"JZ" Cavalcante (14-3-1, 1 NC) vs. Daisuke Nakamura (20-10) added to DREAM.11 on October 6th

Also announced: Hong Man Choi (2-2) vs. Ikuhisa Minowa (42-30-8) in the semifinals of the Super Hulk Tournament. The other semifinalist, Sokoudjou (6-4), will face an opponent to be announced, "most likely a fighter who was in the first round of the tournament." Assuming Jose Canseco and Jan Nortje are out, that leaves Bob Sapp and Mark Hunt.

I don’t know about that.
=)

That is one interesting matchup between Nakamura and JZ. JZ should be able to over power Nakamura easily if he is back to 100%.

I’m down for Sokoudjou vs. King Mo. It’d be Mo’s first fight against someone who is actually close to being somewhat relevant.

Two Words

Mariusz Pudzianowski

He’d fit right in, and he wants to get into MMA. Perfect timing.

"I would say that he’s a little donkey that, he’s on steroids, he thinks he’s a running horse. But, he’s more like a little pony." - Gegard Mousasi on Paulo Filho

wow i never heard any where marius wanted to get into mma but shit if he really was serious of the if article was legit this really is a good start for him. shit its japan and its a “super hulk tourney” i think if he really wanted to fight he could literally pick guys up and slam them repeatedly til they gave up this guy is like a train

wow i did a little research and i just found out this guy was a pro boxer for a number of years and is a 4th degree black belt in some form of kyokushin? that alone with being the WSM for 5 years should get him in the tournament. i would looooove to see this guy fight

And yet the smart money will be on the shortie.

I guess the Super Hulk tournament isn’t too serious if they are thinking about bringing random dudes into the semis.

Is Sokoudjou really legitimate? He got ran out of the UFC, lost his one Affliction fight… beating the piss out of a giant fat guy doesn’t make up for that.

Why should we assume Jan Nortje is out? He lasted the longest of any of the other losers. It probably won’t be him since it would be a rematch, plus he’s less of a name than Sapp or Hunt, but he was the only one who lasted over 90 seconds.

Also, assuming Sokoudjou will probably win the tournament, Strikeforce should thank their lucky stars here. Sokoudjou is one of the few legitimate challengers at LHW they could still possibly sign to challenge Mousasi now.
