Yamashita has predominantly competed for TJPW in recent months while also making appearances for MLW and TNA, most notably challenging Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts Championship on the April 24th episode of Impact. This will also be Yamashita’s debut match in Bloodsport.
Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport sees competitors compete in a ring with no ropes and no turnbuckles. Victories are obtained either via submission, knockout or referee stoppage in a similar ruleset to MMA.
