Fighter comments · English translation
Kurata Iekobo
I run the Iekobo Ishikari handyman franchise. After about 13 years, I will return to competition as a professional handyman. My work is about meeting customers’ varied needs and making them happy. I promise to satisfy everyone who buys a ticket, PFC Chairman Yamamoto, and the companies sponsoring me. P.S. I’m looking for corporate sponsors!
Kanta Okamura
I’m Kanta Okamura from Albatross. My last fight was a pro-qualification bout in October 2025, so this will be my first fight in a year. I’ll be ready on the day and want a KO or submission finish, win or lose. Kurata is strong, with no gaps from start to finish, but I won’t lose. I want everyone to see my MMA in full flow. I’m ready to stand and trade without clinching or takedowns. Let’s give it everything!

Fighter comments · English translation
Hinata Sato
I lost at the last PFC and cannot afford to keep losing. I want to win here and climb to the top. I will show you an underdog becoming a strong fighter!
Riku Hoshikawa
I was scheduled to fight Hinata Sato on March 29, but an injury two weeks before the fight required three months to heal and forced the cancellation. This is my first fight in ten months and my first at bantamweight in over a year. I’ll prepare properly and face Sato with respect for accepting the fight again. Thank you for your support!

Payton Dillberg
VS
Junto Suzuki
Preview
Dielberg, who won by submission at PFC.40, faces Suzuki, a decision winner in grappling at PFC.38. Can Suzuki use technique to overcome a substantial size difference?
Fighter comments · English translation
Payton Dillberg
I want an MMA fight soon! First, I’m competing in grappling. Watch closely — I’m going to keep climbing!
Junto Suzuki
I’m grateful to return to PFC. First, I sincerely thank Mr. Yamamoto for giving me another opportunity after I missed weight last time. I won’t take these opportunities for granted; I want to respond with results and actions in every fight. This is an openweight grappling match. Looking at the size difference, people may think the smaller fighter is at a disadvantage. I want to overturn the idea that being smaller means you can’t win. I want to prove that a smaller fighter can win with the right approach, and that challenging yourself matters in any situation. I’ll give everything again. Thank you for your support!

Osu, I’m Oguro from POD GYM. I’m grateful to compete again after the last event. There is still plenty I haven’t shown. I’ll bring it out and win. Thank you for your support!
Ryuki Kashu
October 11, 2026. PFC.42. This is the day I make my professional MMA debut. My opponent is Eiichi Oguro, a tough fighter ranked No. 14 at PFC bantamweight. Whoever the opponent is, my task stays the same. Daily practice of the basics and decision-making, and all the sweat shared with my family and teammates — I will turn it all into strength and show techniques that flow instinctively. My professional debut is a chance to discover more. Ryuki Kashu, the Blue Beast of the North. On October 11, I’m letting loose. Thank you for your support.

Daichi Kiyota
I’m making my first appearance at 45. I’ve competed in amateur grappling several times, but this is a professional bout, so I want to prepare properly. If I’m fighting at PFC, I want a submission win, and I’ll keep training toward that goal. I’ll work hard to put on a fight that excites the crowd. Thank you for your support.
