RIZIN 12 next month will need a new headliner as one half of the night’s main event will no longer make it to Nagoya, Japan due to injury. Spoiler alert; it’s not Yusuke Yachi.
Heavy-handed Brazilian lightweight Bruno Carvalho was gearing up to make his promotional debut against Japanese standout Yusuke Yachi. Unfortunately, an injury has forced him out of the contest. Guilherme Cruz of MMAFighting was first to report the news.
With exactly one month remaining til show time, expect RIZIN Fighting Federation to find a suitable replacement for Yachi.
