"I returned to Shooto because I like fighting in Shooto," Gomi said. "This is where I debuted and I want to show my gratitude."
Gomi then turned to the champ and said, "I don't know much about you, but I will definitely win."
"Gomi picked me as his opponent and I was offered this fight three days ago," Nakakura said afterwards. "I was upset by his speech in the ring today. However, I respect him and will have a great fight [with him]. This is a non-title bout, but I'm sure he is going to retire if he loses."
Also on the May 10 card will be Takeshi "Lion" Inoue vs. Rumina Sato and Koutetsu Boku vs. Yutaka Ueda.
