Today at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 9, Kota Ibushi is scheduled to have his first match back since suffering a shoulder injury on October 21, 2021 in a bout against Kazuchika Okada. He is set to face IMPACT Wrestling star Mike Bailey.
That match could be in jeopardy as Kota Ibushi revealed on social media that he has re-injured his right shoulder.
色々分かったけど、これ復帰戦だよなぁ。。
すごいナメられてる感じしかしないのはなぜだろう。MMAジムでなぜ右肩をまた怪我させられたんだろう。#複雑#復帰前に仕掛けられる#日本人なめられないように頑張るまぁ、２日目も怪しいけどそれでも壊れないように頑張るし日本人の力見せつけます。
