This week I went to a mixed martial arts tournement called DREAM 16. It was at Nihon Gaishihoru, a sports stadium in Nagoya. The place was packed and the fighters did not dissapoint. There were astounding KO's, submissions, and 3 round fights. I had a really good time.
This was actually the first time I have been to a profetional MMA tournament. Even though I was in the cheap seats, 5,000 yen ($60), I could see everything that was going on. Next time I will probably go for the same cheap seats but maybe invest in some binaculars. :-)
Another thing I liked was the food. I bought a sausage on a stick with french fries and it was delicious. Those two things are hard to come by in Japan; it's mostly asian food. I will do a blog on food some other time.
Long story short, it was a fun four hours. Note: DREAM has tournaments throughout the year and at different locations in Japan. If you can make one, I recomend it.
Sayonara,
Tristan

ReplyDeleteThanks man. Im glad too. Funny thing is that it took me half the day to find the place. I made it in time though. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome bro! I especially like the bonus footage at the end. I was watching it here with the guys and at the first fight, I totally called it that they were trying to hit each other in the nads.
