Today marks the return of new Japanese Promotion, DREAM.
This was their second event, held at the Saitama Super Arena in Tokyo. The night's action saw the eagerly awaited rematch betweeen Shinya Aoki and Gesias "JZ"Calvancante, and the end of the first round for their middleweight tournament. The first round of the Lightweight tournament was held at DREAM 1.
In the nights main event, Calvancante was beaten by Aoki via unanimous decision. This result means that Aoki will advance in the tournament. This rematch was needed after Calvancante hit Aoki with an illegal elbow in their first fight, leaving Aoki unable to continue.
The other fights revealed some great results, seeing Kazushi Sakuraba victorious in his DREAM debut. In a perhaps unexpected twist, Masakatsu Funaki lost his fight against Kiyoshi Tamura.
