Three bouts were added Thursday to the Dream 5: Lightweight Grand Prix 2008 Final card taking place July 21 in Osaka, Japan.

Yoshihiro Akiyama, the 2006 K-1 Hero's 187-pound Grand Prix champion, will make his long-awaited DREAM debut with a tune-up fight against Katsuyori Shibata, a former pro wrestler on a four-fight losing streak.

Former Shooto champion Joachim Hansen, fresh off one of the best MMA fights of the year despite recording a loss to Eddie Alvarez at DREAM 3, will take on another lightweight bounced from the Grand Prix, Kultar "Black Mamba" Gill.

Kuniyoshi Hironaka returns to Japan after a failed stint with the UFC, where he recorded one win while suffering losses to Jon Fitch, Thiago Alves and Jonathan Goulet. Hironaka will fight the undefeated Motoki Miyazawa out of the GCM promotion.

Dream 5: Lightweight Grand Prix 2008 Final features the final round of the promotion's lightweight tournament. The winners of Tatsuya Kawajiri - Eddie Alvarez and Shinya Aoki - Caol Uno will square off at the end of the night to determine the DREAM 2008 Lightweight Grand Prix champion.
