  - MARLON SANDRO VS TOMONARI KANOMATA IN SENGOKU
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 - by Damon Martin - MMAWeekly.com
Fast rising star, Marlon Sandro, will return to action at the upcoming Sengoku show to face Tomonari Kanomata in a featherweight bout for their show slated for March 7 in Japan and will be shown in the U.S. on HDNet.
The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday by sources close to the fight.
After going undefeated for his first 14 fights, Marlon Sandro (15-1) tasted defeat at the hands of Michihiro Omigawa last year during the Sengoku featherweight tournament. A close split decision cost Sandro the match, and he promptly returned to action in November and knocked out Yuji Hoshino for his troubles.
Sandro is considered one of the top rising fighters in the featherweight division, and he'll hope to keep his latest winning streak alive in March when he faces Kanomata.
Tomonair Kanomata (15-4-5) is a mainstay of the Japanese fight scene, competing primarily for GCM and most recently Pancrase.
A durable fighter who has been in the ring with some of Japan's best, he'll look to unseat Sandro in his first fight for Sengoku in March.
The Sengoku show on March 7 will be headlined by a middleweight title fight pitting Jorge Santiago against Mamed Khalidov, in a rematch from a non-title fight the two had last year in which Khalidov won by TKO.
