Melvin Manhoef came out with his guns blazing in his bout with Paulo Filho and rocked the dangerous submission artist badly on several occasions before eventually being dragged to the canvas. Once there, Filho made short work of Manhoef as he locked on the game ending armbar to bring the exciting bout to a conclusion midway through the first.

Jesse “JT Money” Taylor earned his seventh straight win since being released from the UFC, although it didn’t come in the fashion he had hoped for.

Taylor came out strong and shot for the takedown on Dong Sik Yoon right away. During the takedown Sik Yoon’s leg was snapped like a tree branch. Surprisingly the injured warrior fought on valiantly before eventually succumbing to the pain on the ground giving Taylor the first round TKO victory due to injury.

Hayato “Mach” Sakurai was cut early into his match with Marius Zaromskis prompting the referee to call a halt to the action so the doctors could take a look at the injury. After a short deliberation process with the doctors the action was restarted.

Sakurai was almost immediately  blasted with a brutal left high kick that sent him crashing to the canvas. A couple of hard follow up punches prompted the referee to call and end to the contest sending Zaromskis into the DREAM welterweight finals.

Sakurai was widely regarded as the favorite to win the tournament.

Zaromskis is a Lithuanian fighter that entered the bout with Sakurai sporting a record of 9-2. The win over Sakurai made it three consecutive wins for the welterweight.

He went on to face Jason High in the welterweight grand prix finals where he knocked the American unconscious with a brutal head kick to claim the championship.

Filipovic has agreed to face off with heavy handed K-1 knockout artist Siala “Mighty Mo” Siliga at Dream 10.

The event is scheduled for July 20 in Saitama, Japan.

Cro Cop recently fell under an umbrella of controversy after Kevin Iole from Yahoo! Sports reported his intentions to leave the UFC after a one fight stint with the organization despite giving UFC President Dana White and UFC fans his word that he would continue to compete with the promotion.

The victory over Al Turk didn’t come without it’s own controversy as Cro Cop brutally gouged Al Turk’s eyes with his fingers just prior to the disputed TKO stoppage.

Mighty Mo has amassed a 14-9 record during his kickboxing career and a record of 3-1 during his time in MMA. He suffered his first mixed martial arts defeat on New Years Eve 2008 when he was caught in a Semmy Schilt triangle choke after going 3-0 with three knockouts to start out his career.

Mo is an extremely dangerous and naturally large striker with dynamite in his fists. He poses a real threat to put Cro Cop back in the loss column after three straight wins.

Former Olympic gold medalist and longtime PRIDE fighter Makoto Takimoto (4-4) will go for his third win in four fights when he meets Frank Trigg (16-6) at World Victory Road’s “Sengoku 4″ event.

Trigg today confirmed the Aug. 24 fight with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).

“We just finalized it with World Victory Road,” he said.

Trigg’s last appearance inside the cage came at HDNet Fights in December when he recorded an absolutely sick Kimura submission from the bottom position over former UFC veteran and TUF season four alum Edwin Dewees. Trigg has won three of his last four fights, his last loss coming in March 2007 when he lost to Robbie Lawler in a slugfest for the ICON Sport middleweight title.

Takimoto is a long time veteran of the PRIDE organization and Olympic gold medalist in judo and is looking for his third win in four fights. His last fight was a submission loss to Cyborg Santos at Sengoku 1.
