RIZIN 28 is the return to the Tokyo Dome for the great sport of MMA and Japan’s premier organization.
The centerpiece of the next two RIZIN events is undeniably the big 16-man bantamweight Grand Prix tournament. The action begins with four opening round bouts on this first June 13 card while things conclude on the 27th in Osaka at RIZIN 29. But first, there needs to be some rounding out for the big show in PRIDE’s old stomping grounds.
The promotion held a press conference for RIZIN 28 on Monday to announce some more fights along with some rule changes. Going forward, elbows will be allowed in all fights. Previously, fighters had the option of agreeing to fight with elbows if they each both saw fit.
