DREAM Lightweight MMA Tournament - Full Results

The first DREAM event is in the books. DREAM, of course, is a Japanese MMA organization put together by elements of PRIDE and K-1. Right off the bat, they’re holding a Lightweight tournament to crown a champion, with a Middleweight tourney to follow later this year. Oh, and the main event had nothing to do with the tournament as Mirko Cro-Cop made his debut with the organization and tried to snap a two-fight UFC losing streak. Could he do it?

Let’s take a look. Odds, by the way, were provided by Bodog sports book, which is fast, friendly and open to U.S. customers.
