Gono Wins Qualification GP! Advancement To Thailand

Akihiro Gono participated in a 4-man qualification tournament on the 29th in Japan. The winner of the tournament will get a spot as the Japanese representative in a tournament in THAI FIGHT in Thailand later this year.

Gono made 70kg this time (he missed weight and looked very bad physically at the weigh-ins for his Kick return fight against Yuya Yamamoto in Krush) and fought a total of six rounds, winning the semifinal and final by unanimous decision.

There are some photos from his final fight here. His semifinal opponent is from Team Dragon (Urabe bros, Ozaki, Kyotaro, etc.) and his final opponent from Silver Wolf.
