Rizin Adds 4 Fights to Dec. 31 Rizin 26 Card, Places Both Asakura Brothers on Event

Rizin Fighting Federation is jamming its final event of the year full of MMA fights.

Per a press release on Thursday, four new bouts including three under MMA rules and one in kickboxing have been added to Rizin 26. The year-end card will be held in the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, with a limited number of fans allowed in the building. Unlike past years, there will only be a single card for New Year’s Eve, and 12 bouts are currently slated for the card. The event will be buoyed by a bantamweight title fight between Kai Asakura and Kyoji Horiguchi.
