Todd Duffee vs. Nick Gaston Booked for DREAM.17

Todd Duffee, owner of the fastest knockout in UFC history, will get another chance to prove himself in Japan as it was revealed on Wednesday that the heavyweight power-puncher has agreed to square off with the undefeated "Bully Beatdown" veteran Nick "Afrozilla" Gaston at DREAM.17 on July 16 at Ariake Coliseum.

Duffee's promotional debut at Dynamite on New Year's Eve 2010 was catastrophic. In his first fight since being cut from the UFC due to attitude problems, Duffee took a fight on extremely short notice and against the advice of his manager with one of the most dangerous men in the heavyweight division: 2010 K-1 World GP champion and Strikeforce ace Alistair Overeem.

As many predicted, Duffee proved to be no match for the much more experienced Overeem and the American fell in only 19 seconds.

Also announced for DREAM's first numbered event of the year, Atsushi Yamamoto, who TKO'ed newcomer Yusaku Nakamura in his May 29 Bantamweight GP quarterfinal bout before falling to Hideo Tokoro in the semifinals, has been forced out of his third-place GP bout with Kenji Osawa due to a detached retina. ZST bantamweight champion Keisuke Fujiwara, who dropped a decision to GP finalist Masakazu Imanari in the quarterfinals, will instead face Osawa for third place honors.

Het valt mij op dat Gegard een zeer bekwame vechter is die nooit een klap te veel geeft als zijn tegenstander k.o is, hij is beleeft en altijd rustig voor mij is hij echt een toonbeeld voor de sport voor zo'n jongen heb ik echt respect.

Lightweight bout: Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Willamy Freire


Tegen Willamy Freire heeft ons eigen Vincent Latoel ook nog gestaan in Brazilie, had toen in de 2 de ronde verloren op een choke, maar in de eerste ronde had Vincent flink wat klappen verkocht aan em

[MarkZ]

ben benieuwd weer

[Latoel]

Ik hoop dat Gegard weer wat van zijn kunsten laat zien. groot talent die naar mening te weinig vecht...

Mijn partij tegen Williamy 'Chiquerime' was een leuke pot! Ben benieuwd hoe hij t doet tegen Kawajiri..

[marcelt]

Gegard, onze held. Go Gegard!

Vraag me af of hij wel zijn geld heeft gekregen van FEG. Kennelijk wel.

Eiji Mitsuoka vs. Bruno Carvalho Added to DREAM BW Japan GP Final

The exodus from the dormant Sengoku Raiden Championship continued on Friday as Eiji Mitsuoka was announced as the latest fighter to sign with rival promotion DREAM. In his promotional debut on July 16 at Ariake Coliseum, Mitsuoka will face fellow DREAM newcomer, BJJ and judo black belt Bruno Carvalho.

The Mitsuoka vs. Carvalho bout wasn't the only news from DREAM on Friday as the promotion announced a name change for their next event. The July 16 DREAM event was initially titled DREAM.17 but it is now officially called: "Fight for Japan: DREAM Japan GP Final - 2011 Bantamweight Japan Tournament Final". Really rolls of the tongue doesn't it? The "Fight for Japan" series, which began back on May 29, is a down-scaled event to conserve electricity and raise money for March 11 tsunami and earthquake victims.

Also on the card, Gegard Mousasi will defend his DREAM light heavyweight championship against judoka Hiroshi Izumi, Hiroyuki Takaya will put his newly acquired DREAM featherweight belt on the line against "Little Hercules" Kazuyuki Miyata and the bantamweight Japan tournament will reach is conclusion.

Marius Zaromskis vs. 'Mach' Sakurai Rematch Booked for July 16 Dream Event

Another champion has been added to DREAM's upcoming event as DREAM welterweight champion and 2009 Welterweight GP champion Marius Zaromskis will rematch former pound-for-pound great Hayato "Mach" Sakurai in a non-title bout at Fight for Japan: DREAM 2011 Bantamweight Japan Tournament Final.

Prior to their first meeting during the 2009 Welterweight GP, Sakurai had struggled badly to cut the required weight and questions were raised as to his readiness and commitment to fighting. During the bout however, Sakurai traded evenly with Zaromskis early but was eventually on the receiving end of the Lithuanian's signature head kick and was pounded out for the first round stoppage.

Since then, although the reigning champion Zaromskis has managed to pick up two more wins in Japan and keep his belt but his trips to America have been disastrous, going 0-3 with one no contest. Sakurai has been even more troubled since their first meeting as the knockout loss was the start of an 0-4 slide that has yet to be broken.

