In their first clash, Kleber forced Suzuki to tap, but due to a weight miss, the fight was ruled a no contest. Since then, Suzuki has risen to become a dominant champion, securing KO victories over Pitbull, Karamov, and Kanehara. Meanwhile, Kleber earned his shot at redemption by submitting former champions Saito and Archuleta. This rematch brings into question how both fighters have grown and evolved over the past year and a half. Suzuki is determined not to let the fight play out the same way, while Kleber must figure out how to approach this improved version of the champion and impose his own game. The key to this fight is whether it goes to the ground. Kleber’s challenge lies in finding a way to bring the fight to his world, while Suzuki’s focus will be on keeping it standing. Both fighters’ strategies and execution will clash, and the balance could shift at any moment. Will it end the same way as their first encounter, or will a new story unfold?

New Year’s Eve ⚡️ #RIZIN_DECADE Get the most out of the event with the #RIZINCharlieGuide 📝 👑 Lightweight Title Match Roberto Satoshi Souza 🇧🇷 / @robertosatoshi ---🆚--- Vugar Karamov 🇦🇿 / @vugar_karamov The RIZIN Lightweight Title is on the line as Satoshi defends his belt in his third fight of the year against former featherweight champion and physically imposing Vugar Karamov. This year, Satoshi’s total ring time across two fights is a mere 2 minutes and 4 seconds, while Karamov’s lone fight lasted just 28 seconds. It’s intriguing to see how much fight time these two will put in for this end-of-year showdown. Satoshi, known worldwide as a BJJ specialist who has seamlessly adapted his grappling to MMA, hasn’t needed to showcase his ground game this year, instead finishing both fights with lightning-fast knockouts. Karamov, renowned for his physical strength and ground control, also secured a quick finish with strikes in his comeback fight. The key to this fight lies in the clash of technique versus power on the ground. However, the striking exchanges leading up to the ground battle will be just as critical. If one fighter dominates in the stand-up, their opponent may have no choice but to force a ground exchange. With both fighters accustomed to ending fights in their first exchanges, the opening moments of this bout will be fascinating. Will Satoshi secure his fourth successful title defense, setting a RIZIN record, or will Karamov rise from adversity to become the second-ever two-division champion in RIZIN history?

Eighteen-year-old Sanou Yokouchi brings experience from Shooto’s Tokai region and the DEEP Future King Tournament. So far, he’s dominated his opponents with outstanding grappling. Sixteen-year-old Kenshin Saito, on the other hand, comes from a Kyokushin karate background and has transitioned to MMA.

Saito, with his karate base, will look to keep the fight at range and land strikes from distance. The question is how Yokouchi will navigate Saito’s stance to close the gap. Another highlight will be whether Yokouchi can control Saito on the ground or if Saito can use his scrambling ability to escape and counter.

Representing the RIZIN flyweight division, young grappler Makoto Shinryu faces BRAVE CF’s challenger, former bantamweight champion Jose Torres. As global attention turns toward the flyweight division, Torres steps onto the New Year’s Eve stage to bring fresh momentum to RIZIN's flyweight class. Torres' strengths lie in his relentless pressure and an ultra-aggressive style that blends striking and wrestling. He deals significant damage in the stand-up and dominates with wrestling and ground-and-pound. Torres' style overlaps with Shinryu's, making it intriguing to see who will take the initiative in ground exchanges. Both fighters employ a scrambling style, constantly moving, which is expected to lead to an exhausting battle of attrition. The fighter who makes the tougher choices will likely find success. In the stand-up, Torres will charge forward aggressively. How Shinryu handles this approach—whether he times his takedowns or creates a different dynamic—will be key. The battle for dominance in close exchanges on the feet will be one of the highlights. Can Shinryu prove the strength of Japanese flyweights to the world against a new foreign adversary, or will another formidable international fighter break into the division? This is a must-watch showdown.

This matchup between two fighters who recently transitioned to MMA offers an extraordinary spectacle on the New Year’s Eve stage. Takakenshin secured his first MMA victory in March this year, showcasing his immense potential and growth in his foundational skills. Meanwhile, King Edokpolo is an athletic fighter who utilizes his natural physical gifts. Standing at 204 cm, the tallest competitor in RIZIN history, his strikes pack extraordinary power, further amplified by his innate athleticism, making him a rising monster despite his limited combat sports experience. Takakenshin has demonstrated his talent since his MMA debut, dazzling with his elegant footwork and sharp boxing technique, but has faced challenges with stamina and energy management. The keys to victory in this bout will be the jab and stamina. Both fighters possess knockout power, but the one who can break down their opponent with precise and controlled striking will gain the upper hand. Additionally, sustaining their movement and avoiding fatigue will significantly increase their chances of victory. While the explosive power of the heavyweight division adds excitement, the rapid energy drain raises concerns about endurance in a prolonged fight. Paying attention to their power and stamina management may reveal pivotal shifts in momentum during this clash.

