Sengoku Raiden Championship promoter World Victory Road added two final fights on Monday to its “Soul of Fight” end of year event, bringing the total to 28 fights.

UFC and Pride veteran Ryo Chonan will look to back up a dominating victory over an outclassed Jun Hee Moon at Deep 50th Impact against Bellator welterweight tournament finalist Dan Hornbuckle. Megumi Fujii attempts to rebound from the first controversial loss of her 23 fight career when she takes on Emi Fujino, who recently snapped a four-fight losing streak with a 24-second submission win at Valkyrie 8.

The mammoth event, which will be held at the Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo, Japan, is planned to be a family friendly and festival-like atmosphere with fight fans free to come and go throughout the day. Selected bouts from the Dec. 30 event will air in North America on HDNet.

Sengoku Raiden Championship promoter World Victory Road added four more fights on Friday to its “Soul of Fight” end of year event, bringing the total to 27 fights.

Sengoku’s brightest prospect Maximo Blanco will face one of the toughest tests of his young career as he takes on the underrated Won Sik “Parky” Park. Blanco was originally set for a lightweight title fight but as his planned opponent, Kazunori Yokota, was unable to get past Brian Cobb at SRC 15 in October ended those plans. Park has been the victim of unfortunate circumstances over they past year as his debut against Kuniyoshi Hironaka at DREAM 12 in October 2009 was spoiled by an eye poke and his tune-up fight in Deep against Ryuki Ueyama was ruled a no contest after a disputed referee stoppage.

Former SRC featherweight champion Masanori Kanehara will return to action to take on DREAM representative Yoshiro Maeda. Maeda is coming off a solid but narrow victory over former DEEP featherweight champ Takafumi Otsuka while Kanehara will be looking for his first win since losing his belt to Marlon Sandro.
