Hioki Relinquishes Shooto World Title! Tsuchiya As Well

It was announced today that Hatsu Hioki has relinquished the Shooto World Lightweight title. It looks like he is ready to challenge on a new stage. Taiki Tsuchiya has relinquished the Shooto Pacific Rim Lightweight title. I don’t know why but he lost a non-title fight to Lion Takeshi last month so that could be the reason. Update: Hioki has apparently denied a title shot against DREAM Champ Hiroyuki Takaya and there's now word he'll be attending 131, a sign of things to come?
