SAKURABA ADDED TO DREAM 11

It’s been nearly a year since Kazushi Sakuraba last set foot in a ring to fight. On Saturday, Dream announced, with just three days of notice, that the “Gracie Hunter” would finally make his return at Dream 11 on Tuesday.

The promotion has yet to announce an opponent for the longtime Pride mainstay, but the announcement is expected to come sometime on Sunday.

Sakuraba fought three times in 2008, going 1-2. He defeated Andrews Nakahara in his first bout of 2008, but then skidded out losing to Melvin Manhoef and Japanese dream fight with Kiyoshi Timura.

Having gone through several brutal bouts with the likes of Wanderlei Silva and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic, at 40 years of age, the prognostications for Sakuraba’s retirement have come more and more frequent. He needs a win badly and perhaps more importantly, he needs to come out unscathed.

Dream 11 features a lightweight championship bout between titleholder Joachim Hansen and Shinya Aoki, the finals of the Featherweight Grand Prix, and the semi-final round of the Openweight Super Hulk Tournament. It airs in the United States on HDNet.
