HEIWA DREAM.3 Lightweight GP 2008 2nd Round
Date: May 11th, 2008
Place: Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan

Lightweight GP 2nd Round:
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Luis Buscape
Joachim Hansen vs. Eddie Alvarez
Mitsuhiro Ishida vs. Caol Uno
Katsuhiko Nagata vs. (Shinya Aoki)

Fights:
Nick Diaz vs. Katsuya Inoue
Jung Bukyung vs. Daisuke Nakamura
Jason Miller vs. Katsuyori Shibata
Melvin Manhoef vs. Kim Dae Won
Hiroyuki Takaya vs. Takeshi Yamazaki

WTF Takaya out of WEC after 1 fight?!?!?! I wanted to see Manhoef KO a Gracie but it looks like they are giving him a nice smooth tailor made KO ala HERO*s.

Thanks for the info, Rumbin.

I haven't seen much of Manhoef (other than youtube stuff) but I was wondering who he'd be fighting.

Question...how come all the DREAM posts are being put under K1 Fighting & Kickboxing area?

Dream is owned and operated by FEG/K-1.

I'm waiting for guile to make the changes in the titles of the forums. Hopefully should happen in the next couple of days to better differentiate the forums.

OK...makes sense...should've posted the Mayhem/DREAM 3 thread over here then.

Just a heads up, the card is live tonight at 3 A.M. EST on HDnet. I can't wait, I am so pumped for Alvarez/Hansen.

man, Alvarez/Hellboy was a WAR! The sweep by Hellboy in the 2nd was the weirdest thing I've ever seen (kind of like an "airplane ride").

I would imagine they do Aoki/Uno and Kawajiri/Alvarez if Aoki wins, they badly want Kawa and Aoki in the finals and that would be a hugely marketable fight for Japan. Plus you get Aoki/Uno out of the way.

If Alvarez wins this thing is will have the hardest path to any tournament win EVER

The way Kawajiri was eyeing Uno after his win leads me to believe that's the matchup.

I'm pulling for Alvarez to win this...and rooting against Cryoki.

Ofcourse Kawa was pissed, him and Ishida are close to brother like in there relationship, but I still think they want to have Aoki/Kawajiri in the finals.

Maybe Nagata will shock da world and ruin everything

Uno fought a smart fight - where was the bowing down. What happened to the whole honor thing? Very cool that Uno didn't let Ishida get his decision win that he's so accustomed to.

Who do you want to win it all, Rumbin?

Rumbin · 05-12-2008, 12:18 PM

I wanted JZ to win, followed by Dida, or Hansen, but since 2 of them have fallen at the hands of the local boy, and JZ couldnt figure out the rubber guard, I will be pulling for Mr Alvarez, if you cant beat em join em!

Shpongled · 05-12-2008, 12:49 PM

I love that Hansen came out to Angel of Death by Slayer. So awesome!! I've been waiting for someone to use that as entrance music forever.

So far the FOTY in my opinion. That was a cool sweep and Alvarez getting out of those subs in the 2nd pluis all the banging back and forth made this a must see.
