The Japanese promotion, DREAM, makes its return tonight (May 29, 2011) in a special event, "Fight for Japan," at the Saitama Super Arena Hall in Saitama, Japan.
The event will be held in support of Japanese tsunami victims.
Headlining the main event will be a lightweight match up between top 10-ranked lightweight Shinya Aoki and UFC veteran Rich Clementi. There was a merry-go-round of opponents for Aoki in this event, but when the music stopped it was "No Love" who was awarded the high profile fight.
Also on the card will be an intriguing featherweight fight between Joachim Hansen and Mitsuhiro Kikuno, as well as a compelling lightweight bout as Katsunori Kikuno and Daisuke Nakamura square off.
The main card will also be the intermission between opening round of the 2011 DREAM Bantamweight Grand Prix and the semifinals, leading up to the finals for a later event.
The event will not be aired live in the United States, and instead, will air on tape delay on HDNet on June 3, so no play-by-play!
