Kasahara, the SB Japan super lightweight champion, came in as a four-division SB champion. He lost to Mamedov, the fighter Andy Souwer recommended. Mamedov pressed in close with body shots, low kicks and spinning attacks. According to MMAPLANET, all three judges scored the first two rounds even, and the split came on the third.
The two Thai fighters brought by ONE featherweight kickboxing champion Superbon both lost. Yodsuper, Superbon's 15-year-old nephew, was knocked down twice by Tezuka. Tezuka said afterward that he has an offer from a big promotion and told fans to watch his social media. Jomyun, who needed a re-weigh on Friday, was taken out on a stretcher after Yamada's left body shot.
Yamada said he has not yet shown all of his new style. Tezuka's win was his 14th in a row. Kasahara had said before the fight that he wanted to carve his own history rather than surpass Souwer.
