    Nice work ……… Dream 16 will be on in my house for sure.

  • DrDoom says:

    Actually , I think since Strikeforce has a “on hold ” situation with the injurys in the heavyweight division they should Let Fedor fight on the NYE card against Barnett . Talk about a matchup that would help DREAM out .

    • jcohl says:

      I’m pretty sure that due to the unique nature of M-1 Global’s agreement with Strikeforce that if they want to fight in Japan, they have that option.
      That might also be a good way for Scott Coker to “handle” this thing with first M-1 Global NOT wanting to fight Overeem, and now suddenly they do.
      And Antonio Silva wants to fight somebody, and Werdum is on the shelf, and WTF do they do with Brett Rogers, and blahblahblah.
      I’m also not sure how much competition Josh Barnett would be for Fedor, seeing as how the last time I saw Barnett in action he looked not at his sharpest, to put it politely…

      • DrDoom says:

        If they gave it the green light now I think Barnett would “tune” himself up for the fight of his life . But even if he stinks up the place as you said , it would be one of those cards sold on the names alone .

        As for rogers ….. I think a fight with Del Rosario would be next in order .

        Bigfoot Silva …… loan him out on the DREAM card to fight Alexander E or Bring Alex to Strikeforce for the fight . Hopefully the Hep test rumors are false . Another opponent could be Jeff monson .

        “As for rogers ….. I think a fight with Del Rosario would be next in order .”

        I like that! OR Cormier? Naw, I think Cormier deserves Bigfoot or someone higher in the ranks.

    Interesting side note. I read somewhere that fernandez the dream fw champ still hasn’t been paid fir his win over Hellboy and refuses to fight for dream until he gets paid.

    How exactly do I try to order this? Is it on reg ppv or that hd net thing?
