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.
Kyoji Horiguchi faces former Bellator champion Sergio Pettis in a revenge match!
The “LANDMARK” series will be presented in a different way than previously seen. In the past, “LANDMARK” was a short show that consisted of four or five fights in the RIZIN ring. Another theme of the series was how the cards would take place at an undisclosed location. That will all change this weekend. After RIZIN lost a sponsor this year and in turn had to fold their “TRIGGER” series, the “LANDMARK” show will stick around but adopt a lot of the characteristics of the other b-show. This weekend’s card will be longer in length, and like how “TRIGGER” used to be, it will take place inside a cage instead of the RIZIN ring.
