#9 Juntaro Ushiku vs Mikuru Asakura [66kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Juntaro Ushiku(65.80kg)

“I know that many people see me as the underdog, but I don’t care. I’ve done everything I could to be here in my best condition and I think hard work will pay off.”

Mikuru Asakura (65.85kg)

“I have everything a man would want. Money and fame. I don’t have to fight but I do because I’m hooked on this feeling.” “My focus is on fighting Kleber again. I’m not looking at anybody else but him.”

#8 Yutaka Saito vs Ren Hiramoto [66kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Yutaka Saito (65.85kg)

“Hiramoto is a dangerous opponent, as much as I want to end this fight as soon as possible, I'm not going to take risks and will respect every weapon he has.” “I want to avoid receiving damage as much as possible, but utilizing all 15 minutes is something important. We’ll see where the fight will take me.”

Ren Hiramoto (65.75kg)

“I have reached the point where I am a GOD. I’ve always thought I was a genius but I was wrong. Nobody can stop me now.” “I don’t care about Asakura. I’d be super happy if he loses tonight.”

#7 Kazuma Kuramoto vs Shinobu Ota [61kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Kazuma Kuramoto (60.80kg)

“My opponent is early in his career in MMA, and is still green. I am a well rounded MMA fighter.” “I am better at everything.”

Shinobu Ota (60.90kg)

“My opponent seems to have been visiting the US as a tourist (at Cejudo’s gym) while I have been working hard in Japan. The results will show who’s more committed to the sport.”

#6 Koji Takeda vs Luis Gustavo [71kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Koji Takeda (70.85kg)

“After the fight on NYE, I focused on all the pieces together to make my style more complete” “My opponent is a vicious striker and it’s probably impossible not to get hit but I will bite down and put on a gritty performance.”

Luiz Gustavo (71.00kg)

“Takeda is a popular fighter so I’ve always wanted to fight him. He’s 1 dimensional and has no threatening weapons that can finish me” “I’m scared that I will injure my fist by punching his big head. Maybe I’ll just knee him in the mouth.”

#5 Kanna Asakura vs Mei Yamaguchi [49kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Kanna Asakura (48.80kg)

“With my striking getting better, it has helped me with setting up my takedowns significantly.” “I think mental strength and confidence is the most important ability to have in our sport. I’ve lost both of them in my last fight but I have worked my way back up.”

V.V Mei (48.80kg)

“It’s not easy to keep fighting at 40, but it makes for a good story and I hope I can inspire people my age, to keep pushing and challenging.”

#4 RENA vs Claire Lopez [49kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

RENA (50.90kg)

“The situation surrounding me for this fight is quite unique. I’m coming off of an injury, it’s going to be my 2nd time fighting in the cage. There are concerns, but I’m more excited than anything.”

Claire Lopez (50.75kg)

“I’m very excited to be here in Japan. I’ve heard nothing but great things and I’m looking forward to the overall experience.” “My opponent is a good striker and is well rounded. I am a very aggressive fighter so I know this will be an exciting fight.”

#3 Tsuyoshi Sudario vs Roque Martinez [120kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Tsuyoshi Sudario (117.20kg)

“I’m in much better shape than I was for NYE. The difference is night and day.” “I’m grateful to be given such an opportunity after my loss. Roque is a former UFC fighter and I’ve got nothing to gain from this fight.”

Roque Martinez (115.20kg)

“Words cannot describe how I feel being back here in RIZIN. The rules are great and I plan to unleash violence.” “My opponent is good considering his short career, but I think it’s too early to be facing somebody like me. I am a good benchmark to evaluate where his skills are at right now, but unfortunately he’s not going to win this fight.”

#2 Masanori Kanehara vs Sora Yamamoto [66kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Masanori Kanehara (65.85kg)

“I know he’s an unorthodox grappler who likes to scramble, but I train with Tokoro every day, and I’m used to that stuff. Anything Yamamoto has to offer, I’ve probably seen it.”

Sora Yamamoto (65.75kg)

“I often get on my back because I’m confident in my abilities. I think I can submit everybody in the division besides Kleber.” “I think the younger generation has too much respect for the veterans. We need to step up and show them that it’s our time now.”

#1 Tatsuya “Yanbo” Saika vs Ali Abdulkhalikov [71kg - RIZIN MMA rules]

Tatsuya “Yanbo” Saika (70.80kg)

“I'm so scared of fighting him. He's such a great fighter. I couldn't sleep after I got the offer, but when the fight begins, I will flip the switch on and go in there for the knockout”

Ali Abdulkhalikov (70.90kg)

“I am grateful to be given the opportunity to come back to RIZIN. I was not satisfied with my last performance here in Japan. My goal for this fight is to show my true skills and techniques to the Japanese fans.”
