DREAM.3 is now in the books. Three quarterfinal matches in DREAM’s Lightweight Grand Prix took place as well as a welterweight title contender bout between Nick Diaz and Katsuya Inoue and a middleweight grand prix round match between Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller and Katsuyori Shibata. Melvin Mahoef and Kim Dae Won squared off in a middleweight grand prix reserve bout.

I don’t have HDNet so I didn’t get to see the show in its entirety, but I caught quite a few of the fights on the internet. The fights I saw were very entertaining particularly the one many are calling a fight of the year candidate.

Thoughts and results after the jump.
