This should be excellent.

So I guess Sengoku will be joining with DREAM before long? Well, at least their fighters will be anyway?

Shinya Aoki vs. Satoru Kitaoka
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Takanori Gomi
Alistair Overeem vs. Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett vs. Big Foot
Hidehiko Yoshida vs. Satoshi Ishii
Joachim Hansen vs. Maximo Blanco
Tim Sylvia vs. Hong Man Choi or Semmy Schilt
Eddie Alvarez vs. Mizuto Hirota
JZ Calvacante vs. Mitsuhiro Ishida
Melvin Manhoef vs. Mahmed Khalidov
Paulo Filho vs. Kazuo Misaki
Sergei Kharitonov vs. Blagoi Ivanov
Kazushi Sakuraba vs Ralek Gracie
Marius Zaromskis vs. Andrews Nakahara
Hayato Sakurai vs. Akihiro Gono
Kiyoshi Tamura vs. Sanae Kikuta
Alexandre Riberiro vs. Stanislav Nedkov
Masakatsu Funaki vs. Katsuyori Shibata
Ikuhisa Minowa vs. Sokoudjou
Jorge Santiago vs. Riki Fukuda
Zelg Galesic vs. Ninja Rua
Ryo Chonan vs. Dan Hornbuckle
Andre Galvao vs. Seichi Ikemoto
Bob Sapp vs. Travis Wiuff
Dave Herman vs. Kiss Nakao
Kazayuki Fujita vs. Mark Hunt
Kazunori Yokota vs. Jorge Masvidal
Katsunori Kikuna vs. Vitor Ribeiro
Antz Nansen vs. Kevin Randleman

Would be an epic card, but I dont think they are going to make 28 fights in just one night.

Overeem vs Barnett would an extraordinary match.
I would like to see Tim Sylvia vs Schilt (Yes, I want to see Sylvia KTFO again)
Bob Sapp vs Choi in a freak match
Arlovksy vs Big Foot would be good, but I am afraid Arlovksy will get KO again.

Sakuraba vs any Gracie is very worth watching
Fujita vs Hunt, good match, Iron chins collide.

GO MInowaman.

Kharitonov is a hell of a fighter and I really want to see him again.

Yoshida vs Ishii, well IMO Yoshida sucks in MMA, Ishii apparently has a great potential, so we will see. (If anybody here didnt know, just after winning the olympic medal Ishii called out Fedor to face him in MMA, but later he realized that he was still very far from Fedors level)

Kawajiri vs Gomi, very nice match, however I would have prefered Kawajiri vs Aoki, or even Aoki vs Gomi.

Not sure, but most people have wanted Masato vs Souwer for NYE for a long time now so It's still a good fight, Masato is 0-2 against Souwer so a one off superfight before he quits makes sense, has a chance to avenge the losses with no injury excuses, should be good.

Masato is scared of Giorgio Petrosyan. Everyone should be. Andy got messed up by Giorgio Petrosyan, and this is suppose to be a retirement fight, right?

Would be great for him to leave on a high note, avenging his loss...and there wouldn't be a better time to do it. Sower's last couple fights have been less impressive than his previous years performances. Masato vs Petrosyan would be dangerous to Masato's well being.

Yeah, I know they won't be adding all the fights for one night, but what I was saying was that these are fights that they could potentially put on the NYE card. So maybe it's like 8 or 10 or whatever, but these are all potential matchups "in theory". Best case scenario they'll do 10 or so bouts.
