Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium
Kanagawa, Japan
Japanese promotion Pancrase, now in its thirteenth year of production, announced several cards for their October 2 Spiral Tour show, set to take place at the Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium in Kanagawa, Japan.
UFC veteran Mike Kyle (Pictures), who recently parted from American Kickboxing Academy to join Team Cro Cop in Croatia, will make his Pancrase debut against super heavyweight King of Pancrase Tsuyoshi Kohsaka (Pictures) in a non-title fight.
In the main event, light heavyweight K.O.P. Yuki Kondo (Pictures), who was scheduled to rematch number one contender Sanae Kikuta (Pictures), will now face PRIDE veteran Hiromitsu Kanehara (Pictures) due to a severe knee injury that will sideline the former ADCC champ for at least eight months. Kanehara, who has dropped five straight to the likes of Wanderlei Silva (Pictures), Mirko Filipovic (Pictures), Alistair Overeem (Pictures) and Mauricio Rua (Pictures), looks to pick up his first win since December of 2001 when he edged Golden Glory's Paul Cahoon at Rings Title Series 5.
