he seemed to take a LOT of unecessary hits there. i still dont like prides ring setup or their rules really. kick/knee to head, four points, standing...too much to think about in a fight

I sure love me some Sakurai! Almost every fight had knees to the head in the event, definitely legal. Check out the Vitor Ribeiro vs Katsuhiko Nagata fight, those were some savage knees.

mach ran a friggin train on aoki. hopefully, mach will do the same to the rest of the field.

aoki cries everytime he loses, grow up!!!

This will be ruled a NC seeing how Sakurai cheated. The rules clearly state no stomps, or kness to a downed person. That is why Aoki is pissed.

Knees, Elbows, Stomps & Soccer Kicks

Stomps and soccer kicks to the head of a grounded opponent are not allowed, but they are allowed to the rest of the body. Though if both fighters are on the ground, they are allowed to the head.
Elbows to the head are not allowed.
Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are allowed.
If there is a 15 kg or more weight difference between the fighters knees to the head of a grounded opponent are not allowed.
Ground position in DREAM means a three point position (both feet and one hand). So for example, if a fighter has both knees and one hand on the floor, then no kicks to the head are allowed.

You obviously don't know mma as well as you think you do...

Wow, Aoki did not handle that loss well (end of video)

Someone call a medic for Mr. Aoki.
