Dream ‘Genki Desu Ka!’ New Year's Eve card goes down at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Headlining the card is the return of Fedor Emelianenko to Japan since December 31, 2007. His opponent is 2008 Judo Olympic gold medalist Satoshi Ishii, who currently resides in California to train at Mark Munoz's Reign Training Center.
Also on the card is the featherweight title fight of Hiroyuki Takaya vs. Takeshi "Lion" Inoue, the lightweight title fight of Shinya Aoki vs. Satoru Kitaoka, and the bantamweight Grand Prix.
It's that time of year again. People will wait for the ball at Times Square to drop, some will over-do it on the champagne, make resolutions that will last all of five minutes and a man known to the MMA world as “The Last Emperor” will have his annual pilgrimage to Japan to claim someone's soul.
Shinya Aoki (29-5-1nc) is set to make his 5th appearance on a year end fight card, this time against Satoru Kitaoka (29-10-9 draws).
Both fighter's fought and won their respective matches on their last outing in September on Dream 17.
