RIZIN 12 Recap: Hard-fought submissions, big knockouts, and another quality RIZIN event

RIZIN 12 just concluded live from Nagoya, and they’ve delivered yet again.

It was a twelve fight card, made up of five kickboxing bouts and seven mixed martial arts bouts. What we saw was a night that featured not one lackluster fight, some wild finishes, and a crazy main event.

Similar to what was done for RIZIN 11, let’s do a full recap of the card – from top to bottom.

Luiz Gustavo vs. Yusuke Yachi

The main event was a banger in the lightweight division.

The promotion’s premier lightweight, KRAZY BEE’s Yusuke Yachi, took on an unknown Brazilian in the form of Luiz “Killer” Gustavo, a protégé of the legendary Wanderlei Silva.
