UFC 85 through the DREAM prism

The upstart Japanese organization DREAM has been the victim of unjustly harsh, and baseless criticisms from the online Mixed Martial Arts blogging community. Their seemlingly last minute matchmaking has infuriated a portion the blogging-elite, and caused an uproar among the UFC preferential forum posters.

Where is this criticism for UFC after their failed and ever-failing UFC 85: Bedlam card? Removed has been Chuck Liddell, "Shogun" Hua, Rashad Evans, Chris Liben, Ryo Chonan, Jonathan Goulet, Paul Kelly, Neil Wain and Jason Day.

Without a doubt the failings of UFC 85 have surpassed any of the minor stumbles any single DREAM card has had thus far in it's early inceptions.

With the UFC trying their hardest to break into the world market it's very disheartening to see this major misstep in bringing over foreign fans to their business.

It's hard to believe that any organization could botch an overseas excursion worse than the debacle that was K-1 Dynamite USA. Perhaps in a few weeks time we will have a new definition of failure if UFC 85: Bedlam lives up to expectations.

this is classic

UFC 85’s troubles are all the result of injuries - Shogun and Liddell - DREAM’s troubles tend to be of their own making, late bookings, announcing fighters they haven’t signed, etc.
Thanks for posting though, I do enjoy your input.
