Finally, after weeks of solely the Tenshin vs. Mayweather bout being announced for RIZIN 14, the Japanese-based promotion has began announcing other fights for the should-be-stacked New Years Eve show.
In a fight between the two best atomweights in the world, young prospect Kanna Asakura will face former Invicta title-holder Ayaka Hamasaki. And in what will be the final fight of Kazuyuki Miyata’s storied career, he takes on young gun Erson Yamamoto.
RIZIN CEO, Nobuyuki Sakakibara, announced the bouts late Wednesday night.
