A few days ago, RIZIN announced that Kanna Asakura would face Ayaka Hamasaki in a stellar atomweight contest at RIZIN 14.
This fight was pretty inarguably to determine the best 105-lb woman on the planet. Well now, RIZIN has added even more stakes to the match-up. During a RIZIN 14 press conference late Thursday, it was confirmed that the bout will be for an official world title.
The RIZIN Atomweight Championship bout will be the first official world title fight in promotional history.
