Undefeated South African flyweight Bokang Masunyane has been added to the Pancrase 307 card. The EFC veteran faces Yusuke Ogikubo in Tokyo on July 21st.
The promotion took to Twitter to break the news:

Masunyane (5-0) has spent his entire career competing for EFC in his homeland. He makes his international debut against a man who has been fighting for Pancrase since 2012.
Ogikubo (11-8-0-1) will certainly have an advantage in terms of experience. He will be looking to register back to back Pancrase wins for the first time since 2015.
As previously announced the event will be headlined by a bantamweight title bout between newly crowned champion Rafael Silva and challenger Yuto Hokamura.
Next up for the long running Japanese promotion is Pancrase 305 which is set for Shinkiba Studio Coast on May 25th. It will feature featherweight and welterweight title fights.
After that is Pancrase 306 which is set for the same venue on June 30th. That card will feature Japanese veterans Ryuichi Miki, Manabu Inoue, Ikuhisa Minowa, Eiji Ishikawa and Akihiro Murayama.
