DEVELOPING: GLEAT Announces UWF Championship Tournament

In a series of posts on Twitter, GLEAT has announced a tournament to crown an inaugural Lidet UWF Champion. Based on Akira Maeda’s 1980s-1990s promotion of hybrid wrestling & shootfighting, UWF matches are featured on GLEAT and sometimes G PROWRESTLING events and combine wrestling with MMA, with differences being there are no pinfalls and no closed fist strikes and matches end by KO with a 10 count down like in boxing or by TKO-fighters start with 5 points and lose a point for each down and rope break. Lose 5 points and that ends it. There are also tag team fights called Double Bouts, but only one fighter on each team is ever in at one time.

The tournament will have 8 participants and begin on 3/7 at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo with the Quarterfinals and some non-tournament fights, and the rest plus championship belt reveal on 4/12 at Korakuen Hall. The participants and first fights are are Soma Watanabe vs. Hikaru Sato, Takanori Ito vs. Dan Tamura, Tetsuya Izuchi vs. Shinya Aoki and Yu Iizuka vs. Minoru Tanaka.

More as it becomes available.
