Tatsuya Kawajiri Vs Shinya Aoki At FieLDS Dynamite

by Andrew Gladstone - 11-22-2009

Sources close to FEG have informed MMA Recap that Tatsuya Kawajiri (25-5-2) will be taking on DREAM lightweight champion Shinya Aoki (22-4) at Dynamite on New Years Eve.   

At this time however, it is unclear as to whether or not Aoki will be defending his lightweight title.

Shinya Aoki is coming off an impressive victory over Joachim Hansen by armbar in round 2 at Dream 11.  Aoki has been one of the best lightweight for sometime, and if he is successful over Kawajiri he will undoubtedly hold more wins over top ranked light weights than any lightweight fighter.  There is no secret that Aoki will undoubtedly look to bring this fight to the mat and work his submission game to beat Kawajiri.

In Kawajiri’s last fight he won via technical knock out over Melchor Manibusan.  Kawajiri has recently gone 1-1 in the K-1 kickboxing promotion, but he has shown signs of improvement, despite the loss to the great Masato.  If Kawajiri is to be successful he will need to keep this fight on the feet and stuff Aoki’s takedowns.  

Stay tuned to MMA Recap as more info on this fight develops.
