Bellator fighter Toby Imada has been announced for the June 5 show for Japan's Shootboxing organization. Shootboxing is essentially a kickboxing organization, although they also allow throws and standing submissions (so the flying inverted triangle would be good to go). Imada made his Shootboxing debut last year as a late replacement in the company's prestigious S-Cup tournament. There, he pulled off a massive upset, defeating reigning champion and top 5 kickboxer Andy Souwer via decision before losing in the finals to Buakaw Por. Pramuk. Imada will face Shootboxing star Hiroki Shishido on the 5th. Photo courtesy of Bellator. HT: HeadKickLegend
