|  Rumored: Dream MW GP 2nd Round Fights
Kazushi Sakuraba vs Melvin Manhoef
Zelg "Benkei" Galesik vs Kin Taiei
Ronaldo Jacare vs Jason "Mayhem" Miller
Dong Sik Yoon vs Gegard Mousasi
I've got a buddy that lives in Japan and these are the matchups being thrown around.
I also seen a sherdog thread pop up about this.
Again this is only speculation but they do make sense, just take them with a very large grain of salt.

I am pretty sure he said he broke his hand after fighting Funaki, thats why they inserted Mayhem into the mix. Thats what i remember reading from the post fight confence or the day after or something.
These fights are much better without Tamura imo anyway.
He could be wrong but thats just the rumors going around there in japan.
The fights should be announced any day now i would think.
Quintessential Studmuffin what are the matchups you've heard about.

actually Mayhem is already in the tournament, from what i remember Manhoef was a back up incase someone was injured...which im guessing is the case here.
if this is all true, the Mayhem/Jacare is going to be a barn burner!!!

Note to Dongbar - do not dive headfirst into a triangle choke.

Tamura vs Saku(was origianlly suppose to happen years ago when they were both pretty much on top of the MMA world in Japan)
Mayhem vs Kin
Mousasi vs Dong-Sik
Souza vs Galesic
Manhoef isnt in the tourney...atleast not in the moment,he's just a reserve.
