During the intermission at Dream 4, Aoki, Kawajiri, Uno, and a representative for Alvarez drew for the lightweight GP finals. Here are the matchups:
Shinya Aoki vs. Caol Uno
Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Eddie Alvarez
I'm going to predict an Aoki/Alvarez final. Shinya's height, reach, and grappling game is going to cause problems for Uno. Eddie seems to really be breaking out in this tournament, and lightweight seems like a really good weight for him.
Regardless of the results, what looked to be a shaky GP has ended up with a very solid final four. Should be a good show.

![Shinya Aoki is amused by Tatsuya Kawajiri's challenge:
"I figured he would [call me out], but it made me laugh because his action was so predictable. During training, I told Caol Uno that I would borrow his words to retort if Kawajiri challenged me like that. Then, lo and behold, Kawajiri comes out dead serious. I just took it all in stride, because, come on, how did he think I would react? Kawajiri is so forthright, while I am just really devious. I think Kawajiri is a good fighter, so I can see myself fighting him; however, I do not know for sure yet. If I feel like fighting him, I will. But that’s something I decide — unfortunately, Kawajiri won’t have any say in the matter."