DREAM Fight For Japan: Bantamweight Japan Grand Prix Finals got one new match and one alteration on Wednesday as the promotion announced that former Shooto champ Willamy "Chiquerim" Freire has suffered a hand injury and so has been forced out of his anticipated July 16 matchup with recent Strikeforce lightweight challenger Tatsuya Kawajiri.

The 31-year old Fickett, who holds notable wins over Josh Koscheck, Kenny Florian and Kurt Pellegrino, will be looking to rebound from a June 10 TKO loss to Sengoku and MFC veteran Brian Cobb while Kawajiri will seek to erase memories of his one-sided beating at the hands of Strikeforce ace Gilbert Melendez.

Also added to DREAM's second event of the year, local favorite and DREAM Light Heavyweight GP finalist Tatsuya Mizuno will attempt to snap a two-fight losing streak when he squares off with MFC and Shark Fights light heavyweight champion Trevor Prangley.

The July 16 "Fight for Japan" charity event, originally titled DREAM.17, is also set to feature Gegard Mousasi and Hiroyuki Takaya defending their DREAM belts against Hiroshi Izumi and Kazuyuki Miyata respectively while Masakazu Imanari and Hideo Tokoro will square off in the finals of the Bantamweight Japan GP.

Bruno Carvalho vs. Eiji Mitsuoka
Round 1
They touch gloves and circle about each other at the center of the ring. Carvalho feints some punches and low kicks. The next low kicks connect, but his swiping hooks miss. Mitsuoka shoots in and is stuffed. In the corner, the Japanese fighter absorbs knees to the belly while fighting for the single. Carvalho wraps his arms around Mitsuoka's head and seems to have caught him in the guillotine. Mitsuoka escapes and disengages. The Japanese fighter shoots again and gets the takedown, passing to half guard near the ropes. Mitsuoka drops a few punches, but cannot free his leg to pass to side control or mount. Referee Moritaka Oshiro briefly pauses the bout to fix Mitsuoka's glove.

Upon resuming, Mitsuoka finally frees his leg and gets the full mount. He connects with a few punches before a Carvalho scramble gets him back to half guard. Mitsuoka goes for the guillotine, but Carvalho survives and escapes. Back on the feet, Mitsuoka shoots and is again stuffed. Carvalho puts his face in the plum and knees him hard. Mitsuoka pushes through and gets the takedown, but the Brazilian tries once more to get his own guillotine. It's a no-go. Mitsuoka stands up in Carvalho's guard and kicks his legs, followed by a leglock attempt. Carvalho rolls and tries to kick the Japanese fighter off. Mitsuoka attempts to fix his grip for an Achilles lock. Carvalho scrambles free and stands the fight back up. Mitsuoka again gives chase and gets the takedown near the ropes. Again, Carvalho tries for the guillotine, but is unsuccessful in eliciting a tap. Mitsuoka pops his head out and drops perfunctory short hammerfists from guard to close out the last 30 seconds.

Round 2
Carvalho looks to light Mitsuoka up with a vicious hook and uppercut, followed by a big knee to the guts. Mitsuoka absorbs the shots and tries for the single, against the ropes. Oshiro breaks them up. Mitsuoka closes the distance to go for the takedown, and again, Carvalho wraps his arms around his neck for the guillotine attempt. Mitsuoka elevates and puts Carvalho on his back, escaping the guillotine attempt in the process. The Japanese fighter passes to full mount and drops punches from above. Carvalho rolls to his side and gets entangled in the ropes. Oshiro stands them up to reset them in the center of the ring. The Brazilian kickboxer recovers to half guard and pulls Mitsuoka in close to minimize distance. Mitsuoka passes again and postures up to rain punches. He's looking quite tired though, so these punches don't have much steam on them. Carvalho recovers half-guard, and then full guard as Mitsuoka continues to drop more tired punches. They go for each other's legs in the final 10 seconds, but neither gets anything significant. Sherdog.com sees the fight for Eiji Mitsuoka.

Official result: Judges Akira Shoji, Hikaru Adachi, and Kenichi Serizawa have the fight unanimously for your winner, Eiji Mitsuoka.

