9/21 ZST 21. and SWAT! in FACE Vol. 3 - Fights Announced

ZST will be putting on another day of MMA in Shinjuku Face on September 21.

The day will kick off with the SWAT event around lunchtime (12.30) and continue in the afternoon with ZST 21.

The ZST ticket is the more expensive and it will have the better fighters, the SWAT card, as always will put up some very talented fighters, and this time there are Genesis tournament finals on both cards.

Wataru Inatsu is one of those fighters that the record does not really do justice. He has faced mostly top level fighters. He broke Emerson Azuma's 5 fight winning streak and this time he will face the 1st ZST champion in Keisuke Fujiwara.

The very experienced 33 year old Osami Shibuya is the 2nd ZST welterweigght champion and will face a very good fighter in Tomohiko Yoshida. Yoshida has only 1 loss on his fight record, that being to a top level fighter in Hiroshi Tsuruya.

There should be lots more fights added to both these cards and it will be a great day of fights in Shinjuku Face!
