Japan’s Fighting & Entertainment Group (FEG) recently announced the
pairings for the quarterfinals of its featherweight grand prix, which will take
place at “DREAM 9″ on May 26 from the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan.
The event will of course boast the long awaited return of featherweight
superstar Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto, who was offered a first-round bye in the
tournament in hopes that he will have recovered from a previous injury in time
to compete.
