Ryo Kawamura Drops Down To Middleweight!



Two fights were announced for the June 5th Pancrase event today.

Ryo Kawamura has relinquished his Light Heavyweight King Of Pancrase title and will finally move down to Middleweight to take on Ikkei for the Middleweight King Of Pancrase title (which Rikuhei Fujii has relinquished) at the event. So there will be three title fights on June 5th.

A fun Featherweight rematch has also been added to the card. Takada Dojo’s Kensaku Nakamura will rematch the hard-hitting Yusuke “Bancho” Kawanago.

Nakamura is the only loss besides Takumi on Bancho’s record. Their first fight ended in a split decision victory for Nakamura. Bancho will not only have a shot at getting revenge, but also at getting back on the winning track after a quite unfortunate loss to Takumi earlier this year. -Source
