The two remaining teams for QUINTET FIGHT NIGHT 6 in TOKYO at EX THEATER ROPPONGI on Friday, March 12 have been decided.
Initially, TEAM Miyuu Yamamoto and TEAM AACC were announced to participate in the event, but both teams could not select their team members due to potential fighters' injuries. Thus, two teams, TEAM Fairtex and TEAM Coroblock, were newly chosen to join the event.
TEAM Fairtex members are mainly Jiu-Jitsu athletes and are captained by Carolina De Amorim Kuwahara, who won two titles at the 2017 International Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship. Other members of the team have proven track records as well, including Asian Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship 2017 winner Kanon Kishida, ASJJF DUMAU International Jiu-Jitsu Championship 2020 winner Julyanna Laurentino, Kazuko Sakamoto, who finished second in the ZST Battle Hazard 08 women's GTF tournament and is a disciple of Kazunari Imanari, and Ryoko Yoshida, who finished third in the Asian Jiu-Jitsu IBBJJF Championship 2019 Blue/Rooster category.
