Only three days out from DREAM’s first prime-time event for the year, FEG have added some much needed star power, booking Ikuhisa “Minowaman” Minowa to fight Beijing gold medalist Satoshi Ishii in an open-weight bout.
Minowa was initially planned to face James Thompson, but while Thompson was in the air on the way to Japan, the bout was canceled. DREAM Event Producer Keiichi Sasahara stated that he was planning on adding one more fight to the card but Thompson was not mentioned specifically as a participant and the matter was not addressed at the press conference.
