Last time I saw Daisuke Nakamura fight Shaolin almost ripped his arm off with a kimura! The first MMA event Id ever been to!
May have to put some points on Alvarez! His odds look good, although I have a hard time betting against Hansen! A close one to call!

They are all staying away from that fight, likely for that exact reason.

That's the one I'm looking forward to.
I like Alvarez too - just concerned about a phantom Hansen knee that he won't see.

Krav is playing Copy cat tonight, because I only know Alvarez and Uno and Nakamura.
And isnt Nakamura supposed to be fighting in a UFC in the next few cards? OR is that a different one.

Beware Jung. I'm pretty sure I haven't picked an even line fighter correctly since Chuck v. Wandy.
But....maybe I'm due

250k on Jung because if my FF frens go down I'm following. Better hope gygax was fixed. That dude has 2 pro fights vs Nakamura's 30+
edit:
Jung flopped
Definitely worth staying up until 8am to watch this live though

I like the format of Dream. Not too much like Pride, but similar. Kinda simple format, intro's, then fights. I like the refs and of Course bas and that other dude do a great job of commentation.
I like it.

Damn right it was.
Too bad Joachim lost, but the guy brings it every time.
I wouldn't mind seeing Hansen-Diaz some day.

Great fights by Miller and Diaz. I like the way Dream does things. I hope they have enough talent to keep good fights like this on a regular basis.
The Hansen fight was a great back and forth battle, but I wouldn't be calling it fight of the year just yet.

It is most definently the best fight that has happened in 2008, which features a ton of fun fights but nothing blowaway.
Also Melvin Manhoef FOUGHT WITH A TUBE IN HIS LUNG after having surgury from losing to Remy 2 weeks ago.

I thought the card overall was excellent. Between DREAM and EliteXC there is at least enough talent to compete with the UFC in that regard. I find it hilarious that the UFC has been promoting the BJ Penn/Sean Sherk fight as a bout between the best two lightweights in the world while this tournament has helped to show the UFC's weakness in one of its premier divisions. On that note, is it time to firmly affix Eddie Alvarez to everyone's top ten lists? I couldn't believe how close he came to knocking Hellboy out- twice. Very impressive.

I really enjoyed it. It was teh first Dream card I've seen, and I was not disappointed. I loved the Diaz fight. I mean I really wish he'd work on his defense though, Bas Rutten's Commentary durign the Diaz fight was dead on correct.
Eddie Alvarez/Hansen? nothing to say about that fight other than it was awesome.
Uno? Great fight as well
Great great fight night.

Forgot to add MELVIN almost killing that guy with a KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD was one of the most vicious things I have ever seen. Kim is lucky to be alive
