A Look Back At DREAM & It's Contributions To MMA 10 Years Later
A Look Back At DREAM & It's Contributions To MMA 10 Years Later
February 8, 2018
By Ryan Porzl
With the end of PRIDE Fighting Championships and it's purchase to then UFC parent company Zuffa in April 2007, it left a huge void as PRIDE was MMA's number one promotion throughout the decade. It also hurt the Japanese Mixed Martial Arts market as they not only lost their top promotion but they lost it via an ugly scandal as they were involved with a yakuza family. With PRIDE now gone, several promotions formed in it's wake in the hopes of filling the void. One promotion was DREAM, a promotion formed by a combination of K-1 owners Fighting Entertainment Group (who even ended K-1 Hero's upon DREAM's formation) and Real Entertainment who were former executives from PRIDE former parent company Dream Stage Entertainment. Formed on February 13, 2008, DREAM was supposed to be one of the next big MMA promotions that hoped to succeed PRIDE. Unfortunately, it never happened and it eventually shut down by 2012 when FEG went bankrupt, ending the promotion after only four years. While DREAM never became a big success, it still made it's mark on the MMA world and now ten years after it began, we can see the contributions it made and why is will go down as an underrated & memorable MMA organization.
