Justin Scoggins replaces an injured Ulka Sasaki at RIZIN 15 + three new bout additions

In one of the most highly-anticipated bouts on the RIZIN 15 fight card, former UFC standout Ulka Sasaki was set to take on rising star Kai Asakura. Unfortunately, a visceral infection has caused Sasaki to pull out of the contest.

In his place steps another UFC veteran, flashy striker Justin “Tank” Scoggins. The news was confirmed on Wednesday morning.

Also added to the card was two pivotal women’s flyweight bouts, and the return of the heavy-hitting Swede; Karl Albrektsson.
