DREAM 11: Aoki Makes History



The main event crowned the Featherweight Grand Prix champion between Bibiano Fernandes and Hiroyuki Takaya. Takaya landed a punch before Fernandes took him down and tried for an armbar. Back on their feet, Takaya threw a nice combination and missed. Fernandes threw his own strikes and took Takaya down. Fernandes stood up and took his back while standing. After a minute of inaction, the ref broke them up and restarted them in the middle of the ring. Each threw big punches and kicks although I think only the kicks actually landed. Takaya landed some nice punches late in the round that cut Fernandes above his right eye. The crowd was going crazy for their countryman. Takaya fought a brilliant first round, staying off the mat and forcing Fernandes to throw strikes. By this point, Takaya fought twenty-five minutes total with the second round yet to start.

Ferandes landed a big punch that rocked Takaya. Fernandes once again took his back while standing as Takaya calmly walked to the corner (just as he did in the opening round). The referee broke them up and restarted them in the center of the ring. Bombs were sent from every direction from both men. The final minute saw both men throw and receive bombs and continue standing. The final ten seconds saw both men swing as if their lives were on the line. This is a fight you definitely should go out of your way to check out.

DREAM fights are scored on the basis of who won the fight, not individual rounds. Hiroyuki Takaya deserved to win the fight. The decision was split with the deciding judge ruling for Bibiano Fernandes.



Wow, that sucks for Takaya, but you cannot cry foul here. Fernandes landed some good strikes in the second round. With that said, Takaya came off like a superstar fighter in defeat. He went 30-minutes in real-time fighting and never slowed down.


Warriors~!


Joachim Hansen is back. After a year-plus long layoff from fighting, he returned to DREAM to defend his lightweight championship. Shinya Aoki once defeated him by submission and in the rematch, Hansen won by TKO. This was the rubber fight and Aoki was the betting favorite. Hansen landed a hook, then Aoki took him down less than a minute into the fight. Later in the round, Hansen caught him with an upkick and the referee jumped in and paused the fight. Aoki was getting his eye checked out in the corner. The reason the fight was paused was because of an accidental groin kick prior to the upkick. Prior to the upkick, it was three-minutes of Aoki grappling with Hansen while the champion tried to land some strikes from the bottom. Aoki received five minutes to rest and heal either his groin or eye, whichever hurt worse.




Hansen landed several strikes from the bottom as Aoki tried grappling for a better position. Hansen hooked on an armbar as Aoki tried to kick his way out and he did. They were tangled up to the pint, Hansen drove downward elbows to Aoki's hamstring. I've never seen a reverse body triangle before. Back to their feet, Hansen landed a couple big strikes. Aoki wants to go back to the ground and takes Hansen down with a double leg. Hansen hit an upkick as Aoki tries to move into side control. The round definitely should have went to Joachim Hansen who tried to do more damage, throwing tons of strikes and going for more submissions.



The BEST lightweight not named Penn...?

Round two saw Aoki take Hansen down again and not much else until the referee stood them up with under three minutes left. Hansen landed a leg kick, then Aoki took him down again. After a restart, Aoki was placed in side control in the middle of the ring. Aoki quickly moved into the mount with under two minutes left. Aoki applied a guillotine choke until Hansen shoved him off and sat up. Hansen's arm was nearly caught for an armbar with forty seconds left. Holy crap, Hansen rolled trying to get out of it and instead, Aoki pulled it off like a textbook. Hansen was forced to tap out.

What an ending.

Shinya Aoki did next to nothing besides take Hansen down and try to pass his guard for all of 15-minutes. Finally he did and ended the fight. If Hansen doesn't roll out at the end, he probably would have won the decision.

Aoki is the first Japanese DREAM champion, earning his first DREAM lightweight championship. He apologized for what he thought was a boring fight and finished by proclaiming, "It's not UFC, it's DREAM" (translated into English).



YES! Sakuraba did not take any punishment!


