Dream certainly puts on a great product. I really enjoy all the pageantry and celebration. The whole thing is so much more of a "feature event" than what we usually get in America, which seems so commercial by comparison.

The length of the event and the time slot are difficult, but as far as quality, you can't beat 12 quality fights in one event. This event, however, did suffer from some mismatches.
