Cygames presents RISE ELDORADO 2022 takes place on April 2, 2022, at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. This kickboxing event features Tenshin Nasukawa facing Kazane in his RISE Final Match at bantamweight (-55kg) as the main event. Other fighters include Kento Haraguchi vs. Lompetch Y’ZD Gym, Taiju Shiratori vs. Hideki, and Shiro vs. Rui Ebata across the card. Additional bouts showcase Masahiko Suzuki, Koki Osaki, and K-Jee in various weight classes. It’s a landmark night for RISE in 2022, broadcast live on ABEMA.
RIZIN 38 live from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. The event includes the continuation of their Super Atomweight Grand Prix and Hiromasa Ougikubo’s first appearance since winning a bantamweight tournament last year. In what is the biggest return of the night, RIZIN Bantamweight Champion Kyoji Horiguchi fights in Japan for the first time since late 2020, facing Kintaro in the main event.
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.
