Can Dream avoid nightmare?

Dream took its name for the ability to put together dream matches featuring the stars of the defunct PRIDE group along with what was Japan's No. 2 MMA promotion in recent years, the K-1 sponsored Hero's group. But if anything, the tournament-style event showed the major weakness when it comes to determining a rightful champion, a tradition stemming from both the early days of MMA in the country as well as popular kickboxing events. For the Dream promotion, there had been a lot of bad news in the weeks leading up to the fight. The major MMA groups in Japan derive a large percentage of their money from network TV rights, but it's imperative they draw strong ratings in primetime to continue that level of backing.

Been looking in the mirror much? LMAO! Yeah, Hansen looks like a freak and his skills are pretty freaky as in scary. He got beat by Alvarez in an unbelievable fight but that's the way it goes.

I hope Dream is here to stay, they have already put together some nice matchups. It's much better to watch than K-1, which is full of older dudes although World Max is great.
