DREAM Middleweight Grand Prix champion Gegard Mousasi won his K-1 debut by TKO against K-1 veteran Mushashi, who entered with a kickboxing record of over 80 fights. Mousasi dropped his opponent twice before stopping him at 2:32 of the first round.
Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem fighting under K-1 rules knocked out the K-1 World GP Final runner-up Badr Hari at 2:07 of the first round. The plan is for the two to meet again under MMA rules at a future DREAM event.
DREAM lightweight Tatsuya Kawajiri, who feared for his own safety having to make his K-1 debut in this fight against a veteran Kozo Takeda, apparently had no reason to worry. Kawajiri dropped Takeda four times in the first round.
DREAM heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop handed Hong-Man Choi's second straight New Year's Eve loss by injuring the giant with leg kicks in the first round in a fight under MMA rules.
DREAM Middleweight GP semifinalist Melvin Manhoef showed again why he could easily be a top ten MMA fighter if only his ground game wasn't a question mark. Manhoef, stepping in on days notice, knocked out the heavier Mark Hunt in only 18 seconds with a right hook square on the chin.
