Olympia DREAM 4 Full Event Play by Play Commentary
Shinya Aoki vs Katsuhiko Nagata (Lightweight Quarter Final Bout)
- Round 1: Aoki lands a nice little front kick. Nagata comes in with a combo and gets taken down. Nagata is quickly back to his feet but Aoki takes him right back to the canvas into side control. Aoki quickly and easily mounts Nagata. He lands a right hand and another. He covers Nagata’s mouth to cut off the oxygen. Nagata tries to buck but Aoki maintains control. Shinya lands a couple of good shots. He attempts to sink in a guillotine but can’t get it. He lands a couple more shots and continues to control. He sinks in a gogoplata from the top, pulls down on the head and forces Nagata to tap. That is the first gogoplata submission from the mount I have ever seen.

- Final Result: Shinya Aoki wins via Gogoplata at 5:12 in the 1st round.
Alistair Overheem vs Tae Hyun Lee (Heavyweight Bout)

Alavutdin Gadzhiev vs Ralek Gracie (Light Heavyweight Bout)
- Round 1: Both fighters come out tentative at first. They exchange and it is obvious that Gadzhiev has some power in his hands. Ralek comes in with a right and goes for a body lock. He tries to take down Gadzhiev but he gets reversed. Ralek escapes and gets pushed back down to the mat. Gracie goes in for the body lock and gets the takedown into side control. He immediately mounts and starts to pepper Gadzhiev with short shots. He steps over Gadzhiev’s right arm and extends the armbar. Gadzhiev taps and the fight is over. He immediately tries to deny that he tapped but it was extremely obvious.

Gegard Mousasi vs Dong Sik Yoon (Middleweight Quarter Final Bout)
Zelg Galesic vs Taiei Kin (Middleweight Quarter Final Bout)
- Round 1: Galesic comes right out and attacks. After a quick exchange they clinch against the ropes. Zelg lands a few good knees to the leg of Kin. Galesic unloads with a combo. He takes Kin down and Kin lands on his arm, bending it the opposite direction. Kin can’t continue and the fight is over. The replay is gruesome as you can clearly see Taiei’s arm bend completely the opposite way. Galesic is extremely upset that the fight has been stopped.

Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza vs Jason Miller (Middleweight Quarter Final Bout)
Kazushi Sakuraba vs Melvin Manhoef (Middleweight Quarter Final Bout)
- Round 1: The fighters come out very cautious showing tons of respect for each other. Manhoef unloads with a head kick and a right hand that has Saku scrambling for a leg. Manhoef unloads with a flurry of vicious punches. Manhoef drags Saku away from the ropes and continues his brutal assault. He unleashes with hammer fists as Saku tries to regain his composure and grab something to hold onto. Manhoef, relentless, unloads with 3 or 4 more bone shattering hammer fists and the ref steps in to save Saku from further damage. That was extremely hard to watch.
- Round 2:
- Final Result: Melvin Manhoef wins via TKO (Punches) at 1:30 in the 1st round.
