U-NEXT Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tenshin Tsutsumi), which operates the video streaming service 'U-NEXT' under the USEN & U-NEXT GROUP, will live stream 'Sohmei Kensetsu Presents DEEP 131 IMPACT 25th Anniversary' on May 4, 2026 (Monday/Holiday).

This tournament is a special event commemorating DEEP's 25th anniversary. Five major title fights are scheduled, including the DEEP Featherweight Interim Championship bout, the DEEP Bantamweight Interim Championship bout, and the DEEP Strawweight Title Match. The lineup features skilled fighters who are regulars in RIZIN, such as Kyohei Ushiku, Jinnosuke Kashimura, Daichi Abe, Takeshi Izumi, Kenta Takizawa, and Daisuke Nakamura. Yokohama BUNTAI, the venue, is larger than typical DEEP events, and all tickets except for unreserved seats have already sold out, indicating high anticipation for the event.

In the main card's Featherweight Interim Championship bout, former champion Kyohei Ushiku aims to reclaim his title against rising star Shinta Mizuno. In the Bantamweight Interim Championship bout, Sho Hirama and Jinnosuke Kashimura will clash, while in the Strawweight Title Match, champion Sora Sugiyama and Subaru Chimura will fight for the belt. Be sure to enjoy the dawn of a new era for DEEP through U-NEXT's live stream.

Additionally, a documentary closely following DEEP representative Shigeru Saeki, is currently being distributed on the official U-NEXT Combat Sports YouTube channel. You can look back at the 25-year history of the organization before the main event.
