DEEP CAGE IMPACT 2015 – 08/29/2015: Yokota vs Takahashi Is The Headliner

August 26, 2015 Shu Hirata

DEEP announced the order of the bouts for DEEP CAGE IMPACT scheduled to be held at Differ Ariake this weekend.

The non-title featherweight bout between the champion Kazunori Yokota and Keijiro Takahashi is going to be the headliner of the show.

In addition, two former champions, Tatsumitsu Wada and Masakazu Imanari, are also fighting. Wada vs Jae Hyun So from Korea is the co-main, and Imanari is taking on Moon Hwang Yang from Korea in a featherweight bout.

Also, a lightweight prospect from Osaka, Kota Shimoishi, is going to face a veteran Shigetoshi Iwase. Shimoishi just scored a very impressive dominating win over UFC / Bellator veteran Yoshiyuki "Zenko" Yoshida so one or two more wins should get him into the title contention.

After Yokota vs Takahashi, there is going to be a retirement bout of Hidenobu Koike, followed by DEEP JEWELS 9 show, which features two title bouts. Takayo Hashi takes on Ji Yeon Kim in a 135 lbs title while Invicta FC veteran MIZUKI (a.k.a. Mizuki Inoue) is going to defend her 115 lbs against WSOF veteran Emi Fujino.