New Year’s Eve ⚡️ #RIZIN_DECADE Get the most out of the event with the #RIZINCharlieGuide 📝 👑 Bantamweight Title Eliminator Yuki Motoya 🇯🇵 @yuki_motoya ----🆚---- Kyoma Akimoto 🇯🇵 @Kyoma_mma This fight to determine the next RIZIN bantamweight title challenger pits Yuki Motoya, a veteran who has been competing since RIZIN’s inaugural event 10 years ago, against Kyoma Akimoto, who was just a second-grader at the time. Alongside the competitive intrigue, this matchup is a clash of generations and a story of human drama. Motoya, in his 15th year as a professional fighter, continues to evolve as an all-rounder. Akimoto, now in his 3rd year as a professional, is an undefeated all-rounder with a record of 7 wins. Since moving his base to American Top Team, Motoya has enhanced his adaptability and fight IQ, enabling him to adopt more strategic approaches. Meanwhile, Akimoto, with a solid grappling base, has distinguished himself with striking that combines speed and precision, building a seven-fight winning streak to put himself within striking distance of the RIZIN bantamweight title. The key to this fight lies in the striking exchanges. How will the veteran Motoya prepare for and handle Akimoto’s long reach, speed, and accuracy? Motoya will look to leverage his experience and well-rounded skill set to neutralize the momentum of the younger fighter. On the other hand, Akimoto will aim to maintain his momentum and secure the fastest path to the RIZIN belt.

The two fighters, with a combined 18 wins, boast an incredible average finish rate of 96%. Both are proven finishers, making this an all-action fight where a KO seems inevitable. Both fighters are punchers with well-established destructive power. The key to this fight lies in positioning. Karshyga controls distance with sharp, fast straight punches, while YA-MAN thrives in close quarters, throwing hooks from unexpected angles in chaotic exchanges. Both are at their most dangerous when their opponent is trapped against the ropes, meaning positioning and movement will be crucial in this battle.

Will a tackle (takedown attempt) be necessary in a fight to decide RIZIN’s No. 1 featherweight striker? Does the fighter who resorts to a takedown lose the psychological edge?

New Year’s Eve ⚡️ #RIZIN_DECADE Your guide to enjoying the event: #RIZINCharlieGuide 📝 Yusuke Yachi / @usk_yachi ——🆚—— Taisei Sakuraba / @taisei3939 A RIZIN lightweight clash where the seasoned Yachi, with 41 professional fights under his belt, faces Sakuraba, who is making his professional debut—a matchup that embodies the essence of RIZIN. Yachi has evolved from a striker into an all-rounder with strong grappling skills, while Sakuraba is an unusual fighter, highly regarded for his grappling but largely untested in other areas. In MMA, Yachi clearly has more weapons at his disposal, giving him the option to avoid fighting where his opponent is strongest. The key to this matchup will be how well Sakuraba can create opportunities to leverage his strengths. As of now, Sakuraba’s known weapon is his grappling, which includes a diverse skill set. However, in striking exchanges, Yachi’s experience gives him a clear advantage, so Sakuraba must avoid stand-up exchanges and force the fight into grappling situations. Yachi, on the other hand, will aim to avoid grappling exchanges and dominate in other areas of the fight. Fans might get to see the striker version of Yachi return, while Sakuraba will need to find a way to impose his grappling against an opponent determined to avoid it. If Sakuraba fails to bring the fight to the ground, he will be in serious trouble. This bout will also be a test of how the next generation of Sakuraba’s legendary lineage blossoms. 📡𝐁𝐔𝐘 𝐍𝐎𝐖⬇️ 🔗 https://t.co/E0T0982F43 📅 (Evening of 12/30 in North America) ー 12/31 Globally 🕘 Event starts: ー🇺🇸 8pm PT / 11pm PM ET ー🇧🇷 1am BRT ー🇿🇦 6am SAST ー🇰🇿 9am UTC+5 ー🇰🇬 10am UTC+6 🏟 Saitama Super Arena 🎟 Tickets on sale now: https://t.co/TdLUDJWbRE

Seika Izawa, the reigning and undisputed champion of the division, faces a new challenger from Argentina, Lucia Abdegalim. Lucia is a striker with a background in taekwondo, known for her high output and aggressive style. This grappler-versus-striker matchup will heavily depend on Lucia’s ability to address the common challenge for kickboxers: preventing the fight from going to the ground. The trajectory of the fight could shift significantly based on how well she can handle this aspect. As the champion’s striking skills continue to improve, Izawa is expected to focus on utilizing her strikes to set up takedowns against the debuting striker.

