Former UFC flyweight contender Ulka Sasaki has his next Rizin fight booked.
The Japanese fighter is set to face former Pancrase champion Shintaro Ishiwatari in a bantamweight fight at Rizin 17. The event is set to go down at the Saitama Super Arena on July 28. The news was announced by the promotion on Sunday morning.
Sasaki made his Rizin debut in December where he outpointed Manel Kape in a unanimous decision. With the victory over Kape, Sasaki bounced back from his November loss to Alexandre Pantoja at UFC Argentina. Sasaki is 22-6-2 in his professional MMA career.
