DREAM.16 in September Rumored to be DREAM vs. SRC 2

Marlon Sandro is looking to avenge his loss to Omigawa, kinda like this. Photo by Taro Irei, Sherdog.com.

As always, there is a DREAM show on the horizon and we have no details about it. If you follow Japanese MMA you know that there is nothing new about this and until FEG starts talking to the press and letting information trickle down there will be a lot of rumors and reports from fighters. Keep in mind that a lot of what we hear comes from the contracts offered to individual fighters and aren't final until both fighters sign.

Marlon Sandro is the first real leak of information, as he tells Tatame he is on deck for DREAM vs. SRC 2 at DREAM.16 and might fight Omigawa.

What's next commitment?

I have a fight scheduled for September, the event Sengoku x Dream, except that I still have no opponent set. I could not fight at the end of last year in this fusion of the two major events in Japan, but this year they will bring forward to September and I'm already in preparation, though not yet have opponents. I believe that I will face Michihiro Omigawa who is fighting at Dream and was the only guy who beat me, so I think they should give me the rematch.

This fight has a taste for it is a rematch?

Sure, we already started working the bugs and I've done that since I lost, I've been working on top of things that I missed this fight and the result is positive, because I won three fights by knockout after this defeat and my goal for this fight with Omigawa is the knockout. I hope to continue like knocking on my struggles and ending as quickly as possible, not to injure me.

DREAM.16 has long been rumored to be a 'megacard' for TBS, a somewhat desperate attempt to pull in ratings and help revive the brand. Will it be another co-promotion? Time will only tell.

Hopefully they go with Sandro/Bibiano

I know that Omigawa against Sandro would probably be more interesting to the Japanese public but that is what I would like to see.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

WVR has no major TV outlet to show Ishii. If WVR plans on having Ishii fight on NYE the only real option they have is TBS, and a co promotion with Dream again.

I WVR is mostly buttering up to FEG, and TBS simply for that reason.
