DREAM set to cancel their light heavyweight Grand Prix set to begin on May 29th

It appears Japanese promotion, DREAM will cancel their light heavyweight Grand Prix which was due to begin on May 29th in the Far East after an apparent dispute between the promotion and television partner, Tokyo Broadcasting System.
The tournament had become highly anticipated with former UFC and PRIDE star, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and former Strikeforce 205 pound champions, Gegard Mousasi and Renato “Babalu” Sobral all expected to compete.

It is unclear whether the Grand Prix will simply be put back to a later date or if the whole thing will be shelved indefinitely.

NO!!!!! WTF?? That sucks

Well at least the whole card isn't canned.

I was looking forward to some potential stars coming forward.

Nooooo

I want Mousasi to win his second tournament.

Tourny is still on

Share DREAM 14 still on; light heavyweight tournament to be 'restructured'

Japanese fight fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Reports surfaced earlier today that a portion of the DREAM 14 fight card was being removed, specifically the planned light heavyweight tournament featuring Gegard Mousasi, Renato Sobral, Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, among others, leading to speculation that the entire May 29 card was in jeopardy.

No worries.

Representatives from Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG) today told MMAmania.com that DREAM 14 will continue as planned and that the promotion has opted to change the structure of the light heavyweight tournament going forward.

An official announcement can be expected in the near future as well as some "surprises" for the still-developing fight card.
