicks. Clearly both these fighters looking for the takedown. Dong gets it, he is in Oyama's guard now. Oyama trying to get an arm, but Dong gets out and stands up as the round finishes. Close round, but slight advantage to Dong.

Round 2: Dong hits with a good punch and Oyama does a back-flip and ends up back on his feet. More entertainment than damage. It is back and forth on the ground and standing now. Dong has Oyama on the ground now. Dong is trying to dive in with a punch, Oyama defends and some how Dong ends up with Oyama's back. Oyama turns around and Dong has mount. A lot of bodypunches from mount 1:30 left. Does not seem to damage Oyama, but Dong still has mount. DOng moves the guard up and the punches to the head are more powerful now. Oyama turns around and is going for a leg-lock as the round ends. I think Dong will take the decision.

Yoon Dong Sik get the decision 3-0

Kin has done the most damage, but Minowa has the takedowns. 30 sec. remaining. First round is over. Very close round... couldnt say who won... BTW, DREAM judges the fight as a whole (if I remeber correct). First round is 10 min, second 5 min.

Round 2: Minowa is the more tired fighter. Minowa dives in. Minowa is back in Kin's guard. The ref stands them up again. Minowa eats a knee. Punching now, Minowa hurts Kin, then he dives back in.

JZ is stuck in and omopalata. He does well to escape. JZ trying his GNP now, but he goes into Aoki's guard again. The fight is over. This should go to Aoki, but will have to wait for a decision.

Decision Aoki 3-0

Aoki is emotional after his vicory, very understandable.

Мирко къде е бил.. защо го няма на карда :?

[neshev]

Мирко ще се бие на Dream 4. Отначало се смяташе, че Sergei Kharitanov ще му бъде опонент, после Jerome LeBanner, но още нищо не е сигурно.

MMAYOU.com has learned today that the fight between Cro Cop vs Le Banner that was reported by Cro Cop's site, http://www.mirko-crocop.com/ is yet to be official.

Below is an excerpt from an email from Alan Kermorva, Jerome Le Banner's manager.

Today's situation:

K1 offered a title fight vs Schilt at K1 Japan in June (K1 rules) and a fight vs CC at Dream in JULY (not June) under MMA rules.

JLB is interested by both fights.

We are in discussion/negotiation right now, so none of these two fights are signed nor officials. Maybe JLB will fight these 2 fights, maybe 1, maybe 0... It has to be determined by our negotiation.

Уви нищо не ми говорят тия имена :(

Koи са маскираните паляци? :)

Част от на Sakuraba entrance-a. Няма втори. Голям фен е на кеча и редовно използва маските на Vader и Animal при entrance-ите си . Бил е и кечист за UWFi и Kingdom Pro Wrestling, като се е надявал един ден да наследи Tiger Mask gimmick-a.
