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 Cavalcante were briefly rumored to meet at Dream 11. However, due to Eddie Alvarez's contractual obligations to Bellator Fighting Championships, the fight was scrapped early in negotiations.
Kazuyuki Miayata and Takeshi Yamazaki fought at DEEP 42 IMPACT to decide who would fight DJ.Taiki in the Feather Weight Grand Prix Reserve bout.
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 Ronaldo Souza signed with Strikeforce.
Though featured on the Dream 11 promotion material, Norifumi "KID" Yamamoto did not participate in the event, as he is taking a hiatus to train outside Japan, and will return to MMA competition at Dynamite!! 2009.
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.
A bout between Daisuke Nakamura and Gesias Cavalcante had original been planned for Dream 11. However, due to a knee injury sustained by Calvancante, the bout was reportedly scrapped. This resulted in Nakamura being moved to Dream 12.
