SHOOTO - 11/11/2012: Five Fights Added

Sustain added five more fights for the upcoming Korakuen Hall show and all fights are now set ready to go.

Shinya Murofushi, who currently ranks third in Shooto's world flyweight ranking, is going to take on Tatsuya Yamamoto who is currently on a six-fight winning streak. Yamamoto has been fighting in Shooto shows in Hokkaido therefore all of his past opponents are not exactly top fighters. However he is physically very strong and got that unbendable heart so he may capitalize on this big opportunity.

In a featherweight (135 lbs), two fighters just got promoted to Shooto's class A will collide. "Jungle" Ito from Shooting Gym Yokohama is taking on Yuta Nezu from Wajitutsu Keishukai Tokyo Headquarters. 

A veteran Daisuke Hoshino is fighting a youngster from Reversal Yokohama Gran Slam named Chuji Kato in a welterweight (155 lbs) bout. Kato made it to the semi-final of the last year's Shooto rookie tourney.

Two other bouts confirmed are middleweight (170 lbs) bout between"Giant" Takahiro and Tetsuo Seto, and a semi-final of rookie tournament (at 135) between Mamoru Uoi and Hidekazu Fukushima.
