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.

Nothing beats a homemade champion belt. Specially if you do it yourself!

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

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?
