RIZIN 23 serves to crown a new bantamweight champion when Hiromasa Ougikubo meets Kai Asakura in the headliner. The undercard is full of prospects, including Kazumasa Majima, Makoto Takahashi and Tatsuki Saomoto. Kickboxing fans will be treated to a rematch between Taiga and Kento Haraguchi, plus the return of KAITO.

RIZIN 43 live from the Makomanai Sekisui Heim Arena in Sapporo, Japan. The event has been somewhat overshadowed by the colossal Rizin vs Bellator 2 event just around the corner. While not having the star power of the July’s copromotion Rizin’s inaugural venture into Hokkaido is stacked with intriguing, well matched fights that promise a bit of everything. 13 matches grace the main card with an additional 4 preliminaries, showcasing the caliber of fighters fans have come to expect.
