Kondo vs Sasaki in SENGOKU.5.

SENGOKU had a press conference. 3 additional fights; Yuki Kondo vs Yuki Sasaki, Evangelista Cyborg vs. Siyar Bahadurzada and Ryan Schultz vs. Jorge Masvidal, were announced.

Kuniyasu (public relations):
Kondo is an experienced MMA fighter; however, he hadn't had opportunities to win for a while. He participates in the middle weight tournament because he won by KO in PANCRASE recently. Both of them belonged to PANCRASE before; although, they haven't fought before. I think there are many fans who wanted to see they fought. I hope they deliver an exciting fight to our fans.
Kondo:
I'm appreciative of giving me an opportunity to participate in the tournament. I have fought many Japanese fighters who belonged to GRABAKA. I finally get a chance to fight Sasaki. He is a well-balanced fighter. I want to have the best fight in my MMA career. I have seen fights which tables were turned on his opponents, and he won. He is mentally tough for sure and never give up.
Sasaki:
This is the first time for me to fight a Japanese fighter in SENGOKU. It's hard to fight someone who I know well. We have even talked about our fighting style. I want to show everything I have and would like to have a great fight.
