Okada (13-8-3) made his debut a decade ago. The 33 year old is on the worst run of results in his career and has lost his last three, being stopped by Yuki Okano in his most recent fight at Road to ONE: ‘Century’.
Yamauchi (17-10) was born in Japan but grew up in Brazil. He has spent the majority of his career competing in Brazil and is the brother of Bellator veteran Goiti Yamauchi.
