After dropping a two-round decision to “Flash” Bibiano Fernandes (5-1) in the DREAM Featherweight Grand Prix last March, Takafumi Otsuka (5-3) didn’t let another 145-pound title slip through his fingers Sunday at DEEP 43 Impact in Tokyo. Otsuka won a three-round decision over former UFC lightweight Dokonjonosuke Mishima (18-7-2) to snag Mishima’s DEEP featherweight belt.

In a battle between former UFC welterweights and all-time DEEP legends, “Piranha” Ryo Chonan (16-10) won a three-round decision over Jutaro Nakao (22-13-4). Chonan broke the two-fight losing streak ending his 1-3 run in the Octagon last April

DEEP bantamweight champ “Ashikan Judan” Masakazu Imanari (16-7-1) defended his title from Tomohiko Hori (6-5-2) in another three-round decision.

    Ryushi has been a very talented but underated fighter for many years. He began in pancrase and did very well, fighting most of the big names. He was a very versatile fighter and competed in many styles. He was a great kickboxer. He was always in the shadow of the founders, Suzuki and Funaki. Too bad his comeback after five years did not go better. have seen him as a cornerman in all of the talented Minowa’s fights.
