Inoue — who has become Hawai'i's biggest draw in mixed martial arts events — was recently diagnosed with a fractured orbit bone under his left eye.
Inoue was scheduled to face Jason Miller of California in a 185-pound bout that was promoted as the main event of the card (Miller will instead face Shawn Taylor, who trains at Inoue'sGrappling Unlimited gym).
Inoue was diagnosed with a shattered eardrum after the Suda match, but he said that injury is healed.
This was history in the making, not only would Inoue have the opportunity to be the first Shooto champion from Hawaii, but this would also mark the first time that a Shooto championship bout would be held outside of Japan.
After a while on the ground, Inoue sat on a corner stool to be further checked and monitored by the ringside physicians.
Grappling Classic; and there were rumors which I would not be invited to fight in the Trials.
