Shoulder surgery
I will keep my head up and work on what I can do right now. I believe in myself as you guys do. I will keep you guys posted on my rehab life.
Lastly, even though I can't make myself it to the cage, some sponsors are still supporting me. I am such a blessed guy. Please kindly keep your eyes on my come back.
I deeply apologize for being quiet on social media and I know many of my fans are following me and catch up with what's going on with me.
I was pulled out from a fight in Japan due to serious injury during fight camp. This is the first time to cancel my scheduled bout in my professional career.
Surgical treatment is needed to come back 100% and it has been a very rough time for me. I have been busy seeing physical therapists, chiropractors, and orthopedic doctors. Eventually, I got a second opinion and got surgery yesterday after chasing with so many possibilities.

Fought as a UFC fighter. Researches as a biohacker. And now, sat behind the mic on French combat sports media. During a trip to Nice for the Hololife Summit Côte d'Azur 2026, Tateki Matsuda appeared on JAB Life's "Ground & Talk" — the French-language MMA platform co-hosted by Boxing Squad head coach Aldric Cassata and former RMC Sport journalist Alexandre Herbinet. Sharing the episode with UFC fighter Axel Sola, fresh off a Fight of the Night at UFC London, Tateki discussed his career in the Octagon, the evolution of Japanese MMA, and his mission to bridge combat sports and sports science at the international level.
