Bas hasn't done commentary on a Dream event since 2008.

Michael Schiavello said on his Twitter he is doing both, but he is in Kansas City so he will just be commentating over a feed for Dream, something he has done for a few other Dream/K-1 events.

Not sure who his partner is going to be. Probably Trigg, he has done all the Dream events since 13 including the taped ones.

Trigg is fucking horrible. I’d rather have Guy Metzger, even if he does stutter.

Bas in 2008 clearly didn’t care and usually resorted to making jokes, singing songs, or talking about anything else he could besides the fight.

He’s not doing it for financial reasons, he’s made a ton of money from his pro-wrestling and PRIDE days. He also owns two gyms near Tokyo, which of course brings in a lot of students. He’s doing it because he just can’t seem to give it up.
