Daisuke Nakamura has earned a reputation in MMA circles for being an incredible and flashy grappler, having great bouts with the likes of Hideo Tokoro and several others. On the wrestling side, he approaches things in a similar way, relying on his speed and athleticism to work the mat in a very smooth fashion. Nakamura got his start in U-Style, and had a great match with Frank Shamrock. He has bounced around the Japan indies scene for a while, and has recently found a home in Kyushu Pro, where he had a great match with Hitamaru Sasaki in 2021.

vs Kazuki Okubo (12/7/2004)

vs Frank Shamrock (11/23/2005)

w/Yu Kobayashi vs Takatoshi Matsumoto & Tsuyoshi Okada (9/21/2019)

vs Hitamaru Sasaki (9/6/2021)

He looks great whenever he steps in the ring, but he's only had about 40 matches, a chunk of which we don't even have on tape unless somebody is going to steal Kiyoshi Tamuras hard drive to get us the U-FILE files. Another guy who's worth considering if you really, really, really like shootstylists.
