During his Featherweight Grand Prix 1st Round victory over Hideo Tokoro last weekend, Daiki "DJ.taiki" Hata (11-5-3) reinjured his right eye, which was previously damaged in his DEEP qualifier bout against Shoji Maruyama and caused the Hata-Tokoro bout to be scrapped from DREAM.7. Event Producer Keiichi Sasahara said that Hata will have to be medically cleared to fight before the May quarterfinals, and depending on the circumstances, there is a possibility of DREAM calling on an alternate.
