Shooto promoter Sustain today released the complete fight card and bout order for “The Way of Shooto 6: Like a Tiger, Like a Dragon,” which takes place this Friday, Nov. 19, at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
The main event features Shooto 143-Pound Pacific Rim champion Taiki Tsuchiya defending his title against BJJ black belt Gustavo Falciroli. Tsuchiya has won four straight, most recently handing Krazy Bee prospect Issei Tamura his first loss in a July decision. The Brazilian — who resides and trains in Western Australia — will look to extend a two-fight win streak as he takes part in his first bout in Japan since losing to Tamura one year ago.
Two important 123-pound matches bolster the card, as Shooto world champ Yasuhiro Urushitani takes on Takuya Mori in a non-title affair and former two-division champion Mamoru Yamaguchi meets the streaking Fumihiro Kitahara.
