V Tokyju je v soboto potekal RIZIN 42 turnir, kjer smo lahko spremljali 13 borb; do tega sta 2 potekali po kick-boxing pravilih, ostale pa po pravilih proste borbe. V zadnjih dveh obračunih večera sta zmagala domačin Kai Asakura (20-4) in ameriški veteran Juan Archuleta (28-4), ter se bosta sedaj julija na turnirju RIZIN 44 udarila za izpraznjen bantam naslov. Spomnimo, prejšnji prvak Kyoji Horiguchi (31-5) se je preselil v mušjo kategorijo in bantamski naslov prepustil novim izzivalcem.
Rezultati:
Kai Asakura – Yuki Motoya: KO — R3, 2:25
A big knee to the body gets Kai Asakura the finish, and he will meet Juan Archuleta for the vacant Bantamweight title!
