The second day of Rizin Fighting Federation's inaugural show began with a rarely seen submission finish.
Japanese star Rena Kubota landed a beautiful flying armbar finish in the second round of her match-up against Jleana Valentino. Invicta FC atomweight champion Ayaka Hamasaki shouted commands from Kubota's corner, while the Saitama Super Arena actively cheered her on throughout the bout. RENA is a renowned Japanese shootboxer and likely someone that Rizin can build as a star in the future.
Rizin FF's second show features the long-awaited return of former Pride FC heavyweight champion and Russian legend Fedor Emelianenko.
