DREAM official site

Kazuyuki Miyata vs. Luis Buscape
Koutetsu Boku vs. Joachim Hansen

The remaining fighters in the tournament are:
Andre Dida
Mitsuhiro Ishida
Caol Uno
Gilbert Melendez
Artur Oumakhanov
Jung Bu-Kyung

and I believe two more participants that have not been named yet.

I just cant wait for this to happen

Going too be the event of 2008 i think. personally, i love watching LW's fight. gonna be great too watch a LW Tourney FINALY, after the talks of the Pride LW Tourney, then the sell out. US THE FANS WERE LET DOWN! but now this makes up for it all

Sick thus far...I hope this event will be all that I Dream it will.. Hahaha no pun intended.

I just have one very important question, how am i going to watch this in the US?

Wait, check out the Ticket prices on the website...

$100,000 VIP
$7,000 Basic

better be in Yen.

It will probably be PPV, or Fight Network, maybe HDNet. no clue. but Guaranteed we will be able to watch it in North America

this will be great. looking forward to it big time. hope to see melendez get back on track and take it all.

Or the UK ?

The rest of the fights should be paired up like this


Gilbert Melendez vs Artur Oumakhanov
Mitsuhiro Ishida vs Caol Uno
Andre Dida vs Jung Bu-Kyung

At the end of the 1st Round I think the match ups come out like this

JZ gets the out bracket because he's the first seed

Gilbert Melendez vs Buscape Firmimo
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs Andre Dida
Mitsuhiro Ishida vs Hellboy Hansen

Semi-Finals

Gilbert Melendez vs Hellboy Hansen
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs JZ Calvancante

Finals

Gilbert Melendez vs JZ Calvancante

And I think Golbert wins the Tournament, You heard me say it First

Where is it guaranteed? I haven't seen anything about a N. American broadcast yet.

AAAAAhhhhHHHHhH! 'Pride' Lives. mwahahaha

This is going to be amazing...anyone know how many events this is going to take to complete?

Yeah This does look really good and I'll definetly be watching it somewhere.
I'm a fan of Melendez for sure and I like hanson alot I would love to see these guys in the ufc even though the division they fight in is stacked I think they would climb to the top real quick.
I'm going for Melendez to win the whole thing but I do like a handful of the fighters, can't wait.

that poster look really nice, it would be nice if they had it for sale 3'x8' panoramic as it is

I don't think as of yet they have anything set as for North American viewing, I know that Cuban is in there working hard on getting the rites (he posted on Sherdog about it a couple of days ago) but nothing is set. Lets hope that this gets signed with someone soon, I hate watching fights on the internet.

(and yes that is the real Mark Cuban)

Not to go off on a tangent but that artwork/photography is what the UFC lacks. The UFC event websites are amazing but the actual production values on the shows are really lacking. That awful gladiator opening?!? How is that still running?!

Dream is partnered with K-1. all K-1 fights are shown LIVE on either Fight Network or other PPV's. so don't worry. The NA Market is too big for them not too broadcast in NA. don't worry ppl.
