Sengoku Raiden Championships has all but taken complete shape. A stacked card which features the likes of Jorge Santiago, Nick Thompson and Kazuo Misaki now bolsters another high profile Japanese name: Akihiro Gono. The surpriser? He’ll be making his lightweight debut.

A well rounded opponent who’s secured plenty of quality victories in various weight classes, Gono may just be something to look out for at lightweight. His first opponent in the 155 pound division will be Jadamba Narantungalag, a virtual MMA neophyte.

While a victory likely, it’s foreign territory for Gono, and as we’ve learned over the years, anythig can happen.

Jorge Santiago vs. Kazuo Misaki
