The Fight That Has Over A Decade Of History Behind It! Sakuraba Vs. Tamura…
Four fights were announced for FieLDS Dynamite!! today. Kazushi Sakuraba will take on Kiyoshi Tamura in a Middleweight fight that has a lot of history behind it. Joachim Hansen will fight J.Z. Calvan in a top Lightweight fight. Finally, the two semifinals of the K-1 Koshien tournament were also announced to take place at Dynamite!!
Update: It seems that the event finally has a name. FieLDS Dynamite!! ~Yuuki no Chikara 2008~
Yuuki no Chikara = Power of Courage
Update #2: Hansen vs. Calvan is a non-title fight.
Update #3: Sakuraba made some demands on the rules of the fight. He wants a no time-limit fight with open-hand punches.
DREAM event producer Sasahara said that it is difficult to not have a time restriction because of the live telecast. However, he did suggest preparing a special rule with Sakuraba’s demands in mind.
Update #4: The plan is for the event to consist of 10 MMA fights and 6-7 K-1 fights (K-1 Koshien included).
Update #5: It looks like the final fight of the K-1 Koshien tournament will also take place in the same event. Watch the latest uploaded Kakutou Ou for a preview and a look into the lives of the final 4.
Update #6: Here is the video that was shown on the big screen at the first Dynamite!! press conference. It is awesome.

I don't know how accurate this is, but there are killer fights on this card.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
what about that olympic gold medalist in judo, wasn't he supposed to debut on this card? I apologize for forgetting his name.
Satoshi Ishii, he will address the audience during the event, but he isn't making his debut until sometime next year.
Something tells me there are going to be more big lightweight matchups announced. Alvarez, Diaz, Aoki, Shaolin, Uno, Kawajiri, Ishida and Dida could all fight on this card

it doesn't really matter, Sean Sherk would kick all their asses anyway.

It is really sucky that Hansen vs. JZ is a non-title fight. I can understand giving the first title shot to Eddie Alvarez, but if you are gonna set up the damn Hansen-JZ fight, it has got to be a title fight.
Either way, a good start to what is likely to be another great DREAM (/K-1) card.
