“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? If things go the way they should, I feel confident we’ll send a bunch of guys over.”

So assuming its an 8 man GP who have we got?
Aoki - If he isnt retired
Eddie Alvarez - Think he can fight in Japan
Melendez
Thompson
Crusher
JZ
Satoru Kitaoka - Open contract as far as I know
Mizuto Hirota - Sengoku at the min but a lot of Japanese contracts are open I think
Theres 8 that would make for an awsome tournament.
Hellboy - Might go back to 155 for such a big tournament seeing as Japan have lost a few of the good fighters at Fw.
Antonio McKee got released from the UFC but that guy still is a good fighter I reckon he would be a good possibility seeing as he isnt doing anything better!
Marcus Aurelio - under contract to Dream or his last fight was there against Aoki, isnt a bad fighter if they need to make up numbers
Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima - Bit of a wildcard but fuck it the guy sparked Aoki, Id like to see him in a tournament because he always has the KO power to put a favorite out early.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are just a few off the top of my head but with the tallent out there between SF and Dream im sure they will be able to pull off a great Grand Prix! Im glad its in Japan too beucase I really would love to see Melendez put through his paces fighting a couple of times in one night!
