Two big announcements in regards to RIZIN and women’s MMA, as they have signed Miyu Yamamoto, sister of ‘KID’ Yamamoto, mother of Asen Yamamoto, and daughter of former Olympian Ikuei Yamamoto. The other big announcement is that RIZIN is currently in talks to sign Saori Yoshida, 3x Olympic gold medalist in wrestling.
Both women would be making their mixed martial arts debuts.
Yamamoto had a very successful career in women’s wrestling, and was one of the females who put such a minor sport on the map in a big way in Japan.
