Rizin 45 Results: Horiguchi vs Shinryu Main Events

Unfortunately, some complications happened with the co-main event. Rizin bantamweight champion Juan Archuleta missed weight in his title defense against Kai Asakura. As a result, Archuleta was stripped of the belt. If he wins, the fight will be deemed a no-contest. Only Asakura is eligible to win.

What is without question the people’s main event will see former K-1 kickboxer Ren Hiramoto take on former Rise kickboxer Ya-Man in an MMA match. Both guys have been talking trash before the fight so it should be an exciting clash.
