Five more fights have been added to the Shooto 0531 card. They include the semi finals of the atomweight tournament and a lightweight clash between Keisuke Sasu and Akiyo Nishiura.
Nishiura (14-9-1) has not been competing regularly in MMA. He was submitted by Kleber Koike Erbst at Road to ONE last year but did score a decision win over Andy Souwer on a Rizin card in 2017.
The veteran will face a fighter 11 years his junior. Sasu (5-1-1) avenged the only loss of his entire career when he beat Derricott Yamamoto by majority decision at Shooto 30th Anniversary Tour last November.
The card will also feature the semi finals of the atomweight tournament. Saori Oshima (1-0) faces Mina Kurobe (14-5) while Mirai Nakamura (2-1) has been matched with Megumi Sugimoto (4-1).
As previously announced the interim bantamweight title will be on the line at Shooto 0531. Reigning champion Ryo Okada will be defending his belt against the undefeated Kazuma Kuramoto.
The weigh in will take place on the same day as the event and fighters will be allowed to move up one division to compensate. Lightweights will have to weigh a maximum of 170lbs, featherweights a maximum of 155lbs, bantamweights a maximum of 145lbs and atomweights a maximum of 115lbs.
Shooto 3105 will be broadcast live by Abema TV. Tight regulations will be in place with fighters forced to submit regular temperature checks in the buildup to the event.
