DREAM 10 weigh in results for welterweight grand prix and more

by Stefan Manojlovic on Jul 19, 2009 11:19 AM EDT

Japan’s Fighting & Entertainment Group (FEG) held the weigh-ins today for its DREAM 10 event, which is set to go down from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, on July 20.

Hayato "Mach" Sakurai missed weight twice today; however, the good news is that he was able to hit the mark on his third and final attempt. It marks the second time in a row "Mach" has tipped the scales overweight -- he had similar problems this past April at DREAM 8.

Everyone else on the card made weight and are locks for the event.

Here are the official weigh-in results for DREAM 10 (converted from kilograms to pounds):

Welterweight Grand Prix semifinals:
Andre Galvao (167.2) vs. Jason High (167.2)
Hayato Sakurai (167.2)* vs. Marius Zaromskis (166.8)

Welterweight Grand Prix reserve bout:
Seichi Ikemoto (166.8) vs. Tarec Saffiedine (166.8)

Non-tournament bouts:
Shinya Aoki (153.6) vs. Vitor Ribeiro (153.8)
Jesse Taylor (184.4) vs. Dong Sik-Yoon (184.8)
Paulo Filho (184.8) vs. Melvin Manhoef (184.4)
Andre Amade (154) vs. Katsunori Kikuno (154)

*Sakurai made weight on his third attempt.

DREAM 10 will be broadcast stateside early Monday morning on HDNet at 3 a.m. ET and an encore presentation is set for next Friday, July 24, at 10 p.m. ET.

It will, of course, feature the promotion’s welterweight grand prix tournament, which will come to its conclusion with the semifinals and finals set to all go down in the same night. Sakurai is the pre-tournament favorite -- he'll do battle with Cage Veteran Marius Zaromskis, while on the other side of the brackets will be jiu-jitsu ace Andre Galvao locking horns with Jason High.

Also in non-tournament action in a battle of lightweight standouts and jiu-jitsu phenoms will be Shinya Aoki up against Vitor Ribeiro. And former WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho will make a return to action as well, he takes on Dutch bruiser Melvin Manhoef in what should present an interesting styles clash.

Be sure to check back tomorrow morning for our complete recap. In the meantime, get up to speed on all things DREAM right here.

JT is too strong, with too good of a wrestling base for dongbars.

I got money on Manhoef, Rebeiro, and JT Money… Opinions?

Shaolin is a lock- great multiplier for parlay or even great as a straight moneyline play. Yoon has too much grit and is himself very strong. He won’t get muscled around like people think. JT’s style probly won’t translate as good in the ring too. Clinch positions will heavily favor the Donger whose judo is way more legit than JT’s wrestling. Manhoef has some value here but is always a liability. He’s a fast starter so i like him in this fight. But Filho is looking pretty good comin in and if it hits the ground then your parlay just got f’d so i would play him straight.

There is a reason why he’s a +500 underdog. He was good in Europe coz he fought mainly scrubs. The one good guys he’s fought Che Mills from TUF9 beat up bad twice. Don’t waste your money!
