Great fight performed by two great fighters! Alvarez a lot heavier than Hellboy though he did the weigh in OK?

Apparently DREAM is letting us vote for the fights for DREAM 4 and 5 in the Gran Prix at their site:

For the non-Japanese readers among us, you can just run it through Babel-Fish or something else, but letting the fans pick the fights is another awesome idea from DREAM.

That was an awesome fight from DREAM. I agree that Alvarez won the fight, but the great thing was that it was a full 15 minutes of fighting. Neither fighter gassed early, there wasn’t any of that ground fighting with both fighters just resting on each other between half-hearted blows or playing it safe, just action for 15 minutes. Definitely the fight of the night, but its still way too early to call fight of the year, especially since DREAM seems to want to finish both Grand Prix before the year is out.

Not usually a fan of the DREAM fights (I’ve never though the ropes-ring was a good format for MMA and that it gets in the way more than anything else) but this one was one of the best fights of the year, no doubt. I don’t agree with the decision going unaminously to Alvarez (he dominated the first round, but Hansen had the edge in the 2nd, no question) but I do agree that Alvarez won the fight overall.

Great fight, classy sportsmanship, and tons of heart. Those fighters showed what MMA is all about.

I agree that elbows causes cuts but… taking elbows out changes the fight. Such as, stand up close quarter fighting becomes rabbit punch fests. Also a fighter cannot adequately ground and pound taking away the elbow limits the fighter on top giving some advantage to the fighter on the bottom. All the fighter has too do when he’s on guard is to control the wrist to minimize damage.
