DREAM 17: World Bantamweight Grand Prix Weigh-In Results

DREAM 17: World Bantamweight Grand Prix Weigh-In Results

The weigh-ins for the DREAM 17 took place at Saitama Super Arena mostly without a hitch last night in Japan. The lone dissenter was King of the Cage veteran Abel Cullum, who weighed in four pounds over the 134 lb. limit. It was unknown whether Cullum would actually attempt to cut the additional weight as MMAFighting.com's Dan Herbertson pointed out that Cullum was having a hard time on the scale:

Although Cullum will have a chance to make the 61 kg/ 134.5 lbs limit, he already appeared badly drawn out at the weigh-ins and was shaking uncontrollably on the scales. Given his condition it seems unlikely that he will be able to make the cut and the bout will likely be changed to a catchweight.

Update: It took him four hours, but Cullum somehow managed to cut to 61 kg/ 134.5 lbs.

Lightweight: Shinya Aoki (153 lbs.) vs. Rob McCullough (153 lbs.)

Does anyone know how many rounds of the tournament they are doing? Just the quarter finals?

I certainly hope so, Tokoro is one of my favorites. Banuelos is a tough opponent though.

I want to happen just to see the guy make two consecutive tournament runs. I’ve noted before that should this happen, I will regularly refer to 2011 as “The year of Tokoro.”

He'll need to be tough if Tokoro unleashes the dreaded Atomic Groin Buster

Oh god, that Maeda fight was so bizarre. Tokoro doing stuff like that and his ridiculous, Victor Ortiz style headbutt, and Maeda appearing to be completely high.

I would totally take a power nap so I could fit in both Strikeforce Challengers and DREAM tonight, but Comcast screws me again with the lack of HDNet. Do they stream HDNet online at all?
