#1 REITO BRAVELY vs Koichiro Seki [63kg - RIZIN Kickboxing rules]

REITO BRAVELY (62.40kg)

“This is the first fight of the night so I will start this event with a big bang.”

Koichiro Seki (62.85kg)

“My style is to go head to head with my opponents. I would want everybody to see me brawl from the first fight.”

#2 Shogo Kuriaki vs Kakeru [57.5kg - RIZIN Kickboxing rules]

Shogo Kuriaki (57.40kg)

“I have done what I need to do so all I have left to do is to go in there and entertain the fans and finish my opponent.”

Kakeru (57.05kg)

“I know RIZIN has more MMA fans, but I know I can show the appeal of just striking. I’m not too technical so I go in there to brawl, which guarantees exciting fights.”

#3 Motonobu Tezuka vs Mehman Mamedov [61kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Motonobu Tezuka (60.90kg)

“My RIZIN debut was horrible. And I have been training very hard to redeem myself so I’m very grateful for this opportunity.”

Mehman Mamedov (60.65kg)

“This is my RIZIN debut fight but I feel great and cannot wait to showcase my skills. I’ve come to RIZIN twice as a corner, but now it’s my time to fight on this stage.

#4 Yoshiki Nakahara vs Akira Haraguchi [66kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Yoshiki Nakahara (65.95kg)

“The theme for this fight is to finish my opponent and send a message to the Featherweight division.

Akira Haraguchi (65.20kg)

“My strong point is my wrestling. I plan to fully utilize that and have added some new weapons to my arsenal, which I won’t reveal yet.”

#5 Takahiro Ashida vs Hirotaka Nakada [66kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Takahiro Ashida (65.90kg)

“My opponent has a karate base but he’s more of a puncher. This will be a typical infighter vs out boxer and I will not let him touch me.”

Hirotaka Nakada (65.90kg)

“The only style I know is to press forward and brawl. I am here to brawl. I will be in his face and brawl. I will stuff his takedowns and brawl. I’ll have fun and the fans will have fun.

#6 Genji Umeno vs Trent Girdham [61kg - RIZIN Kickboxing rules with elbows]

Genji Umeno (61.00kg)

“My opponent has been fighting under many rules and I think that’s great but when it comes down to simple muay thai rules, he’s not that good.”

Trent Girdham (60.80kg)

“If he wants to show his elbows, that’s my punching distance so he’ll be walking into my punches. He would be better off fighting in a kicking distance.”

#7 Daichi Abe vs Hibiki Tamura [77kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Daichi Abe (76.90kg)

“Gomi has told me to do what I do best and not try to do what I can’t do. So I have no intention of fighting in his distance, his field. I will avoid all attempts and hit him with my strikes.”

Hibiki Tamura (76.50kg)

“I know this is going to be a tough fight, but I’ve had a long career and will utilize everything I have as a grand sum of my career. I have a solid plan and hopefully I can execute

#8 Shinji Sasaki vs Sho Patrick Usami [75kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Shinji Sasaki (74.75kg)

“I fought on RIZIN 1, which was 6 ½ years ago. I have fought many fights, suffered career ending injuries and had my ups and downs during this time but I’m finally back and I’m motivated.”

Sho Patrick Usami (74.85kg)

“I’ve been working hard on my ground with Strasser in Osaka, and I feel myself improving as a fighter.”

#9 Koji Takeda vs Zach Zane [71kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Koji Takeda (70.75kg)

“My opponent has a high finish rate and he has good ground skills. I’m pretty confident in my grappling skills but haven’t been able to show it. I think I can show it in this fight.”

Zach Zane (70.95kg)

“Martial Arts means everything to me. It has made me who I am today. I learned everything from martial arts and has made me a better human being. I will continue to walk this path until the day I die.”

#10 Yusuke Yachi vs Boido Allen [71kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Yusuke Yachi (70.95kg)

“I haven’t been able to see too many of my opponent’s fights, but that is good for me. I will go in and do what I want to do. I’m not going to worry about what he’s going to do. I’m going in there to enforce my will on him.”

Boyd Allen (70.80kg)

“My opponent hits hard and is a well rounded fighter. But I see my hand getting raised and becoming a threat to the Lightweight division.”

#11 Tsuyoshi Sudario vs Janos Csukas [120kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Tsuyoshi Sudario (118.85kg)

“I don’t think I’m worthy as a main event fighter, but the fact that I’m fighting in the co main event means that RIZIN sees something in me and I will show that.”

Janos Csukas (117.95kg)

“I have won all of my fights by ground and pound. This is my style and I plan to bring it to this fight.”

#12 Featherweight Title Match Juntaro Ushiku vs Kleber Koike [66kg - RIZIN MMA rules]
