Ahead of UFC 303, the WWE starlet made an emotional plea to the fans on his social media handles.
Shinsuke Nakamura on UFC 303
Shinsuke Nakamura is one of the biggest stars to come out of Japan. He took over the WWE world with death-defying stunts in the wrestling ring. The UFC fever seems to have caught on to the stuntman as he will appear in UFC 303 in the Sin City. His fellow Japanese national Rei Tsuruya is about to debut in the UFC 303 against Carlos Hernandez. Nakamura will be on the cage side to support Rei. Shinsuke wrote,
Rei Tsuruya @mma_rei 🇯🇵 is making his UFC debut this weekend. Your support means the world to us. I’ll be in his corner as part of his support team.
Nakamura wanted the world to support Rei’s debut at UFC 303. Shinsuke is a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and has even won four matches in mixed martial arts. There has been no Japanese champion in the UFC until now. It will be interesting to see how far Tsuruya goes in the Flyweight division and how he fares in his first fight. Currently, he boasts an unbeaten record.
