Fight #8: DREAM Special Rules One Match:
Shinya Aoki vs. Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima - KO Round 2 (0:04)
- Round 1 of the fight (K-1 Rules) was a joke as Aoki did everything he could to disengage from running, flopping and clinching.

Fight #5: DREAM Free Weight One Match: DREAM Rules:
MINOWAMAN vs. Izumi Hiroshi - TKO (Strikes) Round 3 (2:50)
- Apparently if Izumi losses this fight he must quit fighting and go back to the family business - fishing.
- Izumi must not have wanted to go fishing because he used superior wrestling and grappling to control the fight until he started using GNP and the referee had to stop the fight.

Shinichi Suzukawa vs. Bob Sapp - Fight Canceled (Bob Sapp withdrew, it was announced in the arena that Sapp wanted more money and when they didn't give in he said he had lost the will to fight tonight.)
- The fighters are introduced by the voice of PRIDE & DREAM - Lenne Hardt and it is time for the first fight.
- The opening ceremonies take place starting with some bizarre ring girl goodbye, the introduction of the referees and judges and then Antonio Inoki paints a kanji character for "judgment & decision" on a canvas to get the show started. A video montage is showing commemorating the 10 years of MMA on NYE in Japan.
- The Voice and Frank Trigg are the announce team tonight.
