Kazushi Sakuraba will participate in DREAM.11 - details forthcoming.
UPDATE #1 - Alright, so, even though we're three days from the event, Saku's opponent has not been announced - only the fact that he'll participate. We'll have to find out some time in the next 48 hours, since there's a public weigh-in on Monday.
In the video - which is apparently a parody of the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion - Saku is told that he'll face Katsuyori Shibata, then a gaijin (foreigner), then Funaki (at which he laughs). The video is left off "to be continued."

Watch the video, except, pretend he is sitting on the crapper…get back at me and tell me if you guys though it was as funny as I did.

Is Sakuraba imitating famous anime character SHINJI?
from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
It certainly appears so. Starting @ 1:28, he seems like saying “I Can Do It … I Can Do it” to himself. Well, that’s my only assumption.

I’m told it’s something like “I must not run” or “I cannot escape,” which is why most thought he’d fight in the cage at DREAM.12.
Sportsnavi does say the video is a parody of Neon Genesis Evangelion. (Thanks for confirming, I’ve never seen it.)
Well if they are aping Evangelion
We have a disappointing conclusion awaiting us.

I would have said that Shibata is an ideal opponent
But that cad had to go and actually beat Minowa, so I just don’t know. It would almost certainly be an entertaining bout, though.

I think the same could be said for the man himself…he’s just not stopping.
