A matchup between 2 determined fighters worthy of the main event for the first RIZIN TRIGGER event.

Both fighters have a combined record of 24 wins, with 18 KO’s

Which predicts what kind of fight this fight will become. Shoji had a great performance showing his full potential during his last fight while Hagiwara struggled to put on a fight he had planned.

New generation striker vs new generation grappler. Both fighters have won the RIZIN amateur challenge series in the past. Suzuki has great striking and Yamamoto has great grappling.

Pro wrestling vs Jiu Jitsu. Prowrestler Okuda will be facing a ground specialist in this fight.

Grant still has holes in his striking due to the lack of MMA experience so Okuda would like to capitalize on it. Striking and physical strength will be Okuda’s strengths while Grant will have the technique and grappling skills. Will Grant’s technique overcome Okuda’s power, or will power crush technique.

Kenji Kato

Strong Points
Striking | Agressiveness | Fighting spirit | Fighti intuition

Katsuya Fujiwara

Strong Points
Striking | Aggressive | Rush

A battle between 2 hard hitting sluggers. Kato has made a name for himself by knocking his opponents out with his speed and power punches. His opponent Fujiwara comes for the SMOKER gym which has been known for producing aggressive strikers. Fujiwara may have the disadvantage with experience but he has plenty of fights in Karate and underground fights that require as much guts than a professional fight. The key to this fight is how Kato will use his experience as an advantage. Utilizing feints and takedowns during the fight will open up chances to land big shots. When this fight ends, it will be in a flash so don’t blink.
