Japan series ~ Volume five. “Little Hercules” Kazuyuki Miyata

Japanese olympic wrestler Kazuyuki Miyata (19-8-0) is a veteran of ROTR, HERO’S, DEEP & DREAM. He has literally fought a who’s who of the lighter weight classes and never backed down from a tough fight even when he was mismatched against some of the best such as Royler Gracie, Joachim Hansen, Genki Sudo, Norifumi Kid Yamamoto. After a tough start to his career at lightweight Miyata took the decision to drop to featherweight, a new and emerging weight class at the time. He revamped his style by bringing in striking coach Sean Frew to help with his Boxing. The results speak for themselves since 2009 as Miyata went on an impressive 6 fight winning streak over notable featherweights such as Takafumi Otsuka, Caol Uno & Takeshi “Lion” Inoue. This impressive winning streak finally earned him a title shot against champion Hiroyuki Takaya in which he lost a close spilt decision. The new and improved Miyata not only has shown great improvements in his boxing but has produced some of the most amazing German suplex’s and Takedowns we have seen. Kazuyuki Miyata is the one to look out for in the featherweight division.
