Dream 11 Results
Dream 11 is now in the books and I have to say4am in the morning is early. Easily the fight of the night was the Featherweight Grand Prix finale of Hiroyuki Takaya vs. Bibiano Fernandes. These two went at it the whole 15 minutes giving everything they had with Fernandes edging out a close split decision. The Lightweight title bout between Joachim Hansen vs. Shinya Aoki was very boring an included a 5+ minute milking of a groin push by Aoki. The fight was mainly on the ground where Aoki laid on Hansen until the final 30 seconds when Hansen got lazy on was caught in a armbar. The semifinals fights in the featherweight Grand prix were ok fights that led to the great finally. The rest of the fight card was ok but mostly mismatches and sideshows. I went 2-4 in my picks, which sucks but hey I warned you. In closing I’d like to say a hugh WTF to Mike Schiavello, that guys knows his stuff but the stuff that comes out his mouth is wild.
