"DREAM: Japan GP Final" weigh-in results: All bouts official

After some initial difficulty, all 16 competitors for this weekend's "DREAM: Japan GP Final" event are on weight.

Late replacement Drew Fickett (41-14 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) was initially a couple pounds for his contest with Tatsuya Kawajiri (27-7-2 MMA, 7-1 DREAM) but was given additional time and made the mark on his second attempt.

"DREAM: Japan GP Final" takes place at Tokyo's Ariake Coliseum. North American broadcast plans have yet to be announced.

Fickett was a late replacement for Willamy "Chiquerim" Freire.

The non-title contest between DREAM welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis  (14-6 MMA, 5-0 DREAM) and Eiji Ishikawa (22-16-2 MMA, 0-0 DREAM) will take place as a 175-pound catchweight affair. Ishikawa was announced just yesterday as a replacement for Japanese superstar Hayato "Mach" Sakurai (35-12-2 MMA, 4-4 DREAM).
