In the main event Buddy Roberts from Reno Nevada fighting out of Ken Shamrock’s Lion’s Den stunned the local Heavyweight Champion and K-1 kickboxing superstar, Rick Cheek, with a rear naked choke just 52 seconds into the first round. Roberts shot in for a take down and quickly took Cheek’s back; from there Robert’s sunk in the choke which left Cheek unconscious.

SAITAMA, Japan — Nearly 22,000 fans showed up at the Saitama Super Arena to see Jason “Mayhem” Miller in action for the first time in Asia. To fill the last spot of the middleweight grand prix, self-proclaimed Monkey King, Jason “Mayhem” Miller, dispatched of Masakatsu Funaki pupil Katsuyori Shibata. Like Funaki’s last outing, it wasn’t a good showing for Shibata. Miller quickly took the initiative with strikes from the outside and in the clinch, which forced Shibata to pull guard for a guillotine. On
the ground, Miller outclassed his opponent by moving into back mount and delivering strikes until the referee stopped the bout 6:57 into the first.

It was an impressive debut in Japan for Miller, and if his romancing of a ring girl after the fight is any indication, he could have a bright future in Japan and Dream. You can check out the fight here!
