Following the confirmation of a Shinya Aoki vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri title fight, DREAM officials have unveiled a small list of other probables for their upcoming DREAM.15 event.

Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem, former Strikeforce light-heavyweight title-holder Gegard Mousasi and veteran striker Melvin Manhoef all have been tentatively slotted for the July 10 card.

DREAM.15 takes place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, and airs in North American on HDNet.

No opponents have been revealed for the trio of fighters.

As MMAjunkie.com (http://www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported, Mousasi competes in the organization's light-heavyweight grand prix. While initially organized as an eight-man tournament, DREAM officials ultimately reshuffled the tourney and limited it to a four-man field. The two winners from the July card are expected to meet in September to determine DREAM's first-ever light-heavyweight champ.

Mousasi (28-3-1 MMA, 6-0 DREAM) looks to rebound from a unanimous-decision title loss to Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal in April. It was the first loss in 16 fights and nearly four years for the Dutch-Armenian fighter. He fights in DREAM for the first time since New Year's Eve TKO of Gary Goodridge.

Overeem (33-11 MMA, 4-0 DREAM), meanwhile, recently defended his Strikeforce title with a first-round TKO of Brett Rogers earlier this month. It was Overeem's first title defense since winning the belt from Paul Buentello in late 2007. Between those two Strikeforce fights, Overeem picked up six consecutive stoppage victories in the DREAM and Ultimate Glory promotions. He also went 4-2 in K-1 competition in that time span.

Manhoef (24-7-1 MMA, 4-2 DREAM), who suffered a brutal knockout loss to Gokhan Saki at this past weekend's "It's Showtime" event in his native Netherlands, hasn't competed in MMA since a January Strikeforce loss to Robbie Lawler. After a 5-0 streak from mid-2007 to mid-2008, Manhoef is just 2-3 with additional losses to notables Mousasi and Paulo Filho. However, at DREAM's December "Dynamite!! 2009" event, he picked up an impressive first-round TKO of Kazuo Misaki.
