DREAM announced earlier today the match ups for the 2011 DREAM bantamweight grand prix. The event will take place at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama Japan on May 29 at DREAM.17. As of current, no US broadcast plans are in place but we can expect as was the case for other DREAM broadcasts that HD NET could pick up the show.
With a total of eight competitors, the opening rounds of the tournament will take place on May 29 with the finals and consolation bout taking place in July.
The match ups are as follows:
Yoshiro Maeda (28-9-2 MMA, 2-3 DREAM) vs. Hideo Tokoro (27-23-1 MMA, 5-6 DREAM)
Darren Uyenoyama (6-3 MMA, 0-1 DREAM) vs. Atsushi Yamamoto (14-6-1 MMA, 1-1 DREAM)
