DREAM FC becomes the latest Japanese MMA promotion to go belly-up
It has today been revealed that Japanese based mixed martial arts promotion, DREAM FC have become the latest to close their doors and cease promoting events, another stark reminder of what bad management and business decisions can lead to.
The news was revealed by MMA-Japan.com earlier today. According to multiple sources, DREAM have now shut down for the last time. They were scheduled to promote an event in July, but that was cancelled for the remainder of 2012. Now it seems to be cancelled forever.
DREAM attempted to fill the gap left by PRIDE FC when it was first bought by and then closed by Zuffa. Although a number of familiar faces were involved with DREAM it never hit the same heights as the lure of the octagon became stronger, leading to this eventual collapse.
