Earlier this week, we reported that Aoki may be out of the DREAM Tournament, and JZ may be his replacement (you can see the original story here http://mmatrivia.blogspot.com/2008/05/rumor-aoki-possibly-unable-to-continue.html)
After almost a week of deliberation, the DREAM executives have decided to allow Aoki to fight, but only after he has served his medical suspension. This means that the fight between Aoki and opponent Katsuhiko Nagata will take place in June at DREAM 4.

RUMOR: Aoki Possibly Unable to Continue in DREAM Tournament
It is widely believed that Shinya Aoki may have sustained an injury in yesterday's fight, forcing him out of the next round of the tournament.
Aoki reportedly suffered a facial injury which may need treatment. If this is the case, he will not be cleared to fight at the next stage. It is thought that Gesias "JZ" Calvancante, who Aoki fought when he received this injury, has been asked to replace him, but has not agreed to terms with the promotion.
We are still searching for citation for these rumors, and will bring you an update as soon as we get it.
