Yamamoto recently returned from a 17-month sabbatical due to injuries only to suffer a split decision loss to Joe Warren in the quarterfinals of Dream’s Featherweight Grand Prix Tournament in May. Prior to posting that L, Yamamoto had reeled off 14 consecutive wins, 12 of which came via impressive stoppage.

Speaking of win streaks, Kawajiri has won six of his last seven, including three straight. He was last seen taking an easy unanimous decision over the talented Gesias “JZ” Cavalcante at Dream.9.

Although the organization openly hinted that both would participate in their historic show, they have failed to add either superstar, or their perspective opponents, to the official roster on their website.
