Something sticks out like a sore thumb from DREAM.15's official weigh-ins; Jake O'Brien still hasn't made weight. JOB, who formerly fought in the UFC as a Heavyweight and is probably most well-known for his loss to Andrei Arlovski was slated to fight Gegard Mousasi in a mini-tournament to decide the DREAM Light Heavyweight Champion.

So who is called upon? Super Ricco Rodriguez.

This will be a situation to keep your eye on. Of course, it is interesting that Ricco is being called on to drop to 205lbs to fight Mousasi, as Ricco has been known for his battles with substance abuse and weight problems. If Ricco can make 205 it is actually a small victory in and of itself.

They should just pick a can to fight Mousasi. Everybody knows this thing was set-up for a Manhoef/Gegard rematch in the finals.

"What pissed me off is that I’m Little Floyd’s father, They’re showing on TV him talking about this loyalty to Roger. F—- Roger! I’m his daddy. His loyalty should always be with me. I’m the reason he’s here today. I gave him life. Now he’s got Leonard Ellerbe and Roger sucking up to him. They’re just around to rip him off. He’s going to find out just like he did before."
