Dream 8 Starting To Take Shape
Shinya Aoki
FEG Dream 8, which is slated to feature the beginnings of the promotions Welterweight tournament so far has three names attached to the event. According the promotions website, Shinya Aoki, Hayato “Mach” Sakurai, and Ikuhisa “Minowaman” Minowa will be competing. Also rumored for the tournament, according to japan-mma.com, is the winner of a DEEP 40 bout between Hidetaka Monma and Seichi Ikemoto.
Aoki recently defeated Eddie Alvarez in a highly anticipated Lightweight battle on New Year’s Eve. Sakurai, has had problems in the past with making weight for the the promotions 154 pound lightweight division, so a move to Welterweight seems more natural for him. Ikemoto is currently the DEEP champion.
“Minowaman”’s scheduled bout will not be a part of the Welterweight tournament.

I wonder if WAMMA UPS’d his belt to him yet, and he has foughten @ WW before with some success so its no suprise that he wants to move and perhaps get another belt for his collection. I will be rather suprised if he can pull it off, he really needs to work on his standup he cant stay a great ground fighter forever he needs to evolve his game a bit more… DREAM 8 will probably be really fun to watch ive always enjoyed their shows… awww the days of PRIDE, anyways hopefully Aoki can do another gogo on this card I just enjoy it..
F~WAMMA
Totally agree with you fr702…. Dream puts on a good show for sure . Wonder if any guys from over here will sign up . For old times sake the UFC should send someone to represent them ….. how about j-kos, Brock Larson or condit ? That would be interesting .I could see Nick Diaz doing it if he didnt have the Shamrock thing on already .
Thank you Doom, and ya that would be really cool if some of the UFC guys could go for the tourney but hey perhaps StrikeForce would let the like of Sheilds go or something that would be awesome too
cool i hope shinya and hayato fight
