MMA's Grappling sensation, Shinya Aoki will be back for the attack on September 25th. Aoki's opponent will be Marcus 'Maximus' Aurelio due to Aoki's failed attempts to entice current Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez to go to Japan for a rematch.

This will be Aoki's second fight since losing his American MMA debut in Strikeforce where he faced Melendez and got an education about what the competition is like in the States. Aoki's last victim was Tatsuya Kawajiri who he beat with a leg locks submission from which Kawajiri suffered an injury.

The Brazilian Aurelio is a veteran of the UFC who first made a name for himself fighting in Japan under the Pride Bushido banner.
