Dream continues to craft it's card and has added some big name talent to the bill with Mirko Filipovic taking on Alistair Overeem. Both fighters have had an up and down career of late but this bout is expected to be as entertaining a fight as we will see as both fighters like to stand and strike on the feet.
Kharitonov, one of the best heavyweights outside of the UFC will look to take a step up against kickboxer/mma fighter Might Mo. Mo is a popular kickboxer but his lack of MMA experience may come to play in a fight that Kharitonov is expected to dominate.
The middleweight tournament will also come to a head with Jacare taking on super striker Zelg Galesic, and Manhoef facing off Gegard Mousasi who was a surprise winner over Denis Kang. The winner of both of these bouts will face off against each other in the same day tournament finale with the winner being crowned the grand prix champion.
The announced bouts are as follows.
Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic vs. Alistair Overeem
Sergei Kharitonov vs. Mighty Mo
Yoon Dong Sik vs. Andrews Nakahara
Hideo Tokoro vs. Atsushi Yamamoto
