Eight-time Rizin Fighting Federation veteran Daron Cruickshank will square off against Tofiq Musayev at the promotion’s upcoming card in Kobe, Japan, on June 2.
The Japanese organization on Monday revealed the finalized card for Rizin 16. Three additional MMA contests were confirmed: Thanongsaklek Chuwattana vs. Yusaku Nakaura; Mamoru Uoi vs. Kana Hyatt and Takaki Soya vs. Namiki Kawahara. Two kickboxing matchups were also announced, as YUYA will take on Yuki Tanaka, while Seiki Ueyama will lock horns with KENGO.
Cruickshank had a three-fight winning streak snapped in his most recent outing at Rizin 14, where he suffered a first-round submission defeat at the hands of Damien Brown.
