This Dream card is looking pretty intriguing. Besides the return of Yamamoto, you've got a tremendous fight in Aoki vs. Cavalcante and several other good matchups. It's almost enough to make me forgive the fact that they are televising the public beating of Jose Canseco. The lineup, per BloodyElbow.com:
