FEG has finally gotten their act together and announced some more fights for Dream 15. The card will take place on July 10 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. HDNet will broadcast the card live in the United States.
For the first time in a while, fighters from the Yoshida Dojo will compete on an FEG promoted card. After J-Rock, the management group behind Yoshida Dojo, split ways with Sengoku, it left Dream as the only real MMA home for the fighters. Sengoku featherweight tournament finalist Michihiro Omigawa will make his promotional debut against Jong Yon Sam, who holds a paltry 0-2 record.
UFC Pride and Sengoku veteran Kazuhiro Nakamura will meet Karl Amoussou. Nakamura is coming off one of the biggest wins of his career, a recent victory over his mentor and coach Hidehiko Yoshida. Amoussou recently made his Stikeforce debut, but the referee stopped the fight after he received an accidental thumb to the eye from Trevor Prangley.
Mitsuhiro Ishida will return to action for the first time since dropping a fight to Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez. He will take on striker Daiki “DJ Taiki” Hata, who is coming off a loss in K-1 Max.
Headlining Dream 15 will be a lightweight title fight. Dream champion Shinya Aoki will defend his title against Tatsuya Kawajiri.
