Rizin FF 2017 in Yokohoma: Sakura Preview and Predictions
“I want to bring world-class fighting back to Japan” Kyoji Horiguchi
That’s exactly what the top-five flyweight will be doing when he makes his much-anticipated debut at
Rizin 2017 in Yokohoma: Sakura on April 16.
The main event features Japanese MMA legend Tatsuya Kawajiri looking to defend his country’s honor against UFC veteran Anthony Birchak. Kawajiri makes his return to Rizin after a disappointing debut against highly skilled grappler Kron Gracie on last year’s New Year’s Eve event. Birchak is out to prove the UFC brass wrong the company cut him following a victory over Dileno Lopes at UFC Fight Night 90.

It’s that time again. Every summer, the combat sports world turns its attention to the sweltering Nevada desert for International Fight Week. And this year, the action inside the cage is likely to rival the July heat.
Unfortunately, UFC 189 is longer at a steady boil after featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo was forced out the main event due to a broken rib. However, the promotion salvaged the card by inserting two-time title challenger Chad Mendes against rising star Conor McGregor. The pair will clash for an interim belt in the headlining affair.
The co-main event also features UFC gold on the line as welterweight champion Robbie Lawler rematches Canadian Rory MacDonald. Lawler captured the belt last fall with a decision win over Johny Hendricks, while MacDonald has won three straight since falling to Lawler in late 2013.

Redemption for bantamweight standout, Kyoji ‘The Typhoon’ Horiguchi. Returning from a debilitating knee injury which forced him to vacant his Bellator MMA bantamweight crown, the 30-year-old headlined RIZIN FF 26 this morning in Saitama, Japan stopping two-time foe, Kai Asakura to reclaim the promotion’s world championship.
Unbeaten in his next thirteen outings since dropping a buzzer-beating armbar loss to ONE Championship tournament victor, Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson, Horiguchi battled with the above mentioned, Asakura in a non-title matchup, dropping a stunning first-round knockout defeat.
Sixteen months later, Horiguchi returned to action against two-time foe, Asakura, and after expertly finding his mark with calf kicks over and over again in the opening exchanges, Horiguchi countered a jumping knee from his compatriot to stun and subsequently drop him with a barrage before continued ground-and-pound strikes before the three-minute mark ended
