In some surprising news, longtime lightweight/featherweight veteran Tatsuya Kawajiri has announced a move to bantamweight.
He will cut to 63kg, 138 pounds, to face undefeated Gabriel Oliveira at RIZIN’s show in Fukuoka on October 15.
This event will feature multiple grand-prix bouts in the bantamweight and women’s atomweight division. Check out those match-ups here.
It seems as though this Kawajiri vs. Oliveira fight will be a wildcard bout for the bantamweight grand-prix.
