DREAM Lightweight Champion Shinya Aoki to fight in ONE FC in 2012
Our ONE FC Insider The Coffee Boy has another great ONE FC themed article:
One Fighting Championship recently announced on its Facebook fan page that Shinya Aoki, the DREAM Lightweight Champion, will be fighting at one of their events later this year:
“NEWS ALERT: DREAM Lightweight World Champion Shinya Aoki will be competing at ONE Fighting Championship later in 2012. The ONE FC and DREAM partnership is stronger than ever!”
This comes as no surprise as One FC and DREAM recently announced their strategic partnership, which includes the co-promoting of events and fighters. The announcement has certainly made fans excited, and this is so far one of the bigger announcements One FC has made thus far in terms of bringing in world-class fighters to the organization.
Shinya Aoki is no stranger to mixed martial arts, and has fought on some of the biggest stages of this era, which include DREAM, Deep, Shooto, and Pride FC. Shinya Aoki is the reigningDREAM Lightweight Champion after defeating Joachim Hansen back in 2009. He has since successfully defended the title against Tatsuya Kawajiri and Satoru Kitaoka.
Known mostly for his wicked submission skills (19 wins by submission), he has defeated world class mixed martial artists including Tatsuya Kawajiri, Eddie Alvarez, Rich Clementi, andAkira Kikuchi.
Shinya Aoki, who is currently riding a 7 – fight win streak, is scheduled for a rematch againstformer Bellator Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez this coming April. Stay tuned for more news and updates on Shinya Aoki and One Fighting Championship.
