Notes

• The 8th matchup was initially to be postponed until DREAM.2 due to the injuries of Vítor Ribeiro and Caol Uno along with Gilbert Melendez's prior commitment to Strikeforce. Dream officials have decided to directly seed Caol Uno into the 2nd round against Mitsuhiro Ishida as the 8th fighter.
• The LW Grandprix match between Shinya Aoki and Katsuhiko Nagata took place at DREAM.4 due to the injuries Shinya Aoki incurred in his 1st round match with Gesias Calvancanti.
