Two welterweight veterans will face off in one of four fights added to the Pancrase 312 card. Yuki Kondo takes on Akihiro Murayama in a rematch on February 16th.
Kondo (60-35-9) scored a decision win over Akihiro Gono at Pancrase 305 earlier this year. Meanwhile Murayama is coming off back to back decision defeats for the long running Japanese promotion.
Two younger prospects will also be in action at Pancrase 312. Ryo Hatta (13-6) will be looking to work his way back into strawweight title contention after two defeats when he faces promotional newcomer Mijikai Nagai (4-5).
In the flyweight division Yusuke Ogikubo (11-9) faces off against Satoru Enomoto (8-3). Meanwhile
Hidekazu Fukushima (15-7-1) has been matched with Korean Soo Young Yoo (6-1) in a bantamweight bout.
As previously announced Yoshinori Horie will be fighting again in February following a brief, unsuccessful stint with the UFC. He will face Yojiro Uchimura at Shinkiba Studio Coast on February 16th.
