DREAM.3 is now in the books. Three quarterfinal matches in DREAM’s Lightweight Grand Prix took place as well as a welterweight title contender bout between Nick Diaz and Katsuya Inoue and a middleweight grand prix round match between Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller and Katsuyori Shibata. Melvin Mahoef and Kim Dae Won squared off in a middleweight grand prix reserve bout.

The DREAM organization announced more fights that have been added to their DREAM.3 card scheduled for May 11. The announcement included Nick Diaz, the controversial fighter who’s as well-known for his marijuana habits as his fighting. Diaz will be taking on Katsuya Inoue in what 
Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller will be heading over to Japan in two weeks to compete on the DREAM.3 card on May 11. Mayhem will be facing former Japanese pro-wrestler Katsuyori Shibata who is currently on a three fight losing streak as a competitor in K-1 Hero’s. 
The WEC has announced that former WEC Bantamweight Champion, Chase Beebe, has been added to WEC 34: Faber vs. Pulver on June 1. Beebe will square off against Will Ribeiro, who will be making his WEC debut. This match is not scheduled to be televised.
