Calvancanti

Besides his astounding fighting ability, Gesias "JZ" Calvancante has another advantage going into DREAM's all-star lightweight tournament that kicks off Saturday night in Saitama, Japan — he's already faced three of the guys in the bracket. JZ scored a first-round TKO of Hidetaka Monma at K-1 Hero's 5 in May 2006, knocked off Andre "Dida" Amade last September to win the K-1 Hero's 2007 middleweight tournament, and ate his only loss via a decision to Joachim Hansen at a Shooto match in 2004. Here's his meeting with Dida, which went from wild slugfest to JZ's usual assault-from above, ending with a brutal armbar. Below that is Calvancante's opening-round match against Vitor Ribeiro from the same night, in which Shaolin was utterly dominated in 35 seconds.
