The DREAM.2 Main Event features living legend Kazushi Sakuraba of Japan, who will take on Brazilian Andrews Nakahara, a kyokushin fighter 14 years his junior.

"I thought I thought that at 84 kg [185 lbs], I was too light for K-1," said Nakahara. "so I started preparing for mixed martial arts, with a jiu-jitsu trainer, about six months ago My teacher Francisco Filho has also been helping me, and I'm honored and motivated to fight Sakuraba. I believe I've prepared very well and I'm confident I can defeat him, hopefully I'll KO him with strikes."

Sakuraba believes he's also ready. "If Nakahara says that he can KO me, let him try. All I know is that he's a Karate fighter, it seems his fists are hard as a rock. I didn't prepare anything in particular for Karate fighters, but I will let him control the fight, that's all. I will just fight my usual fight, find a way to take him down and so on. One request for Mr. Nakahara -- if you are going to KO me, don't do it with a bunch of low kicks -- just hit me hard and make me unconscious instantly!"

Popular Korean-Canadian fighter Denis Kang will take on Dutch fighter Gegard Mousasi in the card's highly anticipated penultimate bout.

In other action, Japanese fighters Kiyoshi Tamura and Masakatsu Funaki will go at it; Ronaldo Jacare of Brazil will take on American Ian Murphy; Zelg "Benkei" Galesic of Croatia will step in against Russian Magomed Sultanakhmadov; and South Korean judoka Dong Sik Yoon Korea will face Shungo Oyama of Japan.

The evening's first middleweight matchup will see Seidokaikan fighter Taiei Kin of Japan take on flashy compatriot Minowaman.
