Kondo To Defend Pancrase Strap On 8/27

Yuki Kondo will make his Pancrase return on August 27th.

It was previously reported that Pancrase President Masami Ozaki was planning the August 27th BLOW-OUT TOUR card in Yokohama to be a big attraction, and that he wanted to get Pancrase star Yuki Kondo back in the ring to defend his Light Heavyweight title. Now, it appears that Kondo will participate on the card, which will already reportedly see three other title matches in the Heavyweight, Welterweight and Featherweight divisions. It is said that Kondo's opponent may be long time rival Sanae Kikuta, ranked first in the Pancrase Light Heavyweight rankings, or long time PRIDE veteran Daijiro Matsui, who is fifth in the Pancrase Light Heavyweight rankings.
