Kondo (61-36-9) is one of the most experienced fighters in the sport. The 45 year old made his Pancrase debut in 1996 and went on to fight for the UFC and ONE Championship.
He was last seen in action at Pancrase 319. Kondo dropped a decision to Yutaka Kobayashi last October and has won two out of his last four fights.
Suzuki (6-15-2-1) has only won one of his last eight fights. The 39 year old has been a professional since 2010 but has never enjoyed sustained success.
As previously announced the card will be headlined by a featherweight title fight with Isao Kobayashi putting his belt on the line against Taichi Nakajima. The champion is riding a five fight winning streak while the challenger is coming off a win over UFC veteran Yoshinori Horie.
