As is the custom of CONDOR FC, following the successful CONDOR FC GP finals event, a press gathering was held by President Kazu Kobayashi to announce what was around the corner for CONDOR. With him, was the brand new King of CONDOR champion Michiyoshi Takase who had on a brace around his ankle and walked with a heavy limp.
Kazu Kobayashi announced that starting today there would be a change in protocol. From now on the CONDOR FC rankings will only be released every three months. The reason being that within that three month period, the King of CONDOR; in this case Michiyoshi Takase would be required to face one of the top nine contenders in the promotion as listed on the rankings. With that, Kobayashi pulled out his sheet with the ranks of CONDOR FC...
King of CONDOR: Michiyoshi Takase (4,900)
1. Gabriel Morais (3,000)
2. Hachiro Fujii (2,500)
3. Yuki Uematsu (2,300)
4. Yoshiro Ito (1,800)
5. Tsubasa Saburo (1,800)
6. Akashi "Tiger" Nakamura (1,500)
7. Natsuo Nozaki (1,500)
8. Ryojiro Iwamura (1,500)
9. James Scott (1,500)
Kobayashi said that right now they hadn't decided who Takase's first defense would be against. Michiyoshi Takase spoke, saying that his ankle injury would keep him out of action until November at the earliest. Takase said that he was planning on making his decision early in November based upon what happened in CONDOR up to that point.
Kobayashi spoke again, announcing that the next three events would be linked together. The promotion was being broken down into two parts. The first half of the promotion will face off on September 24th called "ROARING SKY TAKEOFF" will see Akashi "Tiger" Nakamura face off against former boxing champion Hachiro Fujii in the main event. Takase seemed excited about this fight, saying that having faced both he felt Nakamura was the more overall developed fighter, but that Fujii had raw power. He said he'd "love" to fight both again...
The second event in October, named "RIDE ON ROARING SKY" sees a main event of Yuki Uematsu take on Gabriel Morais. Takase called both men "fantastic fighters", and said that he'd never fought anyone as smart as Uematsu, or as determined as Morais. Takase refused to make any predictions, but then turned his attention to the semi main event which sees judo fighter Tsubasa Saburo face off against showboating Shinjiro Sonoda. Takase said he was "interested" in both newcomers. Saburo was the only one of the newcomers to finish his opponent, doing so with ease, while Sonoda survived a blatant uncalled headbutt to win the decision. Takase said he wouldn't mind facing either man...
The final event on the 30th of November will see Michiyoshi Takase make his first defense of the King of CONDOR championship on an event called "CATCH THE ROARING KING".
