A handful of match-ups, including an anticipated lightweight bout between Eddie Alvarez (15-1) and Shinya Aoki (18-3), have been added to the Dec. 31. FEG FieLDS Dynamite!! 2008 event that takes place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

Also added was a featured heavyweight bout between Mark Hunt (5-4) and Jerome LeBanner (3-1-1).

Although the event will feature a combination of MMA and kickboxing bouts, those two fights will be held under MMA rules.

The organization added the bouts to its official fight card overnight.

Alavarez and Aoki were originally slated to meet in DREAM's lightweight grand prix finale after both fighters advanced through the summer-long tournament. However, after a particularly tough victory over Tatsuya Kawajiri, Alvarez wasn't cleared to fight in the finale later that night.

Joachim Hansen instead took his spot and defeated Aoki for the title.

Alvarez hasn't fought since that July 21 DREAM.5 event, though Aoki scored a 70-second submission of Todd Moore just two months later at DREAM.6.

Hunt, meanwhile, looks to snap a three-fight MMA losing streak (to Josh Barnett, Fedor Emelianenko and Alistair Overeem) when he meets famed K-1 kickboxer LeBanner, who's riding a three fight winning streak (three KOs) in MMA.

The latest card now includes:

* Mark Hunt vs. Jerome Le Banner
* Eddie Alvarez vs. Shin'ya Aoki
* Tatsuya Kawajiri vs. Kozo Takeda*
* Gegard Mousasi vs. Musashi*
* Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Kiyoshi Tamura
* Gesias "JZ" Calvancante vs. Joachim Hansen
* Hiroya vs. Shimada Shota*
* Kusakabe Ryuya vs. Urabe Koya*

* - Fight will be conducted under K-1 rules
