DREAM Announces 11 Participants for FWGP

From NightmareofBattle

 

11 participants for the DREAM Featherweight GP were announced today. The only surprises are Hiroyuki Takaya and very talented Greco-Roman Wrestler Joe Warren who received a two-year doping suspension in 2007 when he failed a drug test (for the second time) which made him miss the 2008 Olympics. The rest are as expected and it looks like another quality Featherweight GP.

Kid's participation is still not completely set but its likely that he will be slotted into the second round as the favorite with a first round bye

The weight of the GP also has yet to be set...  Though IMO its likely that it will be between 138-143 depending on what Kid can make.

Finally an excuse to wear my ‘evil fist’ shirt. Pleasant surprise to see Takaya in there. Would have preferred to see him in the Sengoku GP though.

FYI...

DREAM GP is at 63kg (138.6 lbs) and Sengoku is 65kg (143 lbs).

I want to see Tokoro and Wicky Akiyo fight so bad. This GP will be coo.
