"I fight April 5 in Japan and I’m doing my final preparations here. I’m going to Curitiba Saturday and I’ll be back in training Monday. I’m going to fight at DREAM against a Korean."

-Murilo Rua, former PRIDE and EliteXC star (and brother of UFC light heavyweight Mauricio Rua), prepares for his return to Japan on April 5 at DREAM 8 after Strikeforce reportedly opted to pass on his acquired EliteXC contract. "Ninja" (16-9-1) hasn't competed since a TKO loss to Benji Radach at "Heat" last October for the now-defunct organization.