The world's most famous and historically important Japanese MMA fighter, Kazushi Sakuraba returned to the ring yesterday. As a matter of fact, news of his involvement came as late as over the past weekend. He fought rookie MMA fighter and former American pro boxer, Rubin Williams. Sakurab's entrance was awesome, wearing an evangelion mask, he broke through virtual glass to a loud ovation from the crowd. Sakuraba's legs were "bandaged like an Egyptian mummy," according to the play-by-play man. Sad, but true. Sakuraba landed some vicious leg kicks early on. Sakuraba took him down with a single leg, moved to side control and landed some strikes. Rubin Williams is a rookie. Sakuraba slapped Williams' back before applying the kimura for the tap out victory. Kazushi Sakuraba is victorious in this easy match-up. Rubin Williams did not do a damn thing, not one punch.


In lightweight action, Tatsuya Kawajiri defeated Melchor Manibusan by TKO in the first round. Kawajiri took him down early and transitioned to the mount, finishing the fight with his ground and pound. Kawajiri proceeded to challenger whomever the lightweight champion would be for the show on New Years Eve. Kawajiri has never fought Shinya Aoki but he has a win over Joachim Hansen although it was a DQ win for a groin kick (in 2006).


The Featherweight Grand Prix continued off of the major upset months back when American Joe Warren won a decision over Kid Yamamoto. In the first semi-final, Hiroyuki Takaya defeated Hideo Tokoro by TKO in the second round. Takaya landed more strikes in the first round and he dazed Tokoro with a right hand. Tokoro put up a fight at the end of the round with a jumping knee and a right followed by a left. Takaya, not wanting to drop, clinched as Tokoro pulled guard. Takaya unleashed his ground and pound at the end of the round until the bell stopped. Round two was all about Takaya landing a few right hands until the ref stopped it.

In an anticipated fight, former amateur wrestler Joe Warren stepped into the ring for his third MMA fight, against Bibiano Fernandes. Warren and Fernandes worked from the clinch early on until Warren got a takedown. Fernandes quickly got back up. Warren shot in again and took Fernandes down. Warren was about to throw some strikes but Fernandes pulled an armbar and had it locked in as the ref stopped the fight. There was some controversy as it was not clear whether Warren tapped or not. Warren was pissed off and Fernandes did not take kindly to that and flipped him off. Later in the show, Guy Mezger (on commentary) said the referee told him Warren did in fact tap.

In a Grand Prix reserve fight (in case of injury), Kazuyuki Miyata defeated DJ.taiki Hatais by unanimous decision.


The EPIC Super Hulk tournament continued during yesterday's DREAM 11 show with two fights. Minowama (Ikuhisa Minowa) took care of Bob Sapp months back and did the same to the former giant, Hong Man Choi. Round one was spent mostly with Minowa trying to take Hong Man Choi down, and getting hit with punches and other strikes in the process. When round two began, Minowa swept him and took his back. Hong Man Choi was able to move to his guard but that didn't stop Minowa from applying a heel hook for the win as Hong Man Choi tapped out.

The second Super Hulk semi-final was fought between Sokoudjou and Bob Sapp. Sapp was an injury replacement for Gegard Mousasi (who was the favorite to win the whole shebang). Hey, it's a Bob Sapp fight in 2009, how do you expect it went? Sapp tried for a quick knockout, failed and was taken down. From side control, Sokoudjou ended the fight with his ground and pound.

Now at a later date (not DREAM 12), Sokoudjou will fight Minowa to determine the SUPER HULK tournament winner. Finally, that should be a good fight. Sokoudjou obviously has the power but you can never count out the submission skills of Minowa.

WEC 43 Preview


Kicking off WEC 43's television broadcast will be featherweights Rafael Assuncao and Yves Jabouin. Assuncao, a BJJ wizard is 14-1 with his only loss occurring against Jeff Curran in 2006. He made his WEC debut in April in a decision victory over Jameel Massouh. Jabouin, a Montreal based fighter, will make his WEC debut here after fighting the majority of his career in Canada for Ultimate Generation Combat. Jabouin brings a 14-4 record into the fight and the only 'name' on his record is a TKO loss to Sam Stout back in 2004. Eleven of his fourteen victories are by knockout so the power is not in low supply when we talk about him. A classic match-up of a striker and a grappler will be on display here. The safe pick would have to be with Assuncao, the veteran Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu artist who can end a fight just as quickly with a submission. For Jabouin, this a big step up in competition as Assuncao is considered one of the top featherweights in the world.


