The Ultimate Fighter 8?s Shane Nelson has replaced fellow UFC veteran Antonio McKee and will face DREAM lightweight champion Shinya Aoki at ?DREAM 17: Fight for Japan? on May 29 in Saitama, Japan, MMAjunkie reports.
Nelson (13-5) was cut by the UFC after losses to Aaron Riley and Matt Wiman dropped him to 2-2 inside the Octagon, but bounced back over Jai Bradney in Australia in March.
Aoki (27-5) submitted Lyle Beerbohm in 93-seconds at Strikeforce in April for his fourth-straight win.
DREAM 17 kicks off the promotion?s bantamweight grand prix and also features Joachim Hansen vs. Mitsuhiro Ishida and Caol Uno vs. Akiyo ?Wicky? Nishiura.
