CBS Sports To Air DREAM 18 Via Tape Delay

In years gone by HDNet (now AXS:TV) have aired DREAM’s end of year event, but this year it’ll be CBS Sports Network who take the reigns.

CBS Sports aren’t going to air the show live however, with a tape delay being planned instead that’ll air at 10pm on New Years Eve, then again at 2am, and a further re-run at 10pm on January 1st.

Former PRIDE and current Strikeforce commentator Mauro Ranallo will announce the action which features the traditional mix of MMA and kickboxing bouts we’ve come to expect from this New Years Eve extravaganza.

The likes of Shinya Aoki, Bibiano Fernandes, Melvin Manhoef and Michihiro Omigawa have been lined up for the MMA portion of the card, while it’s an all-star line-up for the heavyweight kickboxing tournament featuring the likes of Peter Aerts, Semmy Schilt and Remy Bonjasky.

Ross launched MMA Insight (previously FightOfTheNight.com) in 2009 as a way to channel his passion for the sport of mixed martial arts. He's since penned countless news stories and live fight reports along with dozens of feature articles as the lead writer for the site, reaching millions of fans in the process.
