Hatsu Hioki will battle champion Marlon Sandro for the featherweight crown, which was a previously rumored bout which was said to take place in DREAM on December 31, however Sengoku was able to utilize the two fighters, serving as the main event for the epic card.
Kazuo Misaki makes his return to action since losing a pivotal bout with Jorge Santiago for the promotion’s middleweight crown last August. In a fight that Misaki was ahead on the score cards, he was mounted in the fifth and final round before his corner threw in the towel after an unrelenting Santiago battered the Japanese star with punches in bunches. The match was later a nominee for “Fight of the Year” at the Fighters Only Magazine World MMA Awards.
