What???!!! Dream is Pride, just with less American fighters. Still the same screaming lady, still the big productions, still the ring, and still allowing curb stomps while down.
I really think that most Japanese fighters are not used to the COMPLETE game of MMA. Like Aoki is a grappler but his stand-up is non existent, now how can he think that he can come to the US and dominate with fighters that not only are Division 1 wrestlers but also have trained with golden gloves winning boxers.
Really Japanese fighters need to take a step back and really work...that whole treating them like royalty in Japan, I think makes them get a big head and they think they can just come and dominate without putting in all the work like our fighters do.
Most US fighters getting away from the one dimension...and getting the whole fighter concept, and that is something that Japanese fighters need to do as well
