Background
This event marked the beginning of co-promotion between DREAM and US organization Strikeforce. The event would also mark the return of K. J. Noons to Mixed Martial Arts in his first fight since 2008.[3]
While not officially announced, Tim Sylvia was planning on participating in this event. However, Dream officials allegedly tried to change his opponent roughly two weeks before the bout was planned to take place.[4]
Marius Žaromskis was in discussions to defend his Dream Welterweight Championship against Kiyoshi Tamura at this event,[5] but would instead appear at Dream 15 on May 30, 2010.[6]
