DEEP bantamweight champion Masakazu Imanari will face DREAM/K-1 vet Daiki "DJ.taiki" Hata in a 135-pound non-title affair at DEEP's "50th Impact" on October 24.
Imanari has won four straight bouts in DEEP since being eliminated from DREAM's 2009 Featherweight Grand Prix by eventual winner Bibiano Fernandes. Hata withdrew from the same tournament with an eye injury after besting Hideo Tokoro in the opening round, but has since dropped consecutive decisions to Mitsuhiro Ishida and Kazuyuki Miyata.

That, and DJ.taiki has lost his last two. I don't think he has 'earned' a title shot in the sense of the word.
