Not a rumor anymore. The rematch will take place on the Middleweight Tournament show on April 29. Its official from Dream, as giguer pointed out. Here's a story from Adam Morgan
Quote:
DREAM officially announced the second round matchups for their lightweight tournament at DREAM 3 as well as a rematch between Gesias JZ Calvancante and Shinya Aoki to take place at DREAM 2 just two weeks prior to DREAM 3. The first fight between the two was ruled a no contest after JZ allegedly landed illegal elbows to the back of Aokis head/neck area. Upon review of the replay the elbows look completely legal to me, but what do I know. Anyways, instead of DQing Calvancante, they ruled it a no contest and here we are with a rematch, something I think we all wanted to see.
The winner of that fight will take on Katsuhiko Nagata, the Olympic silver medalist at DREAM 3. There are also some other great matchups for the second round of the tournament and they are as follows:
DREAM 3 @ Saitama Super Arena
May 11. 2008
Lightweight Grand Prix Second Round:
* Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Luis Buscape
* Joachim Hansen vs. Eddie Alvarez
* Mitsuhiro Ishida vs. Caol Uno
* Katsuhiko Nagata vs. Winner of Aoki/Calvancante
|
Props to Dream for not just advancing Aoki as many including myself thought might happen. But the two weeks to prepare for the second round will certainly not be easy. I could envision Aoki taking a ton of damage yet pulling off the submission. Then having to come back in just two weeks. I can envision it, but it won't happen. JZ will take him out.

Thanks for the update guys.
JZ better win. He was well on his way last time but Aoki went into acting mode.  |

An easy way to eliminate one of the more dangerous gaijin from the tourney.

Looks like another quality card. Aoki is really in trouble this time imo.

Whoever wins has to fight like 2 weeks later at Dream.3 thats going to be tough...and pretty not possible. Why exactly did Uno just get to skip the first round...and what happened with Vitor Riberio fighting in the tourney?

I think that is a good thing. Both guys should come out and try to end this quick. I would expect a JZ win, hes so much better then Aoki standing.

On a recent interview at DREAM official HP.
"On April 29th I'll win but on May 11th I won't fight! It's not my convenience but theirs. I'm not a good person to suit so much convenience of theirs. I don't think about next match at all. But if I win shortly and it suit my convenience, I may fight. That's all."

JZ is pissed off and that is bad news for Aoki.
