BreakingDown 20: Makoto vs 10-nin Niki Match Canceled After Uncontrollable Rampage

BreakingDown 20 officials cancelled the scheduled match between fighters Makoto and 10-nin Niki after Makoto launched a violent rampage during the public weigh-ins on June 13, 2026. According to the event’s official X account, the decision to scrap the bout followed an incident where Makoto attacked personnel and bystanders indiscriminately.

The cancellation comes after a chaotic pre-fight event that Sanspo reports was marked by Makoto’s inability to control his aggression. The fighter, described in reports as a “real delinquent,” allegedly became so enraged that he attacked people around him without distinction. This behavior led organizers to determine the match could not proceed as planned for the June 14 event.

Why was the Makoto vs. 10-nin Niki match cancelled?

The match was cancelled because Makoto’s behavior during the public weigh-ins posed a safety risk and exceeded the boundaries of competitive promotion. ENCOUNT reported that Makoto’s rage reached a level that was too violent for cameras to capture, with some footage deemed unairable due to the severity of the attacks.

The report characterizes the incident as a total loss of control. Makoto reportedly ignored the structured environment of the weigh-ins and began attacking individuals in the vicinity. This volatility made it impossible for the organization to guarantee the safety of the other fighter or the staff, leading to the abrupt removal of the bout from the card.

Who tried to stop the violence at the weigh-in?

Several high-profile figures associated with the BreakingDown circuit attempted to intervene as the situation escalated. According to dMenu News, Junshi Urita and Yusuke Hagiwara both tried to restrain Makoto and stop the violence.

Despite their efforts, the reports state that Makoto remained uncontrollable. Urita and Hagiwara, who are often seen as authoritative figures within the combat sports and “delinquent” subcultures in Japan, were unable to pacify the fighter. The inability of these specific individuals to stop the rampage highlighted the intensity of Makoto’s anger to observers.

How did the public react to the incident?

Public reaction has been largely critical, with many viewers expressing anger over the disruption of the event. ENCOUNT noted that some social media users labeled Makoto the “shame of Kitakyushu” and argued that his actions should result in a permanent ban from the organization.

While much of the backlash focused on the disruption, other observers expressed concern regarding Makoto’s mental state. Some netizens pointed to the way he had to be handled—including reports of people hitting his back to calm him down—as a sign of a deeper issue. Some commenters suggested on social media that the behavior appeared more like a medical or psychological crisis than standard fighter aggression.

How does this fit into BreakingDown’s branding?

BreakingDown frequently markets itself by recruiting individuals with “delinquent” backgrounds to create high-tension matchups. In this instance, sources like ENCOUNT explicitly used the term “real delinquent” to describe Makoto, contrasting his raw aggression with the choreographed tensions often seen in combat sports promotion.

However, this event illustrates a clear boundary between promotional “toughness” and actual liability. While the organization typically leans into the volatility of its participants, the indiscriminate nature of Makoto’s attacks on June 13 forced a shift from entertainment to safety management. The result was a total cancellation rather than a disciplinary warning, marking a sharp contrast to how previous pre-fight scuffles have been handled by the promotion.
