Two MMA bouts added

ONE confirmed two more MMA contests for ONE SAMURAI 4 on October 7. Shozo Isojima will face Kota Abe at lightweight, while unbeaten promotional newcomer Yu Takeuchi meets Ryoto Nishiyama at flyweight.

Nishiyama returns after stopping Geun Ho Son in the first round at ONE Friday Fights 168. Isojima enters off a comeback stoppage of former ONE lightweight champion Eduard Folayang, while Abe won his ONE debut against Hero Marco Manguray.

The Tokyo MMA slate

The additions join Itsuki Hirata vs. Jihin Radzuan II, the atomweight rematch already booked for October 17 at Ariake Arena. Radzuan won their first meeting at ONE X in 2022 by split decision.

ONE has not designated any of the three MMA bouts as a championship fight or formal title eliminator. Fight Atlas is keeping the event in upcoming status and will not change fighter records before official results are published.
