.One more fight at RIZIN 16 has been changed four days before the show goes on in Kobe. this time due to medical reasons. A 59 kg/130 pound kickboxing match between Kunitaka and Kizaemon Saiga will now be Kunitaka vs. Ryuji Horio (19-11-3). Saiga was not cleared to fight by the ophthalmologist, an eye doctor, during his pre-fight medical exams. This stems from a previous orbital fracture that he suffered. A press release from RIZIN stated the doctor’s “diagnosis was that Saiga may be suffering visual field contraction.” In other words, his peripheral version was greatly affected.
