In April of this year, Nakajima made her MLW debut by defeating Delmi Exo to become the new Women’s Featherweight Champion. The title has existed since 2022 with Exo, Janai Kai, and Taya Valkyrie being past champions.

Kamifuku debuted for MLW in June with a victory over Wakana Uehara.

“This summer in Japan, the rivalry turned ugly when Yuki Kamifuku viciously attacked Shoko Nakajima, going as far as to strike the champion with her own championship belt,” MLW wrote. “Now, the world will see the fallout when these two clash in MLW’s return to Dallas/Ft. Worth.”

The Fightland broadcast has a start time of 10 p.m. Eastern.
