Yushin Okami is dropping down to the welterweight division and he will make his 170 pound debut in the main event of WSOF 21 on June 5th against Ryan Ford.
WSOF President Ray Sefo announced the fight booking on Thursday night and the co-main event of WSOF 21 will be a title fight as Smealinho Rama defends heavyweight title against Blagoi Ivanov.
Okami (30-9) is coming off a TKO defeat to current WSOF middleweight champion David Branch in November and has dropped two of his last three fights. He is 1-1 in the WSOF and the victory came against Svetlozar Savov.
Ford (22-5) will also enter this fight following a defeat as he lost to Jake Shields in October. The defeat snapped a six fight winning streak and it was his first defeat since 2011.
WSOF 21 will come from the Edmonton Expo Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and the main card will air on NBCSN.
