    Potential Strikeforce/Dream LW Tourney

    Dream co-producer Real Entertainment (ex-DSE staff) plans on forging ahead in the turbulent Japanese mixed martial arts promotion business with an eight-fighter lightweight tournament starting in May, sources tell ESPN.com.

    The field would consist of Strikeforce and Real Entertainment fighters.

    "We're committed to keeping our fighters active, but if we can help Dream and have our fighters go over there and participate in their tournament, why not?" said Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker.
    Potential fighters include Aoki, Kawajiri, Kikuno, Melendez, Thomson, Noons, JZ, Masvidal, Wilcox and Fancypants. I really hope this actually happens.

    my buddy and I were just designing a bracket for our fantasy LW UFC tourney to try and resolve this top contender issue they're having. It would be epic

    Interesting, I wonder if StrikeForce would let a guy like Melendez fight potentially 3 times in a row for DREAM. That could be only 2 cards if they make they semi-finals and final in the same night like DREAM has done in the past tournamnets

    Not bad, I like these tournament ideas. If these things actually play out how they're planned out they should be awesome.
