2/7 Pancrase Passion Tour 1 - Former "Super High-School Student" Participates!

"The Former Super High-school Student" Tetsuya Yamada will make his Pancrase debut against Pancrase superveteran and 1995 Neo-Blood tournament winner, Takafumi Ito. It should be a good test for the 19 year old talent.

Also added is a rematch between Isao and AB. The last fight ended early with an accidental groin kick and the following DQ of AB. Both fighters will be eager to prove they are better and it should be a good fight.

Tomonari Kanomata is also returning to Pancrase to take on the undefeated Grabaka fighter, Shigeyuki Uchiyama.

The last fight added today is between Ryuji Ohori, who is coming in on a 3 fight losing streak. He is taking on Korean Kim Hoon.
