"Inside MMA" Video: Aoki vs. Calvancante DREAM Fight
by MMAjunkie.com Staff [mmajunkie-staff] on Mar 27, 2008 at 9:39 am in - News -
DREAM's debut show took place March 15 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, and the night's main event proved to be a bit of a letdown.

The fight, which didn't air in the U.S., can now be watched here on MMAjunkie.com (MMA blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps - MMAjunkie.com), thanks to our partners at HDNet's "Inside MMA" program.

In the 10th and final fight of the evening, highly ranked lightweights Gesias Calvancante (14-1-1) and Shinya "Tobikan Judan" Aoki (14-2) met in a lightweight grand prix bout.

The fight was controversial from the start; many fans argued that the two fighters were both possible finalists in the 16-man field. Instead, event organizers had them meet in the opening round.

Check out the embedded video for the unexpected ending to that fight -- and highlights from other events throughout the world.

idk those shots looked legal to me, but like they said in the video something must of happened cause he looked hurt. Well I hope they redo the fight and continue on with the grand prix cause one of those guys needs to go forward and really the only way to determine that fairly is if they fight again.
