The DREAM.2 Middleweight Grand Prix tournament kicks off today, April 29, at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

The 16 man tournament features the return of Pride legend, Kazushi Sakuraba, as well as the highly anticipated rematch between Shinya Aoki and Gesias Calvancante that ended in controversy the first time around.

Unfortunately HDNet is not airing this event until Saturday, May 3, which is why we are not able to do the usual live play by play commentary. We will however have play by play commentary for all of the remaining DREAM events.
