DREAM.9 — which goes down tomorrow in Yokohama, and will be broadcast live on HDNet starting at 5 a.m. ET / 2 a.m. PT — is simply too epic for us not to liveblog. If you’ll be awake for some reason, swing by and find out how quickly/pathetically Jose Canseco gets his ass kicked by Hong Man Choi — as well as what happens with the rest of the Super Hulk Tournament opening round, the featherweight grand prix quarterfinals, and the Mayhem/Jacare middleweight title fight. If you’ll be sleeping like a normal person, just come over when you wake up and get caught up on all the insanity.

Weigh-in results are after the jump, courtesy of MMA Weekly.

I think Jose Canseco has a great chance!! He is in the prime of his life. He has shown a strong interest in learning the sport. And Personally, I feel he will have no trouble parlaying a commendable professional Boxing career into MMA greatness!

Hah! Can't wait to see the vid of Canseco getting smashed. I bet he collapses within 1 minute and just starts tapping the mat.

Its stuff like this that makes life worth living... :D

Mousasi X Hunt is gonna be very interesting.
Hunt's chance to (literally) bounce back as a notable K-1 product.

Choi is going to play wack-a-mole with Joses head it should be short and sweet.

A great card I hope to catch some of the ending.

Canseco is fucked! He signed up for this fight thinking MMA stood for "More Money for Assholes." Too bad.... You cant spell Canseco without "Can"
