Ikuhisa Minowa faces Imani Lee at DREAM.14
"The Punk" is on tap to face another "Super Hulk."Japanese favorite Ikuhisa "The Punk" Minowa (45-30-8 MMA, 4-3 DREAM) will face 325-pound Imani Lee (1-2 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) at DREAM.14, which is scheduled to take place May 29 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that the match-up is a done deal.
DREAM.14 marks the promotion's second experiment with the fenced-in fighting area known as "The White Cage" after longtime use of a ring. The event airs live in North America on HDNet.
Internet chatter of Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson fighting Minowa was called a "rumor" by Ferguson representative Mike Imber.
Minowa fought another behemoth in his most recent performance when he dispatched 315-pound Jimmy Ambriz at DREAM.13 in March. It was his first win after a clean sweep of the promotion's 2009 "Super Hulk" tournament in which he bested Bob Sapp, Hong Man Choi and Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou for the big-man belt (though his walk-around weight is 197 pounds).
Lee, a former sparring partner of boxer turned MMA fighter James Toney, recently returned to active competition and dropped a first-round submission loss to Geovanni Sarran in April.
The bout's position on DREAM.14's card is unknown at this time.