GSP is Impressed by Yves Jabouin's Speed!

Next up is a bantamweight contest comprised of two fighters who, combined, have managed to go to only one decision in 21 total fights. That's finishing skills if I ever saw it. Page, even at 27-years old, is no stranger to WEC. This will be his fourth fight with the company and bringing a total record of 11-4 into the cage, he's the veteran. He's part of Greg Jackson's training camp out of Albuquerque and while he's a natural wrestler, he has extraordinary power in his hands. He last fought in March and knocked out Marcos Galvao in under twenty seconds. His only loss since 2007 came against Brian Bowles, no shame in that. Will Campuzano is subbing for Akitoshi Tamura who had to pull out due to an injury. Campuzano is making his WEC debut and bringing in a 6-0 record into the fight. Much like the opener, Campuzano will be taking a bit step up in competition but that doesn't mean he will be in over his head. He has finishing power and the ability to finish with strikes or a submission.


The theme does not escape us as we continue down the line to lightweight action. Richard Crunkilton, a veteran of WEC and the sport will take on WEC newcomer, Dave Jensen. Crunkilton is 16-2 and started fighting in the old WEC in 2002. Since 2006, he is 4-1 in WEC with the lone defeat coming against then-champion Razor Rob McCullough. Crunkilton has the ability to win in any fashion, he has nearly just as many submission victories as he does knockout victories. Jensen is a Team Quest fighter and brings an undefeated 13-0 record into his first WEC fight. He has spent most of 2009 fighting for M-1 Challenge racking up three wins and he is 4-0 total in 2009 going into this fight. He's a busy man no doubt about it. He likes to win by submission (seven of his thirteen wins by sub) and specifically the guillotine and rear naked chokes. On the surface, if you're going to pick a WEC newcomer, this would be the fight to do it in. The winner, should they look impressive, may be in line for a title shot after the whole deal with Jamie Varner is sorted out.



Ignore the old date/location, here's Shaq hyping the main event


The main event of WEC 43 will decide the interim WEC lightweight champion with the intention to unify the belt with Jamie Varner's strap once the latter is healthy. Cowboy Don Cerrone returns for his third fight this year and the dislike for Varner is still boiling. Cerrone's only career defeat came in the split (technical) decision loss to Varner in January after an accidental knee to Varner while he was on the mat. Cerrone is one of the better lightweights you may not hear about because of the amount of quality fighters in the UFC and overseas. Cerrone is an accomplished Muay Thai fighter and kickboxer, yet he has won nine of his ten victories by submission. He trains with Greg Jackson's New Mexico group so he usually improves fight-to-fight training with such professionals as Rashad Evans, Georges St. Pierre, Nate Marquardt, and many others. Cerrone stands at 5'11 which won't be a terrible advantage as Ben Henderson stands at 5'9. Henderson is a viable contender with a 10-1 record and two consecutive wins in WEC. His lone career defeat came in his second professional fight in 2006. Since then he has gone 8-0. Henderson is a solid wrestler with power in his hands. The problem for him will be Cerrone is safe in any position in the cage. If Henderson takes him down, Cerrone will only be looking for a submission. On their feet, Cerrone's mix of Muay Thai/kickboxing is difficult to absorb while looking for a knockout blow.

JUGGERNAUT NEWS BRIEFS

- Mark Coleman will not compete at UFC 106 next month due to an MCL tear sustained during training. He was scheduled to fight Tito Ortiz and has requested it to be delayed until UFC 108. No word yet from the UFC on a possible replacement opponent for Ortiz.

- The ratings for last week's (third) episode of The Ultimate Fighter, season ten, drew the biggest rating in the series' history. The episode drew 5.3 million viewers and a TV rating of 3.7, peaking at 6.1 million viewers. It broke the previous all-time record, held by the previous week's episode which had 4.1 million viewers and a 2.9 rating. The episode drew a sensational 5.4 rating (3.1 million viewers) among men aged 18 to 49. The Kimbo Slice/Roy Nelson fight is now the most watched MMA fight on Spike TV ever, beating out the UFC 75 fight between Quinton Rampage Jackson and Dan Henderson which topped out at 5.9 million viewers. In addition to the 5.3 million viewers of the first hour, the replay immediately after the initial airing brought in another 1.5 million viewers meaning the combined audience for the two hours totaled 6.8 million.

