RIZIN 18
2019
If you're a fight fan, RIZIN 18 is a must-watch for the Horiguchi vs. Asakura main event alone—this is elite-level MMA action from Japan's premier promotion. But if combat sports aren't your thing, skip it; this isn't a crossover experience.
Plot
RIZIN 18 live from the Dolphins Arena in Nagoya, Japan. In the evening’s main event, former UFC title challenger and current Rizin and Bellator champion Kyoji Horiguchi takes on rising star Kai Asakura. The co-main event pits the promotion’s women’s super atomweight titleholder Ayaka Hamasaki against Thailand’s Suwanan Boonsorn in a non-title affair.
