Philadelphia's favorite son Eddie Alvarez (Pictures) will square off against the
aggressive Tatsuya
Kawajiri (Pictures) at Dream 5 on July 21 at the
Osaka Dome in Osaka, Japan, as announced during a HDNet telecast of
Dream 4 from the Yokohama Arena on Sunday.
The lone American left standing in the burgeoning promotion's lightweight grand prix, Alvarez advanced to the semifinals following an impressive unanimous decision victory over world-ranked competitor Joachim Hansen (Pictures) at Dream 3 on May 11.
In the opposite bracket, Japanese legend Caol Uno (Pictures) will face the wily Shinya Aoki (Pictures), who earned his semifinal slot with an inventive mounted gogoplata submission over Katsuhiko Nagata (Pictures) at Sunday's event. Uno topped bright upstart Mitsuhiro Ishida (Pictures) via a second-round rear-naked choke submission at Dream 3 to advance himself.
