The “DREAM 11 – Featherweight Grand Prix 2009 Final” takes place on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2009, at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. The event, which features a lightweight title fight between Joachim Hansen and Shinya Aoki, the final round of the DREAM Featherweight Grand Prix, and the Super Hulk Tournament semi-finals, will air via tape delay in the U.S. on HDNet beginning at 7 a.m. ET Tuesday morning. PROMMA.INFO will be providing play-by-play commentary of the broadcast.

All fighters successfully made weight at the DREAM 11 weigh-ins which took place on Monday. Kazushi Sakuraba made weight just fine, but he had quite a bit of trouble making it to the scales. Either he was trying to be funny, he was drunk, or he is completely off his rocker. Frankly, he looks lost. Watch the video above to see what I’m talking about.

  1. looks like Saku was just having fun to me. Didn’t look lost as the post said.
    He looks in great shape too, much better than when he fought melvin or tamura.

  2. The biggest weight differences in MMA fights that I know of were when the 700+ pound sumo guy fought at UFC 3 and Pride 2. He lost both fights.
