I watched the entire thing. It wasn’t bad, but it’s a totally different animal from UFC, which tends to be what I’m more interested in.

The long first round and the tolerance that some of the refs have for substantial inaction without an attempt to improve position are probably the biggest differences to me, they change the entire context of the fight, and I do think that the UFC approach favors a certain type of fighter and might lead to more finished fights and fewer decisions. I haven’t run any sort of analysis on that, but I definitely felt like fights were going really long for the most part.

The knees/elbows thing is more cosmetic, IMHO.

I’m not sure that I’m entirely qualified yet to comment on the quality of this event versus the quality of a UFC event. I’m more used to comparing my feelings about one UFC event versus other UFC or WEC events.

I thought UFC 80 was the best show of the year. IIRC, it aired 8 of the 9 fights, and all of them were good. Only one of those eight fights went to a decision (it was also FOTN).

To think I almost didn’t order it…

You people want anything but the UFC to succeed so badly that you will bash anything I say:

“Since the bout was signed on such short notice to round out the card, it will be contested at a catchweight of 148 pounds. Yamazaki told the media at his May 8 public workout at the Grabaka gym that he had only learned of his opponent an hour before their arrival.”

Anyone else see that metallic ring thing stuck to the Korean’s foot? What was that?

^^^ I forgot what time DREAM was on, and when I checked I was kicking myself for tuning in half an hour late. I was quite a bit surprised when the fighters in the first match of the night were still walking down the ramp. Good timing I guess.

That was quite the first fight.

I can’t believe that I watched the tortuous 35 minute opening ceremonies though.