The episode ranks as the highest rated of an original series in the history of Spike TV.



- Kimbo Slice has returned to the American Top Team gym in Miami, Florida and has signed a contract to train with the famous camp for the "foreseeable future" according to MMAWeekly. In his time there so far, coaches and fellow fighters have been helping him learn more about the ground game. With fighters such as Thiago Alves and Mike Brown around, Slice will have no lack of quality help. Slice is expected to fight in December on either the TUF 10 Finale or UFC 107.


- Maximum Fighting Championships held a show this past weekend including several former UFC fighters. Travis Lutter defeated Jason MacDonald in the main event by unanimous decision. John Alessio knocked out Luigi Fioravanti, Mike Nickels submitted David Heath, Ryan Jimmo defeated Marvin Eastman by split decision and Pete Spratt knocked out Nathan Gunn.


- Herb Dean spoke to MMAWeekly in a brief interview regarding the fight (taped months ago) between Roy Nelson and Kimbo Slice and the "controversy" surrounding the stoppage. Dean responded to Nelson's beef that the fight should have been stopped at the end of the first round by saying the blows were not damaging and in combination with the waning clock, it made no sense to stop the fight. In other words, Kimbo was never in any physical danger at that point. However, once the same position was gained by Nelson (the crucifix) early in the second and Kimbo showed no signs of getting out of it, Dean did not want to let Kimbo take the same punches for over four minutes, so he stopped the fight. For what it's worth, the Nevada State Athletic Commission had no issue with Dean's handling of the fight.


- Dana White confirmed in an interview that he intends to book a pseudo-tournament in their middleweight division. Vitor Belfort will fight Anderson Silva for the belt at UFC 108 and Dan Henderson will fight Nate Marquardt with the two winners meeting later in 2010. Whether that is official or not, those are the plans.


- White also spoke about the Fedor/Rogers match-up and said he is pulling for Fedor to win. White considers Brett Rogers a dangerous opponent but insists he wants Emelianenko in the UFC and to fight Brock Lesnar.


- UWC 7: Redemption took place over the weekend in the nation's capital. In the main event, defending UWC bantamweight champion Mike Easton defeated Chase Beebe by split decision (49-46, 48-47, 49-46) to retain the belt. Beebe will compete later this month on the DREAM 12 show in Japan. In the co-main event, Pat Runez became the first UWC flyweight (125 lbs) champion by defeating John Dodson by split decision. According to reports, Beebe controlled the majority of the fight with takedowns and back control but Easton did some damage with strikes while standing. Easton remains one of the top young American bantamweight prospects.


- Fabricio Werdum will fight on the main card of the November 7th Strikeforce show on CBS featuring Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers in the main event slot. Werdum's opponent is not official as of yet but one possibility may be Bobby Lashley who is negotiating to join Strikeforce.


- November will be a busy month for Strikeforce who have recently confirmed a third event for next month. November 6th (Friday) will showcase Strikeforce Challengers on Showtime with a main event featuring Billy Evangelista and Jorge Gurgel. The next day will be the big CBS show and November 20th will be another Strikeforce Challengers special. Although no fights are official yet, it's expected the Kim Couture/Kerry Vera fight will happen then.


- Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira may return to the octagon at UFC 107 in December to fight Gabriel Gonzaga.


- In another head scratcher, Strikeforce heavyweight champion (how long that remains, who knows) Alistair Overeem is expected to fight Sam Hoger (of TUF infamy) on October 17th in Amsterdam, according to MMAWeekly. Overeem is also scheduled to compete at DREAM 12 in Osaka, Japan on October 25th. All the while, Strikeforce top official Scott Coker continues to not be able to book his champion.


- Paul Daley and Mike Swick are in the midst of a verbal feud. Apparently, Swick has been knocking Daley over his fight record and having a big head. Meanwhile, Daley says Swick is jealous (that he was able to fight and defeat Martin Kampmann) and boasts that Dan Hardy will beat Swick at UFC 105 next month. The direct quote is, "Dan (Hardy) is going to get rid of Swick in Manchester next month. You won't hear too much about him after UFC 105."


