Japanese-based MMA promotion, RIZIN Fighting Federation, has announced the quarter-final match-ups for their bantamweight grand-prix – and amongst them are some barnburners.
The tournament has filled out completely with the addition of two wildcard fighters. Gabriel Oliveira joins the tournament, fresh off the victory over Kawajiri. UFC-veteran Ian McCall has also signed to compete in the tournament.
In the first round, fighters like Kyoji Horiguchi, Manel Kape, Shintaro Ishiwatari, and Khalid Taha won their first bouts all in impressive fashion to advance.
