RIZIN returns on July 30 live from Saitama.
Last night at a press conference in Japan, they began to announce match-ups for the first round of their bantamweight grand-prix, as well as separate bouts they are referring to as ‘super fights’.
Kyoji Horiguchi (19-2) vs. Hideo Tokoro (34-29-2)
Horiguchi is widely regarded as a top five flyweight in the world. He made his RIZIN debut in April following a highly successful 8-1 run in the UFC, only losing to P4P king Demetrious Johnson. Horiguchi used his vicious striking attack to defeat a very legit flyweight in the form of Yuki Motoya.
