[Dream. 13]: conferenza stampa (22/03/2010)
As previously reported, Minowaman and Katsunori Kikuno will participate but there was no mention yet of Hideo Tokoro taking part.
Minowaman (44-30-8) will face American Jimmy Ambriz (14-12-1). Ambriz is no stranger to the Japanese fight scene were he has fought in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pancrase. His only appearance in DREAM was a loss to Sergei Kharitonov at DREAM.6.
DEEP Lightweight champ Katsunori Kikuno (12-2-2) will battle Cage Force Lightweight champion Kuniyoshi Hironaka (16-6-0). Kikuno had been on a unbelievable streak going unbeaten in 11 fights dating back to early 2006 until he was stopped by Eddie Alvarez at DREAM.12. Hironaka will come into the fight winning 4 in a row with his last victory coming over the talented Korean Won Sik Park.
Former EliteXC Lightweight champion, K.J. Noons (7-2-0) will make his debut against Brazillian kick boxer Andre "Dida" Amado (6-3-1).
Ryo Chonan (16-10-0), who was confirmed to fight a few weeks back will meet Japanese-Brazilian Andrews Nakahara (2-1-0). Nakahara has an extensive Kyokushin karate background and was recently awarded a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Blue Belt. He made his MMA debut against Kazushi Sakuraba.
After the press conference, event producer Keiichi Sasahara said 3-4 fights have yet to be announced. So we can expect more matches to be added in the coming days/weeks.
