Additional members to fight for TEAM Coroblock in the three-way playoff at QUINTET FIGHT NIGHT 6 in TOKYO at EX THEATER ROPPONGI on Friday, March 12, have been decided.​ ​

In addition to previously announced leader Emi Fujino and members WINDY Tomomi and Takayo Hashi, Yuki Ono and Norika Ryu have joined the team. Ono specializes in MMA and is a professional Shooto fighter, known for her outstanding ability to win grappling competitions by multiple Ippons. Ryu is a disciple of Tsuyoshi Kosaka, a.k.a. TK, who also participated in QUINTET matches in the past. Although her strength is in striking, she is known for her toughness in a pinch, such as her win with an armbar in the finals at the Amateur Shooto Competition in Japan.

While all the members of TEAM Coroblock are MMA fighters, Takayo Hashi and Norika Ryu have participated in amateur QUINTET matches before. Emi Fujino and WINDY Tomomi have studied Jiu-Jitsu and have grappling skills. They are physically strong compared to the other two teams and have excellent overall ability. Let's look forward to seeing how they battle their fights out.

Reon Niwa and Shota Nagano will be the fighting in the opening match. Reon Niwa is said to be the young starfighter at Axis Jiu-Jitsu Academy, a Japanese branch of Rickson Gracie International Jiu-Jitsu Association (RGIJJA). He has undergone training in the United States with his brother Hiryu Niwa and is the prodigy of the modern Jiu-Jitsu world. His opponent, Shota Nagano, is the rising star of TEAM Tokoro Plus, led by Hideo Tokoro. He has been training and sparring with Kazushi Sakuraba and is quickly building up his strength. His fighting style is quite a spectacle; following his master, Hideo Tokoro, he keeps on moving throughout fights. The fight time for the opening match is 8 minutes, and the catchweight is 65kg. Let's look forward to an extremely aggressive match between these two young fighters!
