Latest From Complete Vale Tudo Access:

One of Shooto's hottest up-and-comers will return to the ring on September 8th.

PUREBRED Omiya's Ganjo Tentsuku will be back at Korakuen Hall for the September 8th card, following his first visit outside of Shooto's confines. On June 11th, Tentsuku stepped into the octagon at GCM's Demolition of Octagon Gear VI, and took a unanimous decision victory over Frenchman Emmanuel "Pythagoras" Fernandez. Now, the 24 year old will compete in his third bout of the year against Paraestra Tokyo veteran Kohei Yasumi.

Yasumi, a seven year Shooto veteran, has not competed in Shooto since a loss to Sweden's Jani Lax in November of 2004. Since then, Yasumi has focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition and submission grappling, as well as fighting a bout in Shootboxing last year. With a level of experience which belies his 27 year old age, Yasumi will look to score a big win over the up-and-coming Tentsuku when he heads back to Korakuen Hall.
