DREAM New Year! 2011 lightweight title fight between Shinya Aoki vs. Satoru Kitaoka. The bout took place on 12/31/2011.
What a great fight. Aoki is god damn grappling wizard.
pathetic fight.
How can anybody sit through 9 hours Dream???
9 hours of Dream = 7 hours of nothing and 2 hours of fights
How was that a boring fight? Grappling is just as exciting as striking. Aoki dissected Kotaokas game
Obviously the announcer isn’t a wrestler, using your head to gain a dominate position in grappling is key, so using your chin to dominate the position is part of the game, just like using a can opener.
even if it was a good fight (it was not) it wasn’t good enough to make up for 9 hours of mediocrocy
kitaoka is so jealous of aoki. kinda sad.
i dont get people some times…how can you say it wasnt a good fight…the guy is an AMAZING grappler. Grappling = creative not boring

The word is mediocrity.
big pappa,
i get how that looks to some fans but if you rolled for a couple of months, you’d feel different. Even people who don’t roll can appreciate the chess going on. that was a VERY good fight
and that dude not going out with his breathing impaired like that is unreal.
WTF are some of you guys talking about ” appreciating the chess match that’s going on?”. All I saw there were sloppy take downs, Kitaoka GIVING UP his back multiple times, Aoki showcasing his s*** guard passes and fvcking terrible commentators. This fight should have been over in the first round.
Aoki=Jon Fitch! Schiavello needs to go away for good!
