At today’s press conference, RIZIN CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara announced that Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu team member Kleber Koike Erbst will face Ulka Sasaki in the main event of Trigger 2.
Erbst is riding a four-fight winning streak started after the loss to Mateusz Gamrot at KSW 46 back in 2018. Three of these wins took place inside the RIZIN ring including a victory over Mikuru Asakura in a bout that was considered by fans as a featherweight title eliminator after going 5-1 with KSW prior to that.
