Later same year Ologun fought 2 times and reigning K-1 champion Andy Souwer at SHOOT BOXING BATTLE SUMMIT GROUND ZERO TOKYO. Ologun managed to score a first round knockdown on Souwer and also damaged Souwer's nose and bleed the opponent. However Souwer caught up later and dominated Ologun in second & third round to secure a decision win. Andy was to have a rematch with Buakaw Por. Pramuk in 2010, but the fight was delayed due to scheduling conflicts.[2]
