Hideo Tokoro involved in car accident

By Zach Arnold | July 17, 2008

30-year old Hideo Tokoro, who was booked to fight 31-year old Takeshi Yamazaki on this Monday’s DREAM 5 event at Osaka Castle Hall in a fight billed as an ‘ikemen (hot guy) match’, was involved in a minor car accident at 2:20 PM on the 16th in Machida, Tokyo. His car was rear-ended.

A decision will be made tomorrow as to whether or not Tokoro will be able to fight on the show.

   Due to the font, I misread the title as “involved in ear accident” and had a flashback to EliteXC on CBS.

   Thanks for the memories.
