Man 'o' man, apparently it was quite a good show. The Super Hulk tournament results were definetly to be expected, though I did think that Mousasi V Hunt was going to go for a little longer...guess Hunt isn't anything compared to his old self. Maybe Pride had been doing some form of demonic rituals for some of there fighters (Cro Cop, Hunt, etc) and now they're failing without them

Went 1 out of 4 for predictions on the featherwight tournament (That one correct guess being Takaya) really thought Cullum, Imanari, and Yamamoto were going to be locks...in fact the only fight I was iffy on was the Takaya V Maeda fight.

Also unfortunate ending for the Main Event, supposably Mayhem was in tears and apologising to his corner profusely for the way it went down, so hopefully they'll set a rematch for Dream 10...

Speaking of which here's the current line-up for that event...which is Mayhem V Souza is rescheduled for could be quite interesting...