- Urijah Faber has signed a brand new multi-year, multi-fight contract with WEC, meaning he is not heading to the UFC anytime soon. WEC GM Reed Harris has stated the immediate plans are not for a rematch with featherweight champion Mike Brown (or Jose Aldo, who fights Brown next month). Faber is expected to fight before the end of the year. He suffered a broken hand in his last fight, a unanimous decision loss to Brown.


- Scott Smith has signed a brand new six-fight contract with Strikeforce and is expected to fight in December. Smith was part of the EXC contingent that signed with Strikeforce after the former company went out of business. Smith is 2-1 in Strikeforce with knockout wins over Terry Martin and Benji Radach and a submission defeat against Nick Diaz.


- Gina Carano will be among the cover models for the new ESPN The Magazine to hit newsstands this week. In the special 'BODIES' edition, Carano appears topless. Randy Couture also appears in the magazine, perhaps topless as well.

ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEK
ELITE-XC'S INFAMOUS CBS DEBACLE

The officially final EXC event was held on October 10th and titled 'ShoXC 9,' but the infamous show that helped bring it all down was held one year ago this week on October 4th, 2008. EXC: Heat was held in Sunrise, Florida at the BankAtlantic Center and let's go down memory lane.

The anticipation of the CBS show was all about the main event, Ken Shamrock (who promised to break Kimbo's leg) was going to fight Kimbo Slice. Granted, Ken had lost to Pat Berry in March 2008 and was on a multi-fight losing streak, but he was still Ken Shamrock. Hours before the show went live on television, Shamrock was on the receiving end of an accidental head butt from one of his training partners warming up backstage and the impact reopened a cut on his head. Shamrock did not super glue the cut closed, instead going to a local medical center to receive several sutures. Once the commission doctors were able to check Shamrock, they ruled him unable to compete. While the undercard as going on, EXC was desperately trying to negotiate with Kimbo Slice's camp to get them to agree to fight Seth Petruzelli (who was set to fight Aaron Rosa and coming from a year off). Even Frank Shamrock volunteered to fight Kimbo, and the commission was contacted on his behalf but it never went further (Shamrock was on medical suspension from a broken arm from the Cung Le fight in March).

After negotiations with Kimbo's camp (some said it was more like Kimbo's camp holding the EXC officials over a barrel because either they got what they wanted or there was no main event for television). Once everyone agreed to the fight, Kimbo Slice was given $500,000 as a flat fee for agreeing to fight Seth Petruzelli, without adding any extra bonuses.

When the live CBS show began, Gus Johnson told the home audience the scheduled main event was scrapped because of Shamrock's injury. They interviewed Shamrock who tried to pass the buck to the commission for not allowing him to fight despite the fresh cut. Meanwhile, Frank Shamrock blamed Ken for being irresponsible in getting cut, clearly trying to keep the lines open for a future fight (that still, has never taken place).

EXC: Heat

Benji Radach def. Ninja Rua via KO in round two.

Gina Carano def. Kelly Kobold via unanimous decision.

Andrei Arlovski def. Roy Nelson via KO in round two.

Welterweight Champion Jake Shields retained against Paul Daley via submission in round two.

Seth Petruzelli def. Kimbo Slice via KO in round one.


The show was the final time Jake Shields has fought as champion and the final time Andrei Arlovski has won a fight. The Arlovski/Nelson fight was one sent by Affliction (when they were promoting fights) as they were in-between PPVs. Their fight was controversial, and Roy Nelson still holds a grudge against the officials in Florida. Despite maintaining side control, Nelson was yelled at by the ref to do something. Despite working for submissions, the ref stood them up and the first round ended with not much happening on the feet. In round two, Arlovski knocked out Roy Nelson with an assortment of kicks, knees and punches.

Jake Shields may have taken some punishment from Paul Daley, the striker specialist. However, Daley could not prevent takedowns throughout the fight. Shields got him down in the second round and submitted him with a painful looking armbar.

