    Good card and there was a lot of nice submission wins Aoki , Minowa, Imanari, Bibiano, Kawajiri and cabral all getting sub wins.

    The Positives - Imanari still on course to win the tournament :D and as already stated a lot of nice submission wins, say what you want about Mr Aoki but he's a wizard on the ground, okay McCullough isn't a top mma guy and the muay thai champ isn't known for his ground game but it was always underrated and he had never previously been tapped.

    The Negatives - PLEASE RETIRE SAKU :( Lost last four fights and is just going to get worse for him. Fighters need to learn from Ken Shamrock.

    I would have liked to watch it but I couldnt find a link. Other than the tournament not many relevant fights though. I'm looking forward to the Hansen-Kawajiri video that seemed like a good fight.

    You're correct but it was a fun a card and anyone that approached it that way would of enjoyed it. Yeah Hansen-Kawajiri was a good fight and that rematch was a long time in the making after the farce that was their shooto welterweight title fight.

    Oh I agree, relevant doesn't mean enjoyable, I personally had more interest in this card than in last nights UFC, it's just a pity they can't get a higher standard of opponent for guys like Aoki.

    Nice to see Hurricane Harris get the win. Been a big fan of his since TUF and then especially when Dana dicked him over. Didn't see the fight. Anyone know if it was a close or even right decision?

    Big Gerald fan too but to be honest he looked very average. Not sure what it was but clearly he had the tools to put Nakamura away but just didn't really seem to pull the trigger. He seemed to get disheartened quite quickly and pretty much ground out the win. It was a split decision.

    Really can't understand how people can't find a link! I literally googled "Dream 17 stream" and it was like the 2nd result!

    Entertaining fights but I've always found it a chore to sit through the outrageously long introductions and intermissions etc. It's like they're combining the countdown show with the live event but just playing 10 mins of the countdown show between each fight!

    Meh, my antivirus blocks most of the google links, I usually try to use something like myp2p which is unfortunately down at the moment.

    Infairness that has always been part of the Japanese MMA package and Pride done entrances etc very well but i agree it can be a bit too much , especially when it's not a relevant fight.
