Even without his magical submission pants, DREAM lightweight champion Shinya Aoki proved he’s still got a few tricks tucked away somewhere in his fight gear.
The submission ace rebounded from a horrific loss in April to Gilbert Melendez in stunning fashion and submitted fellow Japanese superstar Tatsuya Kawajiri in less than two minutes.
The attraction served as the main event of DREAM.15, which aired live in North America on HDNet early Saturday morning. The card took place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
