If you still can't believe Shinya Aoki won via submission to PUNCHES at DREAM 18, watch it again right here...

DREAM never die -- it was just sleeping for a year from a really bad hangover. Last night at DREAM 18, Shinya Aoki hit Antonio McKee so hard that he tried to tap to air molecules. I couldn't believe it until I watched the replay several times. At first it appears that Shinya poked McKee in the eye, making him incapable of doing anything else aside from holding his face and backing up. However upon closer inspection it appears Aoki just caught McKee directly in the orbital, possibly breaking some fragile bone near his eyebrow. Based on my high school level of anatomy, there's no eyebrow bone that exists -- but if it does, Shinya just crushed McKee's into a gelatinous rubble.

You probably missed DREAM 18 since you believe sleep is more important than Japanese MMA. If it weren't New Year's Eve, I'll have the MMA commission remove your fan card from your possession. Consider this video of last night's DREAM 18 bout between McKee and Aoki a gift from your buds at MiddleEasy.

I'm a HUGE Aoki fan but his standup game is on the same level as Zombie Profit's baby.

Also: petitioning to bring back the magic pants.

The Japanese Ref is like, "Oh no you don't, we don't recognize tapping to strikes."

McKee is the new Bob Sapp.

CLEAR FIX google this Mckee's record..his record is too strong to tap strikes like that where he's clearly not even dazed...but disappointing shit like this still occurs nowadays in Japenese MMA...I've never seen a more clear 'go down in the 2nd then that' the amount of money Japenese Yakuza would have put on that filled Mckee's as much as there Samurai tattooed hands could hold

Yeah, at least get caught in a submission, but make sure aoki doesn't brake a limb. Aoki could be great at 125.

McKee is a tough fighter. It's surprising that he lost by strikes to Aoki in that fashion. But it wouldn't be the first time someone got an eye injury from punches that didn't look devastating. GPS injured Koscheck's eye with a jab.

I just had a dream with Ronda Rousey in it. I was attending a boxing match & they showed her on the big screen sitting in the audience. She was sitting normal watching what was going on in the ring. They only showed her for like 2 seconds. This is the first dream I've had with Ronda in it that I can remember. It feels good.

I'm not sure what it means if anything. She didn't notice that the camera was showing her on the big screen. I spend a lot of time wondering what people think of me. For the brief moments that they showed Ronda on the big screen she looked focused. Like she was studying what was going on in the ring. My goal for right now is to focus on what I need to do & not worry about things I can't control.

I probably won't be posting here as much for a while.

I think I'm the first to leave a comment on MiddleEasy in 2013. I'd like to thank Ronda for being in the dream which inspirited me to attain this accomplishment.

I think McKee tapped because he knew he didnt stand a chance against Aoki who already had his back with hooks in, not so much because of strikes
