[quote]Chase Beebe to Sign with DREAM
Former WEC bantamweight champion Chase Beebe has announced his intention to sign a three-fight deal with Japanese promotion DREAM this week. The fighter confirmed his intentions to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday evening.
Beebe was originally considering a trip overseas in late October after fulfilling the last fight of his WEC contract at WEC 34, but an offer to face Jeff Curran in December's WEC 37 delayed his decision. When Curran injured his hand and was forced to bow out of the fight, Beebe lobbied for the DREAM contract.
Beebe will move up a weight class for his DREAM obligations, participating in the promotion's upcoming featherweight tournament in March. He also expects to keep a bantamweight fight with Mike Easton at Ultimate Warrior Challenge on Feb. 21.
Beebe said he would be in the opposite bracket of the man he expected to face in the tournament finals, Norifumi
