Nasukawa is in the process of leaving RIZIN FF in order to pursue a career in straight boxing.

It’s unclear what weight the fight will take place at as Tenshin usually fights at 128 pounds, while Gomi’s last appearance saw him weigh in at 172 pounds but he has previously fought between featherweight and welterweight.

Earlier this year, Nasukawa again tried his luck in the squared circle only this time under a modified ruleset against three different opponents who fought one round each and after the there rounds a no decision was declared.