Marius Zaromskis vs. Eiji Ishikawa
Round 1
Zaromskis and Ishikawa meet in the center, where the Lithuanian pumps southpaw jabs into his opponent's face. Ishikawa pushes Zaromskis into the ropes and holds him there until referee Kenichi Serizawa separates them. Ishikawa throws punches and a high kick of his own, but they go wide, missing. Zaromskis marks Ishikawa up with counter punches, and they eventually careen into each other, tripping to the canvas together. Zaromskis lands on top and settles into side control. Ishikawa gets to his knees and drives for the single, momentarily putting Zaromskis down, but the Lithuanian explodes into a reversal. He's on top in riding time position, dropping bombs to Ishikawa's head. The Japanese fighter stands up and leans against the ropes, absorbing more punches. Zaromskis gets him back down to his knees and from riding time position, he starts picking his punches. Ishikawa flops to his back and they're stood up. Zaromskis lobs a few punches as Ishikawa attempts to get close enough for a takedown. His attempt is stuffed and nullified, prompting another break.

Ishikawa tries again and Zaromskis stuffs him, but it's in the clinch that Ishikawa seems to be getting in any offense. He puts a knee into Zaromskis belly and in the ensuing scramble, he captures his back in the rear waistlock. Zaromskis escapes and Ishikawa pursues him with wild punches and a head kick. Again, they miss, and the Lithuanian makes him pay with hard, accurate punches to the face. Ishikawa goes for a desperate takedown which turns into a clinch. It's eventually broken up, but Ishikawa tries for it again, and from the clinch, throws more knees to Zaromskis' midsection. Zaromskis returns the favor, putting his shar[ knees into Ishikawa's belly. Serizawa breaks them again. Zaromskis throws his brutal high kick, and Ishikawa blocks it. Ishikawa raises his arms, taunting, and Zaromskis shrugs. Ishikawa blocks another high kick, and as he tries to raise his arms to taunt Zaromskis again, he gets a flying knee to the face. Ishikawa survives and goes for a leg, but is pancaked. Serizawa breaks them up, and again, the fight falls into a familiar pattern of clinching and trading knees. Serizawa breaks them again and the Lithuanian pursues Ishikawa with snapping jabs until the bell.

Round 2
Zaromskis starts off with a jab-jab-left straight-kick to the body. Ishikawa responds with wild punches and a push kick. They meet again in the clinch against the ropes. Ishikawa drops for a leg, and Zaromskis pancakes him. They're stood up. Zaromskis starts digging vicious lead uppercuts to Ishikawa's body. Ishikawa dives for a leg and eats canvas as Zaromskis sprawls and flattens him. Zaromskis drops a few knees to his dome before being stood up again. Ishikawa shoots again, and Zaromskis grasps at Ishikawas leg to wrap him up in a small ball and flip him onto his side. Zaromskis passes to Ishikawa's back and lads a few big punches. The Japanese fighter flops to his back. Zaromskis stands, takes a step back, and does another backflip-into-downward knee strike like in his fight with Seichi Ishikawa. It doesn't do much damage, and gets him tied up in Ishikawa's limbs. They're stood back up, and again Ishikawa shoots in and is rebuffed. They trade knees in the clinch. Ishikawa pulls guard, but before he can set anything up, Zaromskis goes ape, dropping punches until the bell seconds later. Sherdog.com has this fight for Marius Zaromskis.

Official result: Judges Samio Kimura, Akira Shoji, and Hikaru Adachi all have the fight for the winner by unanimous decision, Marius Zaromskis.

Trevor Prangley vs. Tatsuya Mizuno
Round 1
Mizuno runs Prangley into a corner, at which point the South African spins him around. Prangley unleashes hard punches in the clinch before they break up. Mizuno lobs punches and low kicks. Prangley jumps back into the clinch to dirty box a bit more. Mizuno throws a kick to the body and Prangley returns fire with a big right hook to his guts. Prangley throwing punches with evil intent now, trying to walk Mizuno down while throwing swiping hooks. When he's close enough, he pulls the Japanese fighter into the clinch for more dirty boxing. Mizuno pushes Prangley into a corner and then breaks away. Prangley throws three swiping hooks, but Mizuno yanks his head back on all three, just evading them. He follows up with a knee to Prangley's belly. Prangley goes for the takedown and while he doesn't get it, he does trip Mizuno to the canvas. Unfortunately, he's halfway through the ropes, prompting Yuji Shimada to break them up and reset them in the center. It's there that Mizuno lands a vicious knee to Prangley's liver. Prangley ducks into the blow, and you can see the pain register in his expression. He collapses to his side and rolls over. Mizuno gives chase and lands a few hammerfists before Shimada dives in for the stop.

