WOW @ soko after the fight was over. that was just uncalled for

[EmpireWF]

Mousasi looked untouchable. He's fighting Belfort at Affliction 3, should be a great fight, but I thought Mousasi didn't want to fight at 185 anymore.

I guess Sokoudjou just got caught in the moment, it was crazy....my reaction = "He won.....wtf....stop punching you moron...."

JZ looked a bit slow in his fight, expected more explosiveness from him

Sucks Yamamoto lost but I guess Warren was no joke afterall.

Sucks the main ended without a decision, REMATCH

lol @ Canseco. Sokoudjou went crazy lol. Watching the Hunt-Mousasi match now.

[CrimsonGhost56]

Mousasi could win the tourney with one hand behind his back but im pulling for minowa now.

I was pulling for Jose Canseco for the lulz he would bring every fight.

Watching through the rest of DREAM.9. Good show. Couple of surprising results, obviously.

[Bigpapa42]

Haha what?

The Super Hulk tournament was just silly. Kawajiri/Calvancante was a snoozefest. Yamamoto/Warren was decent, yet disappointing. Miller/Jacare was a NC. Imanari/Fernandes was a total snoozefest.

Maeda/Takaya was pretty good.

The only entertaining fight was Cullum/Tokoro.

Not sure how that equates to a 'good show,' but hey, to each his own.

Love the freak fights. Especially since they have some legit fighters like Mousasi and Minowa in there.

Thought the Kawajiri-Calvacante fight was pretty solid. Not amazing, but pretty good. I thought the Yamamoto-Warren fight was really good. The fight itself was good, plus add in the context of Kid coming back and Warren going for the upset...

Super Hulk my ass....more like david vs goliath.

All the HUGE beastly guys fought guys half there size. Would have been far more interesting to see JUST the monstrosities fight each other.

btw wtf was with Soko pounding that guy after the ref stopped it ???

Pretty boring. Kid Yamamoto has looked boring or bad the 2 times Ive watched him. I guess hes a flash in the pan. He looked terrible.

Two huge guys going at it is rarely going to make for a good fight. I mean, have you seen Butterbean-Zuluzinho? At least the big-small dynamic is fun, if rarely a good fight. You either have Goliath administering a good old beatdown, or David pulling the unlikely win over a much bigger opponent. Its the kind of thing you only get in Japanese MMA and I love that.

As for Yamamoto... the guy is 17-2 now and holds wins - impressive wins, at that - over some of the best guys in the lower weight classes. Yet you see him twice and he's a flash in the pan? If I've only seen Anderson Silva's last two fights, can I accurately assume he's a boring fighter who does little?
