The main event of Rizin 40 will crown an atomweight tournament champion when Seika Izawa will rematch Si Woo Park. The first time they met was in DEEP, with Izawa walking away with the unanimous nod. Also on the card will be the promotional debut of ex-UFC flyweight Rogerio Bontorin. He will be taking on top bantamweight Yuki Motoya at 135-pounds. After a successful bare knuckle one-off, another UFC veteran in John Dodson will be making his Rizin debut.
