Rizin FF announced on Thursday afternoon that two bouts have been added to the Rizin Fighting World GP 2017 card, which takes place July 30 at Saitama Super Arena. A heavyweight showdown between Amir Aliakbari and Tyler King and a light heavyweight clash between Teodoras Aukstuolis and Karl Albrektsson will help round out the event.
Aliakbari was the runner-up at Rizin GP 2016, losing to Mirko Filipovic in the finals. The former wrestling standout came back with a vengeance in April when he flattened Geronimo dos Santos in the first round.
