It was a big night for the American contingent at the third card put on by the Japanese DREAM promotion, with Eddie Alvarez, Nick Diaz and Jason "Mayhem" Miller all scoring impressive wins Sunday before an announced crowd of 21,789 at the Saitama Super Arena.

The idea behind DREAM was to give the Japanese audience the new version of PRIDE, the popular promotion that collapsed due to a Yakuza scandal that cost the company its network television contract.

The card, which aired live in the U.S. on HDNet, had a lot of the PRIDE feel, with the same type of entrances, and the trademark 10-minute first round and five-minute second. The ring looks similar, and most of the shows are held in PRIDE's former home base in Saitama, a city just outside Tokyo.<
