DREAM import Shinya Aoki will get first crack at newly-crowned lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez when the Japanese submission fighter makes his stateside debut on the main card of the upcoming Strikeforce event planned for April 17 on CBS.

Josh Gross of SI.com tweeted the proposed match-up (http://twitter.com/Si_joshgross) earlier today.

The bout is expected to serve as one of three championship contests on the promotion's upcoming trip to Nashville for "Saturday Night Fights" on CBS. While "El Nino" is putting his strap on the line, "The Tobikan Judan" will reportedly keep his title safe and sound back in DREAM.

Melendez (17-2) has been electric since falling to Josh Thomson in June of 2008. In addition to TKO wins over Rodrigo Damm and Mitsuhiro Ishida, the former PRIDE and Shooto standout avenged his loss to "The Punk" at last December's "Evolution" card from San Jose, taking the 155-pound title in the process.

The California native has been vocal about bringing Aoki to the States in order to test himself against the grappling wizard and cement himself as one of the world's top lightweights.

WAR Gilbert!!

Vind Aoki z'n houding niet zo. Altijd wel zieke submissions daar niet van. Echter denk ik dat Gilbert hem ko slaat.

ko winst voor melendez. Met dat guard pullen komt hij bij melendez echt niet weg. Staand gaat Aoki het never nooit niet winnen.

Ik blijf Aoki graag bezig zien, dus ik hoop dat Aoki ook hier een winstpartij uit sleurt..

"When I had his arm behind his back, I could feel it popping, I thought, 'Well, this guy's pride just won't let him tap, will it?' So without hesitation, I broke it. I heard it break, and I thought, 'Ah, there, I just broke it.' I was stopped afterward, but even if I hadn't been, continuing to break it more would have been fine by me."[21]
"After my fight, I was excited, and so I did something rude that I should apologize for. But that showed just how excited I was over that fight."

@ kooivechter,

hij kan wel iets meer dan alleen gaurd pullen, vandaar dat ie ook de naam: Tobikan Judan draagt.

Dat dacht men ook bij Alvarez en ik schat Alvarez hoger in dan Melendez. Aoki by Flying ARMTRIANGLE!

Juist.

Tevens lag Hellboy 1 van de 2 partijen met Aoki ook gewoon in de armbar. En ook Hellboy schat ik een stuk hoger in dan Melendez.

Aoki zal zijn magic pants helaas thuis laten:


"I appreciate the offer of a title match - I am genuinely happy. Having always claimed that Japan is at the top of the MMA world, I have no choice but to go compete in the US. I will just step right in and walk right out with submission victory and prove that the DREAM champion is the number one in the world. I will restore the glory of Pride's heyday to DREAM. I will greet you all with a belt next time. Gilbert Melendez is the Strikeforce champion and therefore a world class fighter. I consider myself a top fighter in the world, so he is a very attractive opponent. I think our fight will leave both Japanese and American fans fully sated. Though Strikeforce rule allows elbow strike on the feet, it is not a radical change (from Pride and DREAM rules). I will be fighting in a cage for the first time, but I watch a lot of fights that take place in the cage and my level of geekery in the realm is peerless among Japanese fighters. Besides, my skillset trancends the ring/cage barrier, and I always have my eyes on the world. Yes, I will have to take off my tights. I think the prospect of being able to see my bare legs is attractive, so I want the fans to come all the way to the US for it."

Dit is goed nieuws! Aoki kan zijn meesterschap nu ook in de states tonen. Die laatste quote is trouwens erg mooi!

Tegen BJ is pas de echt test.

Melendez is by far even goed als BJ.
