He only has to stay out of submissions for a couple of rounds, then it goes down a draw. He probably won't get a win but a draw is highly possible. And a draw in a grappling match against a Gracie can't be too bad for his record, surely? The cro cop math isn’t as mad as it sounds.

What the hell is going on over there?" Yeah, make your card up 3 months in advance and see your main event changed 4 times (UFC 85). “Wait, did they just get a card done with more than a week to spare?

I'd think hitting the mats in practice or entering grappling tournaments might be a better spend of everyone's time.

When they voted they voted for the long dreamed of match of Sakuraba vs Tamura. Tamura had to pull out and it just so happens the GP replacement was Melvin Manhoef. The good intentions of the fans in Japan might kill a man. To be fair the fans voted for this round’s matchups on DREAM’s website.
