A light heavyweight title bout between RIZIN champion Jiri Prochazka and UFC veteran CB Dollaway isn’t the only addition to the New Years Eve card in Saitama on Dec. 31, as both RIZIN and Bellator announced new match-ups for their upcoming year-end cards in Japan.
Five other match-ups have been officially announced for RIZIN 20. RIZIN’s bantamweight title, recently vacated by Kyoji Horiguchi, will be on the line for Kai Asakura (14-1) and Manel Kape (14-4). Asakura, who knocked out Horiguchi in just 68 seconds earlier this year, also holds a split decision win over Kape.
