DREAM 9 results & thoughts..

Kid Yamamoto loses for the first time in seven years to newcomer Joe Warren in a split decision. Yamamoto now 17-2 and Joe Warren now 1-0.

Jason “Mayhem” Miller vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza ended in a NO CONTEST result after Mayhem tripped Souza to the mat and then illegally soccer kicked him in the head opening up a gnarly gash. The fight continued, but was soon stopped because of bleeding from the cut. Mayhem said “It’s because I’m a fool, I got too excited. Honestly, it was an accident. I do the same technique in training, where I grab a guy’s leg and kick him as he’s falling, but he was already on the ground. And so, here we are.”

Gegard Mousasi submitted Mark Hunt  in 1:19 of round one.

Tatsuya Kawajiri got a unanimous decision victory over Gesias Cavalcante.

In the fight I was most looking forward to, Hong Man Choi vs Jose Canseco, it actually lasted longer than I expected. I was hoping for Canseco to win..seriously..although I knew it probably wouldn’t happen. Canseco threw some big hooks and kicks at Choi, but to no avail.. Canseco fell after throwing a kick, and Choi pounced on him delivering some ground-and-pound, forcing Canseco to tap out at 1:17 of round one. I feel kinda bad for Canseco, considering it was said that nobody wanted to help train him.

Sokoudjou defeated Jan Nortje by TKO at 2:29 of round one, but Sokoudjou kept on punching Nortje for a few seconds after the referee had called for a stop.

Minowa submitted Bob Sapp with an Achilles Lock.

DREAM 9: Super Hulk Tournament

Man this has the makings of the best MMA fight card in the history of ever. Especially if they actually get Jose Canseco vs. Hong Man Choi on the card. There is no way in hell I would miss a fight like that.

Also awesome, is Minowa vs. Bob Sapp (I can’t believe they haven’t fought before). Gegard Mousasi vs. Mark Hunt, Jan Nortje vs Sokoudjou, and a re-match between Jason Mayhem Miller and Ronaldo Jacare Souza. Should be a fun night!

WARNING: Stay Away from MMA News Sites Unless You Want YARENNOKA! Spoiled

The Yarennoka! show by M-1 Global featuring Fedor/Choi will be aired at 6:00am EST in the United States on HDNet. I think it will be replayed later in the day, but unless you want the fights spoiled, I suggest staying away from any MMA news sites that might have the results on their front page.
