Notes

  • DREAM 11 was the second, and last, DREAM event to be shown live in primetime on Tokyo Broadcasting System during 2009.
  • Eddie Alvarez and Gesias Calvancante were briefly rumored to meet at DREAM 11. However, due to Alvarez's contractual obligations to Bellator Fighting Championships, the fight was scrapped early in negotiations.
  • Kazuyuki Miyata and Takeshi Yamazaki fought at DEEP: Impact 42 to decide who would fight Daiki Hata in the Featherweight grand prix reserve bout.
  • Despite early reports, the Super Hulk Grand Prix would not be concluded at DREAM 11. When DREAM event producer Keiichi Sasahara first announced the grand prix, he stipulated it would not operate in typical grand prix fashion. It is rumored that the most likely event for the tournament to conclude would be at Dynamite!! 2009. The official DREAM 11 promotional poster confirmed that only the semi-finals of the Super Hulk Grand Prix would take place at the event.
  • An early rumored bout placed Ronaldo Souza against Jason "Mayhem" Miller in a rematch for the DREAM Middleweight Championship. However, the bout was scrapped after Souza signed with Strikeforce.
  • Gegard Mousasi advanced to the second round of the Super Hulk Grand Prix after defeating Mark Hunt at DREAM 9, but had to pull out of the tournament due to an injury he recieved after an exhibition match with Fedor Emelianenko.
  • A bout between Daisuke Nakamura and Gesias Calvancante had originaly been planned for DREAM 11. However, due to a knee injury sustained by Calvancante, the bout was scrapped. This resulted in Nakamura being moved to DREAM 12.
