K-1 MAX Japan Tournament Champion Yuichiro “Jienotsu” Nagashima will get his way as the first round of his Dynamite!! bout with DREAM Lightweight Champion Shinya Aoki will be fought under stand-up rules.
The mixed rules bout will consist of one three minute kickboxing round followed but one five minute round fought under mixed martial arts rules. After those eight minutes if a winner has not been decided then the bout shall be ruled an automatic draw.
A notable bonus for the awkwardly unorthodox but highly powerful Nagashima is that the kickboxing round will be fought using the DREAM open finger gloves. The term “K-1 rules” has been specifically avoided for this reason although the rest of the K-1 rules including the three knockdown system will come into play.
