Pancrase 367 Preview: Kazuki Kasai Meets Nachyn Sat in Tokyo

On Sunday, Oct. 4, Pancrase returns to New Pier Hall in Tokyo, Japan, for Pancrase 367. The 12-fight card is topped by a lightweight clash between Kazuki Kasai and Mongolia’s Nachyn Sat, while three Neo Blood Tournament finals will put the promotion’s next wave of talent in the spotlight.

Kasai enters the main event with an 11-6 record and represents Mach Dojo. Across from him will be Sat, who is 8-3 and fights out of IdeaJJ Team. There is no title on the line, but the headliner gives both lightweights a chance to close the night with a statement in a division where another strong performance can go a long way.

The co-main event features 2025 Neo Blood Tournament strawweight champion Kaisei Ujihara against Italy’s Riccardo Pala. Ujihara, ranked No. 4 by Pancrase, brings a 5-4-1 record into the matchup, while Pala is 3-4. It is another international pairing near the top of the card, and a win would help Ujihara build on the tournament success that got him into the rankings.

At bantamweight, third-ranked Daiki Arata faces Kunihisa Sasa. Arata is 6-1, while Sasa is 9-6-1 with one no-contest. The women’s atomweight bout pits Sayako, who is 8-3, against Uruguay’s Jimena Osorio, who is 1-1.

One of the more intriguing matchups comes at flyweight. No. 10 Ryohei Kobayashi, 9-5, meets undefeated Issei Tokida, the 2026 Neo Blood Tournament flyweight champion. Tokida is 2-0 and already sits at No. 15 in the promotion’s rankings. This is a chance for the newcomer to test his momentum against an established ranked opponent. At featherweight, Junya Sawaki faces No. 11 Yohei Nada, the 2019 Neo Blood Tournament featherweight champion.

The card also crowns three more Neo Blood Tournament winners. Undefeated Ryosuke Mayumida, 3-0, takes on Sho Miyashita, 3-3, in the featherweight final. Arashi Yamanobe, 2-0, faces Taito Watanabe, 5-3, for the bantamweight tournament crown. At strawweight, unbeaten Tomoya Kamakura, 3-0, meets unbeaten Seiya Saso, 2-0. Someone’s perfect record will go in that final.

Three preliminary bouts round out the lineup, including a bantamweight matchup between Yukito Hamamoto and Daichi Endo, who will both make their professional MMA debuts. All 12 bouts are scheduled for three five-minute rounds.

Pancrase 367 is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. local time, with doors opening at 1 p.m. The event will stream on U-NEXT in Japan and UFC Fight Pass internationally.
