Dream 9 will take place on Tuesday May 26, 2009 at the Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa, Japan. This card has some excellent match ups and then they throw in Jose Canseco to fight the giant Hong Man Choi. Canseco will be making his MMA debut and hopefully last. There will also be an open weight class called the “Super Hulk Tournament” featuring Sapp vs. Minowa, Man Choi vs. Canseco, Nortje vs. Sokoudjou, and Mousasi vs. Hunt.
Also slated is the Dream middleweight title fight that was vacated by Gegard Mousasi due to his move to LHW featuring a rematch between Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza and Jason “Mayhem” Miller. And the Main Event of the night will be Tatsuya Kawajiri squaring off with JZ Calvancante.
