{{nihongo|Seichi Ikemoto|{{Langx|ja|池本誠知}}|extra=born August 24, 1975}} is a Japanese mixed martial artist and professional wrestler. He is a veteran of Shooto, PRIDE and DEEP. His specialty is a "double punch", in which he puts his hands together and throws them at his opponent.

Biography and career

Ikemoto is a former holder of the DEEP Welterweight championship,{{cite web|url=http://mmaweekly.com/sakurai-rocks-aoki-at-dream-8-2|title=Sakurai Rocks Aoki at Dream 8|last=Mendoza|first=Ricardo|date=5 April 2009|publisher=MMAWeekly|accessdate=9 May 2011}} which he obtained by defeating Hidehiko Hasegawa at DEEP 36 via unanimous decision. He lost the title by dropping a unanimous decision to Yuya Shirai at DEEP 45 in January 2010.

Ikemoto was a participant in the Dream Welterweight Grand Prix and lost his first-round matchup against Marius Zaromskis by unanimous decision at Dream.8. The fight is most famous for Zaromskis backflipping onto Ikemoto, almost getting caught in a leg lock in the process.

On November 8, 2010, he made his kickboxing debut against veteran fighter Yuya Yamamoto at K-1 World MAX 2010 Final, and lost via knockout in the first round.

Ikemoto lost his retirement fight to Japanese MMA legend Ryo Chonan on April 28, 2013, at Deep: Osaka Impact 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/17956-deep-osaka-impact-2013|title=DEEP Osaka Impact 2013: Seichi Ikemoto's Last Fight|publisher=Tapology.com|date=April 28, 2013}}

Ikemoto is occasionally a professional wrestler and had appeared for All Japan Pro Wrestling and GLEAT.
