OTHER NOTES

- WAMMA Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko appeared in the ring and briefly addressed the fans in attendance, stating that he would like to face Japanese judoka and 2008 Olympic gold medalist Satoshi Ishii but that "unfortunately that hasn't been decided yet," though he would like to fight in Japan on New Year's Eve regardless. HDNet's Ron Kruck had reported earlier in the evening that Emelianenko would face the winner of the Cro Cop/Overeem bout on New Year's Eve.

- Following his fight, Aoki took the mic and said he had an important announcement for the fans: that he would like to fight "Michael Jackson" (Akiyama) on New Year's Eve. Akiyama, meanwhile, also expressed his desire to fight someone after his victory: fellow world-class judoka Hidehiko Yoshida.

Easily one of the best cards of the year in my opinion. Mousasi really proved that he is a top middleweight with two impressive wins over serious competitors. All of the Dream cards have been quality; top production, great fights with an ever improving roster of fighters. The japanese just know how to put on an MMA card!
