Biography

Kobe native Tatsumi was inspired by watching Japan’s PRIDE FC to start training in MMA in 2008. Originally an elite Judoka, he felt that he had not achieved as much as he wanted to in his initial martial art of Judo, and saw MMA as a way to continue competing at the highest level of martial arts. Tatsumi proved his fighting spirit by making his MMA debut against a 16-fight veteran at M-1, and with the lessons learned in that trial by fire, he followed up with an impressive win streak – most of them by TKO – earning himself a spot on Legend’s roster. With his aggressive fighting style, Tatsumi is looking to make his mark on the Legend Middleweight division. Asked to describe his fighting style, he summarized it simply: “On my feet and on the ground, I throw punches. A lot of punches.” With a style like that, this ground-and-pound brawler will be quick to make an impression on the Legend fans.
