DREAM.14 recap: Diaz submits Sakurai in first; Gracie decisions Sakuraba

While Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz may soon find
himself facing disciplinary sanctions in the U.S. for his role in
April’s “Strikeforce: Nashville” post-fight melee, the hot-tempered
Cesar Gracie fighter isn’t waiting on the sidelines in the interim.

To the contrary, Diaz continued his recent dominant ways with a
first-round finish of Japanese legend Hayato “Mach” Sakurai in
the main event of DREAM.14.

DREAM.14 took place Saturday at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama,
Japan. The broadcast aired live in North American on HDNet early
Saturday morning.
