Of the ten battles from last night’s, um, early morning’s, er, middle-of-the-night’s, uh, God-forsaken-hour’s DREAM.9, there wasn’t too much to write home about — and who actually writes home these days anyway? The main event saw a disappointing no contest because of an accidental kick from “Mayhem” Miller to a downed Ronaldo Souza’s head. Elsewhere, Bob Sapp was heel hooked by Minowa, “The African Assassin” punished Jan “The Giant” Nortje — even after the bell– and Jose Canseco proved that training actually does help on occasion.

Here are the results:

– Jason “Mayhem” Miller vs. Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza (result: no contest)
– Joe Warren defeats Norifumi “Kid Yamamoto (split decision)
– Bibiano Fernandes defeats Masakazu Iminari (unanimous decision)
– Hiroyuki Takaya defeats Yoshiro Maeda (TKO by strikes – Round 1)
– Hideo Tokoro defeats Abel Cullum (submission by rear-naked choke – Round 2)
– Tatsuya Kawajiri defeats Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante (unanimous decision)
– Gegard Mousasi defeats Mark Hunt (submission by arm bar – Round 1)
– Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou defeats Jan Nortje (TKO by strikes – Round 1)
– Hong Man Choi defeats Jose Canseco (submission by strikes – Round 1)
– Ikuhisa Minowa defeats Bob Sapp (submission by heel hook – Round 1)
