The quarterfinals of RIZIN’s ongoing bantamweight grand prix will take place at RIZIN 30, which is set to go down at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on Sept. 19.
Promotion officials announced the card on Tuesday along with the matchups slated for the next round in the grand prix tournament.
Former RIZIN bantamweight champion Kai Asakura will return to action after winning his opening round bout with a first-round TKO as he seeks to eventually get back to another title shot. His next challenge will come against Alan Yoshihiro Yamaniha, who earned a unanimous decision over Kazuma Kuramoto to advance into the quarterfinal round of the tournament.
