Pancrase decided to strip Andy Main title, Since Main is no longer their champ, Pancrase decided to promoted the interim champ UFC veteran Tamura to the new official featherweight champion.

Main will be competing in Road FC one million dollar tournament starting on February 11th, therefore, Pancrase decided to strip his belt.

The first title defense of the Pancrase Featherweight champion Issei Tamura is set to take place in Pancrase 285, and its going to be against Nazareno Malegarie.

Couple solid title fights. Wish Pancrase would return back to the ring.

^^^KSW was bad enough, but Pancrase? They have been around sonce before UFC!
