Gleat MMA Ver.0 was the first combat sport event produced by Lidet Entertainment via the Gleat promotion. It took place on December 14, 2022, at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.

Background

Gleat MMA Ver.0 was the inaugural mixed martial arts event of the professional wrestling promotion Gleat, which was founded by the Japanese advertising company Lidet Entertainment after a few forays in the pro-wrestling business in the late 2010s, producing several events for Tokyo Gurentai, DDT Pro-Wrestling, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, Riki Choshu and Shiro Koshinaka. In 2019, Lidet acquired 75% shares of Pro Wrestling Noah, aiming to reinvigorate the promotion, but then sold all shares to CyberAgent a year later due to financial difficulties. Several days after the sale, Lidet President Hiroyuki Suzuki met with Kiyoshi Tamura, and later announced the formation of a brand new promotion called Gleat.

The promotion focuses on puroresu and shoot-style wrestling, diving its roster and events between a traditional pro-wrestling brand called "G Prowrestling" and a shoot-style brand inspired by UWF International called "Lidet UWF". On September 19, 2022, Gleat announced the creation of a third brand – called "Gleat MMA" – dedicated to promote legitimate mixed martial arts events, the first of which would be held at the Korakuen Hall on December 14, and titled Gleat MMA Ver.0.

The event featured three MMA matches, two kickboxing matches and two grappling matches. Hikaru Sato was scheduled to fight against Taisei. However, Sato injured his back at a Tenryu Project event on December 11 and therefore had to withdraw from the match. The main event featured former Openweight King of Pancrase Yuki Kondo fighting against 22-year-old Gleat pro-wrestler Tetsuya Izuchi in his first professional MMA bout. The match ultimately went to a unanimous decision in favor of Kondo.
