Sasahara: DREAM.9 TV Ratings Exceed Expectations
Ratings are in for last night's prime time TBS presentation of Fighting and Entertainment Group's DREAM.9, and although the show ended with some controversy, it seems to have been a modest success with viewers nonetheless. DREAM event producer Keiichi Sasahara (right) told Kamipro that the show...
DREAM.9 Live Play-by-Play, Results and Commentary
The gargantuan DREAM.9 airs Tuesday morning at 5AM Eastern / 2AM Pacific on HDNet, and as always, BloodyElbow.com will bring you live play-by-play and results (along with the usual semi-coherent ramblings from the Bloody Elbow Night Crew in the comments). We'll see the second DREAM Middleweight...
Jose Canseco Has Arrived in Japan
Arguably the most talked-about and easily the most maligned of the participants on this Tuesday's DREAM.9 card, 40/40 clubber turned steroid snitch Jose Canseco touched down at Narita Airport outside of Tokyo earlier today. There had been speculation as to whether Canseco would back out of his...
Quote of the Day: Joe Warren
"A lot of people, they don't know that I'm gonna be the next world champ at 63 kilos in a few months, and come back [to the States] and rip a hole through whoever wants to fight me here... We plan on putting my kneecap through ["Kid" Yamamoto's] temple, that's what we plan on doing. Front...

Hello, Japan! DREAM's "Super Hulk" Tournament Stirs Feelings of PRIDE
When I went to sleep last night, I was fairly certain we'd already heard all the big news that was going to come out of Japan this week. Many offices and businesses have closed down for the Golden Week holidays, and besides, what could possibly top Wednesday's Fedor-Aoki Sambo spectacle? Then I...
Hello, Japan! - April 27th
This is the first in what will hopefully be a regular series here on Bloody Elbow, a place to gather up the myriad notes and bout announcements from the Japanese scene every few days (or weekly, as the news dictates). I hope you dig, and feel free to let me know about anything I may have...
DREAM.9 and Sengoku VIII Add Bouts
The news and fight announcements just keep flowing out of Japan this week. I'm not sure how anyone can train at the DEEP Gym with all the press conferences they've been holding on the mats there lately. Today, it was DREAM Event Producer Keiichi Sasahara and Tatsuya Kawajiri (23-5-2) addressing...
