Daisuke Nakamura (Japanese: 中村大介, born June 10, 1980) is a Japanese professional mixed martial artist and a former DEEP Lightweight Champion who has fought for DREAM, Strikeforce, M-1 Global, ZST, Cage Rage, PRIDE, K-1 and Cage Force promotions. He holds notable victories over Nigerian K-1 kickboxer Andy Ologun, DREAM Bantamweight Champion Hideo Tokoro, former DEEP Welterweight Champion Seichi Ikemoto. Nakamura is also known for his incredible armbar variations, with most of his wins coming by armbar, and is famous for his tributes to the shoot-style circuit, often wearing the style's signature kneeboots and short-tights in his fights.
He has also competed in professional wrestling, working for the U-STYLE promotion led by his trainer Kiyoshi Tamura.
Nakamura had his debut fight in PRIDE Fighting Championship against veteran journeyman Shannon Ritch at PRIDE The Best Vol.2. He showed his skill by submitting Ritch with an inverted armbar. He spent his next years fighting in GCM and DEEP, where he challenged for the Welterweight Championship, losing an effortful match by TKO at the third round. He would later enjoy a 8 matches winning streak.
