The stage is set for
Rizin Fighting Federation’s traditional year-end
extravaganza.
All three title fights are official for
Rizin 49 “Decade” following weigh-ins on Monday. The card is
headlined by a featherweight championship tilt between Chihiro
Suzuki and Kleber
Koike Erbst. Both Suzuki and Erbst tipped the scales at 145.5
pounds.
Rizin 49 takes place on Dec. 31 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama,
Japan, and features three championship fights at the top of the
card. In addition to Suzuki vs. Erbst, Kyoji
Horiguchi (125.5) will face Nkazimulo
