The DREAM.9 weigh-ins took place earlier today in Japan.

All fighters made weight. Minowaman and Sokoudjou are both giving up 100+lbs against their opponents. Canseco’s giving up about 80lbs, and Mousasi’s giving up almost 70lbs to Hunt.

And by the way, Canseco says he’s scared.

“I’m not gonna lie to you; I’m scared,” Canseco said. “This guy is huge. I’m a 44-year-old rookie and have had a lot of challenges in my baseball career. Hopefully, I can do well.”

PRIDE, DREAM and K-1 have all concocted some pretty crazy match-ups over the years, but never like this. You thought you had seen it all. Really, you haven’t, trust me.

Fields Dynamite!! 2008 took place earlier today at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

Results and thoughts after the jump.

DREAM.5 took place early Monday morning at Osaka Castle Hall in Osaka, Japan. The semi-finals and final round of the lightweight grand prix was featured in the Japanese organization’s fifth outing. Shinya Aoki, Caol Uno, Eddie Alvarez and Tatsuya Kawajiri battled it out to determine who would be the 2008 Lightweight Grand Prix Champion.

Mark Hunt also made his return to mixed martial arts action after a two year layoff against the always dangerous Alistair Overeem.

DREAM.5 results and wrap-up after the jump.

Earlier today, speculation was running rampant that Mark Hunt was competing at DREAM.5 when the above banner surfaced on the the internet with Hunt’s picture appearing on the right side. That speculation can now be laid to rest as Mark Hunt has indeed been confirmed by DREAM as a participant for their fifth show.
