Filed under: DREAM, Strikeforce, FanHouse Exclusive, News, Japan

The long-rumored rematch between Strikeforce lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez and DREAM lightweight champion Shinya Aoki will not be taking place at Fighting and Entertainment Group's Dec. 31 Dynamite!! 2010 show in Japan.

MMA Fighting confirmed the news with FEG USA's Mike Kogan and Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker.

But Falcao insists he's none of those things and will shortly be known by another tag: top middleweight contender.
