Hatsu Hioki (Japanese: 日沖発, Hioki Hatsu) (Japanese pronunciation: [çioki hatsɯ], born July 18, 1983) is a Japanese former professional mixed martial artist competing in the featherweight division.

Mixed martial arts career

TKO Major League MMA

Hioki won his first MMA title in the Canadian promotion TKO Major League MMA, by defeating Mark Hominick for the featherweight belt. Prior to this Hioki had only one loss to Hiroyuki Takaya in Shooto and had a record of 8-1-1. He successfully defended this title twice before participating in the Sengoku Featherweight Grand Prix tournament.

Sengoku Featherweight Grand Prix

Hioki defeated Masanori Kanehara in the semi-final of the tournament but was unable to continue on to the final to fight Michihiro Omigawa due to an injury in his bout with Kanehara. Kanehara replaced Hioki for the final and ended up winning the tournament.

Shooto Featherweight Championship

On May 30, 2010 Hioki fought Takeshi Inoue for the Shooto Featherweight Championship (143 lbs) and won by a split decision making him the 9th fighter to win it and the 8th Japanese fighter to do so. Hioki had a controversially lost to Antonio Carvalho during his Shooto career.

Sengoku Featherweight Championship

After defeating Jeff Lawson at Sengoku Raiden Championships 14, Hioki received a title shot against then WVR: Sengoku Featherweight Champion Marlon Sandro. The Championship fight was held at World Victory Road Presents: Soul of Fight on December 30, 2010. Hioki defeated Sandro via unanimous decision. Hioki's superior reach and movement allowed him to out land and counter the aggressive Brazilian.[2] Hioki became the third featherweight Champion for Sengoku.

Hioki vacated the title on June 25, 2011 after signing with the UFC.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

On the same date he vacated the Sengoku Featherweight Championship: June 25, 2011, UFC officials announced that Hioki had signed a multi fight deal with the UFC. He debuted at UFC 137 on October 29, 2011, where he defeated George Roop via split decision.

Hioki faced Clay Guida on January 26, 2013 at UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson.[4] Despite landing more strikes than Guida, and consistently looking for submissions after being taken to the ground, Guida was awarded the split decision.[5]
