    Who do you think would win? If the fight were to take place at 118 lbs (Bantamweight) ?


    Daigo Higa is quite close to his prime, but Kazuto Ioka is slightly declining but still dangerous as ever.

    I think Daigo might edge it

    I personally think the contrary... I think Daigo Higa's style is truly a weakness against the Kazuto Ioka's counter style. I think it would make for a fight similar to Ioka vs Kosei Tanaka.

    Ioka picks him apart and stops him mid to late rounds.
