FiveOuncesofPain is reporting that DREAM featherweight champion, Bibiano Fernandes, will return to the ring on New Year's Eve for the FEG's "DYNAMITE!!" event. Fernandes had been publicly displeased with the promotion after it took them nearly six months to pay him for his title defense against Joachim Hansen. It seems like the relationship has been patched up for the time being. No word on an opponent or whether or not the DREAM belt will be on the line, but Hiroyuki Takaya is a strong possibility.
UPDATED: Bibiano Ferandes/Hiroyuki Takaya in officially set.