In the main event, the fight lasted a total of eleven seconds. Kimbo charged at Petruzelli who backed up against the cage. Petruzelli lifted one foot and threw a jab that knocked Kimbo down and Seth finished him with his ground and pound. Referee Yves Lavigne called an end to the fight at that point as the place went nuts, specifically play-by-play man Gus Johnson.





To those with some semblance of knowledge about MMA, the result was not a shock. In retrospect, specifically from Kimbo's (then) trainer Bas Rutten, a match-up with Petruzelli was as bad as they could have had on that night. The same can be said for EXC as a promotion because of what Petruzelli did days later.

Two days after his win, appearing on a local radio show, Petruzelli said he was paid by the EXC promoters to stand and trade and to not take the fight to the ground. "It was worth my while to try and stand up to punch him," is what Petruzelli said. The uproar afterwards even included UFC President Dana White cutting a scathing promo on EXC for being horrible and trying to mess with the sport that he helped build. EXC officials have always denied they tried to fix the fight and a local investigation from the Florida authorities found no wrongdoing.

The Ultimate Fighter Review and Preview


Roy Nelson has not won a fight since May 2008 and although the preliminary TUF fights do no count (they are considered exhibitions), he is back on the winning side having defeated Kimbo Slice. For Slice, Nelson was the first opponent he's fought to have an extensive Jiu-Jitsu skill set. The fight went much like any of us could think, they started out throwing strikes until Nelson decided to take the fight to the ground. From there, Nelson had his way with Kimbo. Any logical person could have seen that coming.


Earlier in the show, while at the house scenes were shown of both men talking to their respective teammates. Kimbo was chilling with Marcus Jones while Nelson was talking about the upcoming fight with a group of teammates. Nelson mentioned his affinity for the crucifix hold because he could freely strike his opponent and force the ref to stop the fight. Foreshadowing for beginners?!

At first glance, it appeared as if Kimbo was calmly waiting for his opening. Nelson was hitting jab after jab while Kimbo responded with a leg kick. After exchanging shots, they clinched and Kimbo wanted to avoid the ground at all costs. Nelson used his leverage to take the fight to the ground and ended up in the mount position. He transitioned to side control and worked to move Kimbo into the crucifix position. For the final 15-to-20 seconds of the round, Nelson was peppering him with shots that would make Nick Diaz proud. Referee Herb Dean was about to stop the fight but he kept telling Kimbo to move/fight back until the clock ran out. Like most, I expected the fight to end before the end of the round. Did Dean give Kimbo more time because he is a name? Perhaps, but like Dana White said afterwards, the shots were not bombs by any means so it was not as if Kimbo was getting clocked.

At the start of round two, Kimbo was getting the better of the striking game until he threw a knee which Nelson caught and took him down. Nelson ended up back in side control and worked Kimbo into the crucifix position again, this time throwing more shots. Kimbo could not defend himself forcing Herb Dean to stop the fight about two minutes in.



Dana White's reaction to Roy Nelson was priceless. He was ticked off because Nelson's attitude post-fight was that of a superstar when he barely beat Kimbo. In White's view, Nelson's punches lacked power and he did just enough to win. Ouch! Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the entire point of TUF was to win the pseudo-tournament to get the contract. Nelson took him down and finished him. It's not like he used the lay and pray technique and stalled out a win after fifteen minutes of boredom.

At the end of the day, we learned nothing new after this fight. Roy Nelson is great on the ground and Kimbo Slice is great at throwing punches. Nelson is average to above average standing and Kimbo is bad on the ground. Everyone has been saying it since Kimbo started his MMA career, the man is a beast when he's throwing strikes but once he's taken to the ground, it's usually going to spell the end. Until he hooks up with a damn good Jiu-Jitsu coach and studies for an extensive period of time, he will not go far in the sport.



As for the next episode, the teaser pulled every trick in the book to make it seem Kimbo Slice would be active next week as an injury substitute. Marcus Jones has a health scare in the house and they may need a sub. I figure these first four shows happened within the span of a week if not two weeks. Of the three fighters to have fought already on Team Rampage, Abe Wagner is likely out of commission with that sick cut and who knows how Wes Shivers is doing after that battle two weeks ago. Why they wouldn't just sub another fighter in who has yet to fight, I'm not sure.

JUGGERNAUT VIDEO OF THE WEEK
