The 'Ghost of Saitama' series continues with a look back at the latest Dynamite!! event. New Year's Eve spectacles had become the norm in mixed martial arts, but 2011 may have been the curtain call for the tradition.
Complete results for Dream New Year 2011. Fedor Emelianenko KO'd Satoshi Ishii, Shinya Aoki took a decision win over Satoru Kitaoka and Bibiano Fernandes took the bantamweight tournament.
Mixed martial arts may not be the hot trend anymore in Japan, but that hasn't stopped Japanese fight promotion DREAM to put together one of the best MMA events we've seen all year in the Land of the Rising Sun. Fight For Japan: Genki Desu Ka Omisoka 2011 will air live on HDNet at 1 AM ET on Saturday, December 31.
DREAM will bring fight fans nine hours of MMA programming with Genki Desu Ka!! -- a New Year's Eve extravaganza filled with MMA, kickboxing and pro wrestling. Coverage begins Sat. early morning at 1am ET.
Brett Rogers domestic abuse prison sentence will prevent him from obtaining a visa and traveling to fight Tim Sylvia under the DREAM banner as part of the FieLDS 'Genki Desu Ka!!' New Year's Eve event at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, on Dec. 31, 2011.
