That's actually a really good card. I mean, not like it's must watch or anything, but the BW tourney looks fun.

So since they are throwing events does this mean that Dream ended up paying their fighters? As of a few months ago, they hadn't even paid guys for their 2010 bouts.

Joke.

Kawajiri is long overdue to be signed by the UFC.

I'm looking forward to it.

The Japanese NYE events are always must watch, IMO.

two more fights added via a yahoo article. the Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Peter Aerts fight made me :o :o :o :o :o :o until i realized IGF is pro-wrestling....

and it's good to see Fujita is still alive after nearly dying from Overeem's kness.

Josh Barnett is going to have a pro-wrestling match on this card too. Hope he gets that out of his system so he can come back to the UFC when the SF heavyweight division is dissolved. Kinda surprised he's doing it even now. I know it must be in his contract that he can, but it doesn't mean he has to.

Sakuraba is also in a tag-team match, lol.

I used to pay like 5 bucks a month for it, but now that I have DirecTV, it is part of my deal.
