Rizin Fighting Federation will end 2021 with one final mixed
martial arts event.
The Rizin
33 card is now official after the weigh-ins and will feature 13
MMA bouts. Topping the card is a lightweight championship bout
between champion Roberto de Souza and Yusuke Yachi and the
yet-to-be-determined bantamweight grand prix finals. Also on the
card is a striking contest between kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa and
Japanese MMA legend Takanori Gomi.
De Souza (12-1) won the inaugural Rizin lightweight championship
earlier this year by submitting Tofiq Musayev with a triangle choke
in just 72 seconds. This will be the Brazilian’s first title
defense. Meanwhile, Yachi (23-11) is on a two-fight winning streak
after taking decisions over Koji Takeda and Yuki Kawana. Both
fighters had no trouble making weight.
The Rizin bantamweight grand prix semi-finals will see former
bantamweight champ Kai Asakura face off against Kenta Takizawa and
Hiromasa Ougikubo go up against Naoki Inoue. The winners will face
off later in the night with Yuki Motoya vs. Yuto Hokamura serving
as a reserve bout should an injury occur.
Rizin 33 will stream on LiveNow for $24.99 at 11:30 p.m. ET/8:30
p.m. PT on Thursday.
