...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
Weigh-ins took place today for tomorrow's DREAM 15 event from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Headlining the seven fight card is a DREAM Lightweight Title bout between Shinya Aoki and Tatsuya Kawajiri.
A bout between Jake O'Brien and Gegard Mousasi may be changed, as O'Brien came in 1 kilogram over the 93kg limit. Though DREAM officials are allowing him to weigh in a second time, Ricco Rodriguez, in Japan as he was expecting to fight Alistair Overeem, stated on Twitter that he was asked to step into that spot.
The event airs live in North America on HDNet at 3AM ET, and the "MMA Blowtorch" Rich Hansen will be covering the event live for MMATorch. Look for Rich's report late tonight/tomorrow morning. Full weigh-in results are below:
