That card is worth checking out simply to see Norifumi alone! I'm pumped to see Kid back in action!

don't know how reliable this is, because i found it on sherdog here , but apparently the japanese yahoo sports site announces a few more participants.. so i would just take it as rumors for now, but who knows..
so besides everything you already put, there's a possibility of:
-Kazuyuki Miyata vs Harvey Harra (mw tourney reserve bout)
-Sergei Kharitonov vs TBA
-Melvin Manhoef vs TBA
-Yoshihiro Akiyama vs TBA
i don't know if akiyama is really back, but they have a link to a story about his apology and how hero's is going to find him an opponent.. i can't read japanese though
other rumored participants:
-Denis Kang
-Marcelo Garcia
-Alistair Overeem (who i guess was said to be fighting sergei)
-Rameau Sokoudojou
i don't know the likeliness of seeing any of them on this card or what their contract status is, but that is what i hear.. take it how you will

Did Kang sign with K-1? That'd be a bummer for the UFC. They need another legit Middleweight or three.

as far as i know, nothing is official, but i remember reading somewhere that dana wasn't interested in kang anyway.. he said he wasn't a top middleweight.. so i doubt the UFC would pick him up anyway

Kang, not in the top teir of middleweights? I don't know how Dana could say something like that with the anemic 185lbs division he has now...
Sometimes it makes you wonder... When Kang was on the Beatdown a couple months ago, he said he def still wanted to be able to fight in Spirit MC (huge korean fanbase etc), and I see that clashing with UFC's exclusive clause... Therefore since Dana can't sign him under those terms, Kang is a subpar fighter????
Sometimes makes me wish Dana'd pull his head out his ass a little, it must be stiffling in there
