Huge Wrestler To Make DREAM Debut!

In the latest issue of Gonkaku, FEG President Sadaharu Tanigawa says that Amateur Wrestler Akihito Tanaka will debut in DREAM. He is a freestyle wrestler and wrestles in the 120 kg (265 lbs) division. He has won the All-Japan Wrestling Championships seven times in a row now with the last win being in 2007.

Actually, during K-1 Dynamite!! 2004 he was announced as a new fighter signing together with Hong-Man Choi and Heath Herring but I don’t believe he ever fought after that. He is popular in Japan and another smart signing by FEG.
