Japan’s Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG) has announced that WAMMA
lightweight champion Shinya Aoki is set to do battle with DREAM 2008 lightweight
grand prix winner Joachim Hansen for the promotions Lightweight strap at ‘DREAM
10’ from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama Japan, on July 20.
This will be the third showdown between the pair.
Their first meeting would go down at ‘Pride Shockwave 2006’ which would see
“Hellboy” succumb to the ground game of the “Tobikan Judan” and become part of
the ever growing highlight reel of Aoki’s by being victimized via gogoplata.
However the second encounter would go a little differently.
They would end up facing off again in the DREAM Lightweight Tournament Final
at ‘DREAM 5’ last July.
Aoki was trying to work his ground game as usual, when Hansen decided he
wanted no part of it and got back to his feet and threw a earth shattering left
punch to the jaw of the still grounded Aoki. This would leave him dazed and
prepped for more punishment courtesy of some nasty strikes forcing the referee
to jump in and save the helpless victim.

I really think that Aoki getting KO'd in 2 of his last 3-4 fights makes the WAMMA belt seem meaningless. Lets see if Hansen knocks him out again.
