We are LIVE..................................

A great weekend of fights, I only hope that I will survive. Seven big events this weekend.

Does anyone think Razor has a chance? and can Hellboy regain his form?

I wanted to stay up for this event since JMMA is having so much trouble. I hope this isn't the last Dream event.

Minowaman nearly broke that Mongolian's arm and neck.

This should be a kickass BW tourney.................with Tokoro the eventual winner.
