Although it has a tongue twister of a name, the “GSI presents DREAM 18 and GLORY 4 Tokyo – New Year’s Eve Special” card is taking shape nicely. Those of you who remember DREAM 17, know that Shinya Aoki was supposed to fight Antonio McKee on the card, but the bout never materialized. It seems DREAM officials are taking another crack at making the match-up, as Aoki and McKee have both agreed to face off on December 31 in Japan.
Also confirmed for the card were bouts between Bibiano Fernandes-Yoshiro Maeda, and Melvin Manhoef -Denis Kang.

Should be a good fight. I see Aoki tapping McKee out early though.
I’ll be sad if he doesn’t come out to Baka Survivor. One of my favorite entrance songs in MMA.
