When: Saturday at 12 AM EST
Where: Maruzen Intec Arena Osaka, Osaka, Japan
TV / Streaming: FITE

Sho Patrick Usami Vs Kyung Pyo Kim

The main card starts with that look to be a very good Lightweight bout. Usamo has made a good start to life as a pro, going 6-1 overall, with wins coming in 4 of his last 5. Kim is 11-4 overall, but it can be argued that he needs a win here, as he has lost 2 of his last 3 bouts. I think Usami takes advantage of that and comes away with the KO win.

Kyle Aguon Vs Kyohei Hagiwara

Next up is a Featherweight bout that has a couple of fighters in dire need of a win. Aguon is 14-11 overall, but he is on a run that has seen him lose 4 of his last 5 fights. It’s much the same story for Hagiwara, who is coming into this one having lost 3 in a row. I think Aguon gets back to winning ways with the decision win.

Kiichi Kunimoto Vs Keita Nakamura

Two very experienced fighters step into the octagon for this Welterweight bout. Kunimoto is 20-12-2, but he has not been in great form of late, losing 3 of his last 4 fights. Nakamura is 35-11-2, but he has also struggled of late, losing 3 of his last 5. Both men could use a win here, but I think it will be Nakamura that edges it.

Yuto Hokamura Vs Koichi Ishizuka

The Bantamweights are up next, and in this one, we have two fighters heading in different directions. Hokamura is 14-12-2, but he is struggling of late, losing 3 in a row and 4 of his last 5. Ishizuka is in a groove right now, winning 5 in a row to get to 19-5-1. I think he keeps the win streak alive with a KO win here.

Yusaka Nakamura Vs Mehman Mamedov

Moving on, we have a Flyweight bout next up on the main card. Nakamura is 17-9-1 and comes into this one on the heels of a win, which snapped a 3-fight losing skid. Mamedov is just 5-6 overall and comes into this one off a loss. I think we see this one go the distance, with Nakamura getting the win.

Makoto Takahashi Vs Daichi Kitakata

This Flyweight bout looks very interesting indeed, especially when you look at the form Takahashi is in. He is 15-1-1 and has won 9 in a row ahead of this one. Kitakata is 20-11-1, but he has not been great of late, losing 3 of his last 5 fights. This looks like another straightforward win for Takahashi.

Yoshinori Horie Vs Vugar Karamov

The penultimate fight of the night is a Featherweight bout that looks evenly matched. Horie comes in with a very good 12-3 record and is on a 3-fight win streak. Karamov is 17-4 overall and has also been excellent of late, winning 4 of his last 5 fights. I think this one goes the distance, with Horie winning it.

Koji Tanaka Vs Ryusei Ashizawa

We close the night out with a custom rules fight, which should be interesting to watch. Tanaka has fought in a variety of different styles with mixed success, including a 1-1 record in this format. It is much the same story for Ashizawa, although this will be his first custom rules fight, which I think gives the edge to Tanaka.
