    Katsunori Kikuno vs. Eddie Alvarez
    Parky vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka
    Melvin Manhoef vs. Zelg Galesic
    Yoon Dong Sik vs. Paulo Filho
    Yoshiro Maeda vs. Chase Beebe

    Decent card so far, a good main event fight and a few other fights could turn this into a pretty good card.

    Ive never seen Alvarez opponet but judging off his resume looks like a badass, Maeda vs Beebe should be exicting im kinda rooting for Beebe he has 4 straight losses a few of them pretty questionable, Zelg and Manhoef should be exicting and I couldnt give a **** about Filho vs Sik unless Filho shows up in shape.

    Kikuno is a talented upcoming fighter, I fancy Alvarez to take it though.

    Rough break for Galesic; all that time off and he has to come back and fight Manhoef.

    Filho should handle business without much hassle.

    I only know Maeda, Filho and Manhoef. :oops:

    What's the skinny on the rest? Are these good match-ups?

    Well you are a WEC fan you should know Chase Beebe (Maeda's opponet) Beebe is a 4 time State Wrestling Champion and briefly held the WEC Bantamweight Title beating Eddie Wineland and defending successfully agianst Rani Yahya. However he was destroyed by Miguel Torres and lost his belt then lost a close decision to Will Ribero, was IMO beating Joe Warren in Dream until he got injured and then last weekend was robbed in Virginia vs Mike Easton (Beebe dominated the entire fight) since then the athletic commison actually changed the result to a no contest.

    Yoon Don Sik is a top level Judo player and even armbared Manhoef but his record is like 4-7 as he has been thrown to the wolves hes lost to Sakuraba, Rampage, Bustamante, Mousasi and others. I cant pretend to know anything about the Zelg guy all I seen of him was getting submitted by Jacare.

    Manhoef has pulled out due to injury, Sakuraba is the replacement. It's a shame as Manhoef vs Zelg was one of the best fights planned for this card. A few more fights have been added but nothing interesting. Its not a good card at all, Dream need to step it up. Not expecting Overeem to fight anyone decent with less then a week left. They couldn't even find a good opponent for their WW Champ Zaromskis.:patsch

    Updated card:

    Katsunori Kikuno vs. Eddie Alvarez
    Parky vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka
    Marius Zaromskis vs. Myeon Ho Bae (Non-title fight)
    Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Zelg “Benkei” Galesic
    Yoon Dong Sik vs. Paulo Filho
    Katsuyori Shibata vs. Tokimitsu Ishizawa
    Yoshiro Maeda vs. Chase Beebe
    Keisuke Fujiwara vs. Tomoya Miyashita
    Alistair Overeem vs. TBA

    Ah FFS lost interst in this card. And why the hell is Overeem on it? Why isnt his ass in Strikeforce? TBA?!?!? Are you serious?

    And Zeig either smashes Sakuraba to smithereens or Sakurba pulls a quick sub. Pretty pointless bout.

    I've read the same too. Overeem has taken 2 pointless fights in a matter of a week. He would have been better off resting/preparing for the K-1 world GP finals.