Keisuke Fujiwara vs. Kenji Osawa
Round 1

They snipe it out at the center, but it's Osawa who is first to shoot for the takedown. He drags Fujiwara to the canvas back in the center and takes top in half guard while Fujiwara holds onto his head. Osawa gets free, starts peppering Fujiwara's head and side with short punches after locking up his arm and head in the arm-triangle choke. Osawa fights to get his leg in half guard free. He pulls it out and rotates to go for the choke. Our third man in the ring, Samio Kimura asks Fujiwara if he wants out, but the ZST champ hangs on. He eventually escapes and dives for a leg. Osawa defends and gets his foot free, putting Fujiwara back down on the canvas.



Osawa has his legs wrapped around Fujiwara's, essentially putting him in a really low mount. Osawa improves his position by creeping upward until he has a proper mount, from which he throws punches to the body and head. Fujiwara frees a leg from the bottom and Kimura breaks them up. Osawa misses a two-hook combo, but it's mostly just to cover up his takedown attempt. He again has Fujiwara on bottom in mount, and he continues his body-body-head short punches. Fujiwara scrambles and gets hold of Osawa's left leg. Osawa punches him off and falls back into Fujiwara's half-guard. Osawa locks up the arm-triangle choke again but his leg is still stuck in Fujiwara's guard. He gives up the choke and instead passes to the mount where he stays for the final 10 seconds.


Round 2

Osawa throws a body kick, evades some Fujiwara punches to put him in the corner. Fujiwara chucks him off and they're back in the center where Fujiwara hunts Osawa with jabs. Osawa drops and whips the ZST champ to the canvas with the single. He gets off a few short punches before Kimura stands them up. Osawa shoots in and eats two knees to the dome. Fujiwara seems to be anticipating these takedown attempts now and is putting forth knees and uppercuts, trying to time these attempts. Osawa retreats, throws a kick to the body, then dives low and gets around to Fujiwara's back in the waistlock. He puts him on the canvas, but Fujiwara scrambles to his feet and walks Osawa up against the ropes. Osawa drops for the takedown and gets it. Fujiwara tries for a kimura from bottom, but he doesn't get it. Fujiwara tries next for the omaplata in an attempt to reverse, but Osawa doesn't flip over. The bell rings shortly after. Sherdog.com has this fight for Kenji Osawa.


Official result: Judges Matt Hume, Hikaru Adachi, and Akira Shoji give their nods to your winner by unanimous decision, Kenji Osawa. With the win, Osawa claims third-place in the Dream Japan GP, and advances to the Dream bantamweight championship tournament later this year.

Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Drew Fickett
Round 1
They trade low kicks to start out and Fickett looks rather bothered by them. Kawajiri swarms with hooks to the body, pushing Fickett into the ropes. Fickett hops up and throws on the guillotine. They drop to the floor, but Kawajiri frees his head and from on top in half guard, he begins mashing with short punches. Kawajiri blocking Fickett's attempts at sweeping, staying close on top, biding his time before posturing up to drop big hammerfists and punches. Fickett covers up under the fire, but he's doing little else other than that. Yuji Shimada hovers ever closer, asking if Fickett wants out, but despite him getting mashed on, he gives the ref the thumbs up. The "Crusher" lets up with the crushing long enough to improve position to mount. Fickett puts him back in half guard. Kawajiri thus returns back to grounding-and-pounding, and Fickett covers up and flops to his side. Having let Fickett go through an extended mashing like this moments earlier, Shimada has deemed that he's taken enough punishment and steps in to call it. Fickett does not protest, remaining on the mat, covering his head after the stoppage.

[Jeru]

Dream Light Heavyweight Championship
Gegard Mousasi vs. Hiroshi Izumi
Round 1
Izumi takes the first swipe with an errant left hook. Mousasi pops him with a jab and then evades another hook followed by a spinning back fist. Mousasi stuffs a takedown attempt. Mousasi maneuvers Izumi into a corner and pressures him with jabs and push kicks. Izumi tries another spinning back fist and it grazes, but does no apparent damage. Referee Kenichi Serizawa stops the bout for a moment to have Izumi put his mouthpiece back in. Mousasi starts sniping at the body now, still maneuvering the Japanese fighter around the ring. Mousasi stinging with that long jab of his, bloodying Izumi's nose. Mousasi is looking very loose. He measures his punches, gauging the proper distance with which to unleash. After pumping a few more stiff jabs, he follows with a big right cross that puts the judoka on his back. Mousasi dives in with more punches. He picks his shots, but Izumi still manages to stand up while under fire. He leans outside the ropes in an attempt to escape while Mousasi windmills with hooks behind him. Serizawa has seen enough however and steps in for the stop. Gegard Mousasi retains the Dream light heavyweight title at 3:28 of the first round.
