DEEP, on November 13th and 14th, announced a series of additional cards for the upcoming Korakuen Hall show. The most intriguing match up is a middleweight bout between Yuichi Nakanishi and Yuya Shirai. Shirai is the fighter who suffered a very questionable decision loss to Riki Fukuda in the middleweight tournament semi-final. Fukuda went on to fight in the final and lost to Nakanishi. After the semi-final, DEEP head Shigeru Saeki felt the judges were wrong so he even officially requested an explanation from the judges. So this fight between Nakanishi and Shirai can be consider as "another" final of that middleweight tournament which took place earlier this year.
Seven other cards were announced including three fights between team DEEP and team Keishukai.
