Days away from Rizin 17 in Tokyo, the promotion is already stacking up its following card on Aug. 18 with the announcement of four match-ups for Rizin 18 in Nagoya, Japan.
Two and a half months after defending her Rizin belt against Invicta FC champion Jihn Yu, Rizin super atomweight queen Ayaka Hamasaki (18-2) is set to take on Suwanan Boonsorn (5-1) in a non-title bout.
Jarred Brooks (14-2), who was let go by the UFC after a split decision win over Roberto Sanchez as a bantamweight last September, makes his Rizin debut against DEEP strawweight titleholder Haruo Ochi (19-7-2) in a 117-pound contest.
