Buy tickets at http://www.luchatickets.com and Eventbrite.com starting at just $10.
Hailing originally from Osaka but now calling Mexico home, Okumura, known as the “Luchador Japonés,” brings a unique blend of Japanese and Mexican wrestling styles to the ring.
Okumura made his debut in 1994, journeying throughout Japan and competing at the highest level from All Japan Pro Wrestling to FMW, before entering CMLL.
With an illustrious career spanning two decades in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Okumura has established himself as a seasoned veteran and a force to be reckoned with. During his tenure in Mexico’s most prestigious wrestling organization, Okumura achieved a significant milestone by capturing the CMLL World Trios Championship alongside Hiroshi Tanahashi and Taichi, solidifying his reputation.
Now, representing CMLL, Okumura embarks on a new journey in MLW.
Often teaming up with Satoshi Kojima in MLW as the formidable “CozyMAX” team, the duo won the MLW World Tag Team Championship earlier this year.
Okumura now looks towards making a big statement in Chicago at Lucha Apocalypto.
As a thank you to Chicago fans for selling out Chicago for our May 11 event a half-month in advance, the November return will be a special fan appreciation event with tickets starting at $10.
Lucha Apocalypto will feature MLW fighters and CMLL’s grandest luchadores. Matches will be announced at MLW.com.
