The DREAM Featherweight Championship has a weight limit of 65 kg (143 lbs.).

The belt was first awarded to Bibiano Fernandes at DREAM 11 Featherweight Grand Prix 2009 Final Round after defeating Hiroyuki Takaya by split decision. Fernandes defeated Joe Warren in the semifinals earlier that evening and Masakazu Imanari in the quarterfinals and Takafumi Otsuka in the opening round.

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]].
