Three Fights Added to DREAM.14

At the DREAM press conference today they announced three additional matches (all Featherweights) to the May 29th DREAM.14 card.

In perhaps the biggest announcement of the day, Hiroyuki Takaya (12-8-1) will face the Norwegian Joachim Hansen (19-9-1). Takaya was a participant in the Dream Featherweight Grand Prix beating Jong Won Kim, Yoshiro Maeda and Hideo Tokoro enroute to the finals, before losing to Bibiano Fernandes via split decision. At Dynamite!! 2009 he was beaten by Michihiro Omigawa early in the first round. At DREAM.13, Joachim Hansen lost a split decision to Featherweight Champion Bibiano Fernandes in a great match. He'll be looking to get back on track, and quickly at that returning to the ring in just over two months since his last fight.

Next up, Hideo Tokoro (26-21-1) will meet Shooto fighter Akiyo Nishiura (10-5-1). Tokoro also competed in the Featherweight Grand Prix where he lost in the first round to Daiki Hata, was brought back into the tournament and beat Abel Cullum in the second round before losing to Hiroyuki Takaya in the semi-finals. His last fight was at Dynamite!! 2009 where he defeated Jong Man Kim by unanimous decision. "Wicky" Akiyo Nishiura was another participant in the Featherweight Gran Prix losing in the first round to Abel Cullum. He went on to beat Takumi Ota last May in Shooto before dropping a majority decision to Gustavo Falciroli at a Shooto Australian event.

And finally we'll see Miyata Kazuyuki (8-7) taking on DEEP Featherweight champion Takafumi Otsuka (10-4-1). After losing at DREAM.1 Kazuyuki returned to the DEEP promotion picking up wins over Jae Hyun So and Takeshi Yamazaki. Last October he returned to compete at DREAM.11 scoring a victory over Daiki Hata in the Featherweight GP reserve bout. Otsuka lost his first round Featherweight Gran Prix match to Bibiano Fernandes and returned to DEEP landing recent wins over Dokonjonosuke Mishima and Takeshi Yamazaki.
