DEEP has announced five more fights for their 10th Anniversary DEEP 50th Impact event, confirming some of the bouts leaked by ticketing service E-Plus,

Ryo Chonan vs Jung Hwan Cha, Hidetaka Monma vs Yoshihisa Yamamoto, Ryuta Noji vs Hiroshi Nagao, Isao Terada vs Yoshiki Harada and Shoji Maruyama vs Tatsunao Nagakura have all be added to the mega-card with the only change from the leak being Jung Hwan Cha stepping in for the Bellator bound Yoshiyuki Yoshida. Chonan will get a shot at revenge after he suffered a shock KO loss to Cha at Astra back in April.

Shinya Aoki, Ikuhisa Minowa, Kazuo Misaki, Won Sik “Parky” Park, Akira Shoji, Daiki “DJ Taiki” Hata and Kazunori Yokota are among the names that were originally leaked as participants by E-Plus but have not yet been made official.

The full announced and rumored cards after the break.
