The DREAM Bantamweight Championship has a weight limit of 61 kg (135 lbs.).

The belt was first awarded to Bibiano Fernandes at [[Dream Fight For Japan! New Year! 2011]] after defeating Antonio Banuelos by first-round technical knockout. Fernandes defeated Rodolfo Marques Diniz in the semifinals earlier that evening and Takafumi Otsuka in the opening round three months earlier.

Some 15 months after he was edged out by Fernandes in split-decision fashion for DREAM’s inaugural featherweight belt, Takaya took his own decision, this time in unanimous fashion, to wrestle the belt off Fernandes’ waist at the year-ending [[FieLDS Dynamite!! 2010]].
