Rizin Landmark 9 Weigh-in Results: 1 Fight Canceled, Another in Jeopardy



The
Rizin Fighting Federation
returns with its Landmark
9
card, although it looks different than originally planned.
Two fighters missed weight for the card, which is headlined by
Roberto
Satoshi de Souza
vs. Keita
Nakamura
. This caused one of the fights to be canceled and the
other in potential jeopardy.

First, Arman
Ashimov
came in 5.2 pounds over the flyweight limit. The fight
against Yusaku
Nakamura
will only proceed if Ashimov’s weight is below 134.4
pounds on the day of the event. If it does go forward, only
Nakamura will be eligible to win with an Ashimov victory or draw
resulting in a no contest. Ashimov will also be penalized with
point deductions prior to the fight and have his purse reduced.

Additionally, the welterweight fight between Igor Tanabe
and Kiichi
Kunimoto
has been canceled. This is due to Tanabe missing
weight by 7.1 pounds. Discussions were conducted to keep it on but
ultimately, the decision was made to scratch the fight.

Rizin Landmark 9 will stream on the promotion’s website.
