GLEAT 2/11/2026 Results (Updated)

GLEAT Ver. 23, the promotion’s latest signature series event, was held earlier today.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand FOR FREE on YouTube.

The announced paid attendance was 619. BOOYAKA BOOYAKA! (It should also be noted they used a significantly reduced-capacity setup, no opposite-camera bleacher seating. They also claimed in the last few days that ticket sales more than doubled, before about a week ago they only were at around 300)

Match 1: Junjie, Tetsuya Izuchi, Kohei Kinoshita & Andy Wu beat Minoru Tanaka, Kotaro Suzuki, Ryuji Hijinata & Ryo Aitaka. Junjie pinned Aitaka after a rolling lariat.

Match 2: Soma Watanabe, Black Andromeda & TBA, revealed at match time to be Ryota Hama, Takanoti Ito, Andy Panda & Van Vale Jack. Andromeda pinned Panda after an open moonsault press.

Match 3: In a GLEAT MMA No Gi Grappling Bout with 10 1-minute rounds, Yu Iizuka vs. Caol Uno went to a time limit draw.

Match 4: Takehiro Yamamura beat Jack Cartwheel.

Match 5: MICHIKO, Chanyota & Aoi beat Yuna Manase, Riara & Marika Kobashi. MICHIKO pinned Riara after a swivel tombstone piledriver.

Match 6: T-Hawk & Hayato Tamura beat So Daimonji & Shigehiro Irie. T-Hawk pinned Irie after Pluto Porte.

Match 7: G INFONITY Champions Kaito Ishida & KAZMA SAKAMOTO beat ARASHI & JD Lee to retain the titles. SAKAMOTO pinned Lee after a half package driver. V2 for the champs.

Match 8: Lidet UWF Songle Bout: Lidet UWF Champion Katsuhiko Nakajima beat Shinya Aoki by submission to retain the title. V7 for Nakajima.

Main Event: G-REX Champion El Lindaman beat Ryuichi Kawakami to retain the title. V4 for Lindaman. Afterwards, Brass Knuckles JUN came out and left Kawakami’s Anti-GLEAT Monsters faction and Kawakami announced no more monster/shaman/silly gimmicks like his latest “Shaman” one. Back to just plain old Ryuichi Kawakami.

The next event is Lidet UWF Vol. 8 on 3/8 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. Broadcast plans TBA but since it’s Tokyo I anticipate it will be live on YouTube…if so, it would begin on 3/7 at 7 PM PT/10 PM ET.

UPDATE: Pass the salt for this one, but Tokyo Sports reports Katsuhiko Nakajima is hinting at sealing the Lidet UWF Championship and, based on follow-up comments by Soma Watanabe, that could mean the end of Lidet UWF. Tokyo Sports is closer to “dirt sheets” level than outlets like Weekly Pro, Nikkan Sports and others so consider this a 50-50 thing and possibly just an angle.

NEWS: Major GLEAT Departures (Updated x2)

After Purotesu Today reported on some pending GLEAT departures at the end of the year, the promotion announced more on their website, and they’re major…

First up, after rampant rumors about his status, CIMA is leaving the promotion on 12/31. Contract expiring and they couldn’t agree on an extension. CIMA will continue to appear as a freelancer and will appear on at least 6 events next year to make up for the events he missed these last 2 months due to injury after his potential departure was revealed in November.

Second, Ryo Aitaka is also leaving the promotion. Contract expiring. He will continue to compete as a freelancer, including in GLEAT, and also plans to focus more on work as an actor.

Also departing is Commissioner Masato Yoshino, who is retiring on 12/31 when his contract expires. He and CIMA have been with the promotion since the beginning after leaving Dragon Gate (Yoshino had already retired as a wrestler due to injuries). The position will not be filled.

Finally, Executive Director Kiyoshi Tamura will also retire on 12/31 at the end of his contract. No plans for a replacement.

Aitaka’s last match will be on 12/30, a Lidet UWF Single Bout vs. Katsuhiko Nakajima. All except Aitaka had been with GLEAT since the promotion was formed.

Not yet announced-clarification on the promotion’s YouTube plans. If you missed it before, they will terminate their paid channel membership program in one week.

UPDATE: The promotion also announced the plans for YouTube with the paid membership ending: EVERYTHING in 2026 including all events except non-televised/recorded house shows will be available FOR FREE! What’s not yet clear is what will happen to everything that was paywalled this year. Guess we’ll find out in about a week.

UPDATE 2: The 12/30 event will be LIVE FOR FREE on YouTube. May be a slight delay for on demand afterwards.

NEWS: GLEAT Discontinuing YouTube?

In their latest news post today, GLEAT announced that, effective December 29, they will be ending the membership aka paid channel subscription offering on YouTube. While it cost around 900 yen in Japan, it was priced higher outside Japan-in the US where this site’s administrator is located, they charged $8.99/month instead of what should have been closer to $6-7. The membership started at the beginning of this year and all live & on demand event broadcasts (most events but they also do some non-broadcasted events) were moved behind the paywall, and they promised additional members-only content. Anyone who already paid for this month’s subscription will get a full refund. Anything uploaded prior to 2025 is still available without paying.

Future plans for the channel will be announced on social media at a later date.

Injury Report: Brass To Glass Isn’t GLEAT

Ouch, these bad GLEAT injury reports and puns sometimes…maybe having them means you can hit harder but not take them or the old “glass jaw” philosophy as after yesterday’s event the promotion announced that Brass Knuckles JUN won’t be using them, or anything else, in the ring for a while. Broken jaw. Out indefinitely. Presumably it happened in the 3-way for the vacant G-RUSH Championship. The report says a follow-up on a return date would be announced when he knows more, I imagine it’ll be at least a couple months.

More as it becomes available.
