Aoki is considered one of the best ground fighters in japan in his weight class, and has excellent BJJ. He's the current Shooto Middleweight Champ. He's a solid up and comer and will give Jason Black a real test.
Melendez/Obiya should also be a good match up. 2 young LW champs from 2 smaller orgs. Both come in undefeated. Melendez wins are a little more impressive, but Obiya is no slouch. Obiya trains with Gomi also, so he has that going for him.
I see your point about Hendo and Misaki 2. I don't care to see a rematch this soon, but the 1st fight wasn't that bad. I don't think it deserved an immediate rematch.
Hendo vs Kang would be nice, but I really like the potential of Kang vs Suloev.
I know you aren't a "UFC Nuthugger" Alvin. I was never implying Boone was either, he's a true MMA fan that supports all organizations, as do most of us. Now that they have added Minowa vs Butterbean to the card you guys have a reason to complain though. heh
