Tanner Lourenco vs. Orihey
Tanner Lourenco (70.30kg)
“My opponent is mediocre with everything. He competes in Okinawan Sumo but I don’t see how it would work in MMA.”
Orihey (70.85kg)
“I want to show that Okinawan Martial Arts is not just Karate. Okinawan Sumo is the real deal and we have many fighters that are killers and I’m here to prove it.”

Hirokatsu Miyagi (72.25kg)
“My opponent is bigger and heavier but I like that challenge. I will face him with everything I have and bring back a win in my hometown.”
Tomoki Yoshino (72.30kg)
“I want to show the appeal of heavier guys in kickboxing. We can put on very exciting fights that deliver lots of damage.”
Nisse vs. Moeri Suda
NISSE (48.65kg)
“I really hope my opponent pulls guard so I can pound her face in. I’ll be ready for anything she tries from being on her back.”
Moeri Suda (48.50kg)
“My strength is my Jiu Jitsu and I like to go for armbars. My opponent is a striker so I would like to try to strike with her to test my abilities.”
