		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t let last week&#8217;s DREAM 15 go by without showing this. Shinya Aoki&#8217;s Achilles lock on Tatsuya Kawajiri is the slickest, sickest, gnarliest submission since Aoki ripped Mizuto Hirota&#8217;s arm off. Just vicious stuff. And he wasn&#8217;t even wearing his magic grappling pants.

Aoki&#8217;s DREAM title will not be on the line, although bragging rights will be. Aoki has made it clear he believes he&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just last week I complained that Josh Barnett isn&#8217;t fighting (outside of Japanese pro wrestling and local submission wrestling tournament) and he should be. Yes, the steroid scandal is still hanging over his head, but that&#8217;s really an issue for the California State Athletic Commission.
Well, somebody was listening because MMA Weekly is reporting that the [...]]]></description>

Shinya Aoki just might be the most cold-blooded fighter in MMA. The magic-panted grappler broke Mizuto Hirota&#8217;s arm &#8211; he snapped the humerus, to be precise &#8211; at Dynamite!! in Japan on Friday. It was the most messed-up sick hammerlock submission that did the damage. At the post-fight press conference, the DREAM lightweight champ and [...]]]></description>

Shinya Aoki and his magic grappling pants literally turns Mizuto Hirota into a pretzel before mangling his right arm during their Dynamite!! bout. Hirota&#8217;s left arm was also pinned, preventing him from [...]]]></description>

Well, now it seems the DREAM lightweight champ has set his sites significantly lower &#8211; on the Strikeforce lightweight division, in fact.

Now Strikeforce has smartly snapped up Zaromskis (13-3) and signed him to a multi-fight agreement, according to MMA Mania.
The 29-year-old Lithuanian has won five straight fights and nine of his last [...]]]></description>

While I was still feeling stunned by Mauricio &#8220;Shogun&#8221; Rua getting robbed at UFC 104, Overeem was making short work of James Thompson at DREAM 12 in Osaka, Japan.
