Riki Fukuda to Fight on M-1 Challenge Japan
 Date submitted: 07 April 2009
Author: Mick Bower
Brought in to fight former EliteXC middleweight champion Murilo "Ninja" Rua on just days notice, Riki Fukuda was considered a sizable underdog heading into their face off during DREAM 8 this past Saturday.
In spite of the long odds, Fukuda delivered in the clutch and won his fourth consecutive fight following a unanimous decision victory over Rua at Japan's Saitama Super Arena.
New admirers of Fukuda's hard-nosed, well-rounded fight style won't have to wait long to see him in action again. That's because the Japan native is set to lead Team Japan against the United Kingdom during the next installment of the M-1: Challenge - Japan (25 Apr 2009) in Tokyo at the Shin Juku.
Subtitled "Third Edition," the M-1 Challenge event will feature teams from six different countries going head-to-head in three best-of-five matchups.
The 27-year old Fukuda has fought for promotions such as EliteXC, Shooto, K-1, Pancrase and DEEP. A veteran of 18 fights, Fukuda holds notable victories in his career over current M-1 light heavyweight competitor Jason Jones as well as current UFC welterweight Brandon Wolff.
While the five-man squad for the United Kingdom is still being finalized, M-1 Global officials have revealed that Fukuda will take on Matt "12 Gauge" Thorpe in a middleweight matchup. Thorpe is a long-time veteran of Britain's Cage Warriors promotion. |
