4/25 ASTRA - Omigawa vs. Miller Announced

The Astra card will be all about Yoshida's farewell. But I am sure there will be some other big fights on the card too. Today one of them was announced.

Omigawa really turned his career around with his performance in the Sengoku featherweight tournament. In 2009 he went 5-1-1, making his MMA record 9-8-1. He will be taking on ATT fighter and DREAM, WEC and Shine veteran Micah Miller.

The other fight announced today will see the very promising Tatsunao Nagakura, who will take on the more experienced Akihiko Mori.

Added:
Michihiro Omigawa 9-8-1 vs. 13-3-0 Micah Miller
Tatsunao Nagakura 5-0-0 vs. 8-7-1 Akihiko Mori
