Scheduled to go down tonight, RIZIN 11 has taken a last-minute hit. Rin Nakai is out of her bout against Shizuka Sugiyama due to acute nephritis.
The news was confirmed during the weigh-ins.
Acute nephritis is, essentially, inflamed kidneys. And kidney problems are nothing to sneeze at. So, despite this being a bit of a hit to the card, we wish Rin Nakai a speedy recovery!
Because of the last-minute bout removal, a kickboxing bout has been added to the card to keep it at a solid ten fights.
