RIZIN and Bellator promoters Nobuyuki Sakakibara and Scott Coker hosted a press conference in Tokyo, Japan Wednesday to announce further details about the organizations’ cross-promotional show on Dec. 29, most notably to announce the main event of the card—Fedor Emelianenko vs. Quinton Jackson.
After revealing the main event for the Saitama event, Coker also explained that he planned to bring a team of three fighters from Bellator over to Japan for the card, citing Kyoji Horiguchi’s recent meetings with Darrion Caldwell of examples of cross-promotional bouts the promotions have created in the past.
