On October 24th, Dream lightweight champion Shinya Aoki will make his return to longtime Japanese feeder promotion DEEP for its fiftieth event. Aoki debuted in DEEP in 2003, having his first four fights with the organization before going to Shooto. He will face former pro-boxer Yokthai Sithoar. Sithoar is a former WBA Super Flyweight Champion and has a 29-6 (6) record, but he has not fought since 2004 and this will be his MMA debut.
