Background
On November 25th, 2009, a press conference was held to announce co-promotion between DREAM and Sengoku for Dynamite!! 2009. Currently, there are plans for seven different "DREAM vs. Sengoku" fights on the card. The planned bout between Hidehiko Yoshida and Satoshi Ishii was officially moved from Sengoku's New Years Eve show to Dynamite!! 2009.
Other potential participants include Badr Hari, Jerome Le Banner, Kazushi Sakuraba, Tim Sylvia (possibly against Hong Man Choi), Bob Sapp, and Gegard Mousasi.
Masato was originally intended to face Giorgio Petrosyan, the 2009 MAX Champion, but Petrosyan fractured a bone in his right hand during his semi-final bout versus Yuya Yamamoto.