New Year’s Eve⚡️ #RIZIN_DECADE Your guide to enjoying the event: #RIZINCharlieGuide 📝 Koji Takeda 🆚 Suguru Nii A RIZIN featherweight showdown. Takeda, who has faced numerous top foreign fighters, now takes on his former colleague and senior, Nii. This clash between a former DEEP champion and a former King of Pancrase will be a battle of pride for both fighters. The key points to watch are how Takeda incorporates the experience and adaptability he gained from fighting foreign opponents into his style, and how Nii sets up his signature moves, in which he has absolute confidence. Both fighters are grappling-oriented all-rounders, but their approaches differ: Takeda prefers a dominating grappling style, while Nii opts for a focused, pinpoint approach. Nii, armed with techniques like the arm lock and scissor choke, will aim to apply his finishing moves against the physically strong Takeda. Takeda, who has only lost once to a Japanese opponent, seeks to secure a win here to advocate for more matchups against international fighters.

Sudario, preparing for his 12th RIZIN fight, faces Kato, who returns to RIZIN after 8 years, having competed in Bellator and K-1. Kato, with a karate background, is a powerful striker with knockout potential. In previous bouts, Sudario has shown a tendency to fight his opponent’s strongest aspects, but despite the weight difference, Kato’s striking power is no joke. Kato’s striking technique and speed are undoubtedly superior, while Sudario’s power and physicality are overwhelming. Given these factors, each fighter’s strategy becomes clear. Kato will aim to keep the fight standing at all costs, while Sudario will look to land strikes and ultimately take the fight to the ground. If the fight goes to the ground, Sudario’s size advantage means Kato will need to be strategic. There’s also the question of how Sudario, with a weight advantage of over 15kg, will utilize RIZIN’s rules allowing the lighter fighter to choose whether to strike the head with their feet on the ground.

The veteran Kitakata, with 33 professional fights and a former Strawweight King of Pancrase, faces the up-and-coming Dagestani fighter Gadzhammatov, who has 4 professional bouts. This veteran vs. young gun matchup will see how Kitakata, making his RIZIN debut and facing a largely unknown opponent with limited information, adapts and approaches the fight. Gadzhammatov is an all-around fighter with a background in striking and military combat sports, bringing his sharp striking and submission skills into the RIZIN cage. It’s expected that Kitakata will gradually adjust his strategy during the fight. Gadzhammatov remains unbeaten in his career, finishing all of his wins, but finishing the experienced Kitakata will not be an easy task. The question is whether the all-around skills of the former sanda champion can withstand the seasoned veteran Kitakata, or if a new threat in the flyweight division will be unleashed in the RIZIN ring.

A flyweight showdown in RIZIN. The veteran Kitakata, with 33 professional fights and a former Strawweight King of Pancrase, faces the up-and-coming Dagestani fighter Gadzhammatov, who has 4 professional bouts.

This veteran vs. young gun matchup will see how Kitakata, making his RIZIN debut and facing a largely unknown opponent with limited information, adapts and approaches the fight.

Gadzhammatov is an all-around fighter with a background in striking and military combat sports, bringing his sharp striking and submission skills into the RIZIN cage. It’s expected that Kitakata will gradually adjust his strategy during the fight. Gadzhammatov remains unbeaten in his career, finishing all of his wins, but finishing the experienced Kitakata will not be an easy task.

The question is whether the all-around skills of the former sanda champion can withstand the seasoned veteran Kitakata, or if a new threat in the flyweight division will be unleashed in the RIZIN ring.

🔥#RIZIN_LANDMARK10 in NAGOYA🔥 #RIZINCharlieGuide 📝 💥RIZIN MMA Rules: 5 minutes x 3 rounds (57.0 kg) 💥 Yutaro Muramoto / @baaan_td —🆚— Tony Laramie / @tonylaramie 🆓 WATCH FOR FREE ON #RIZINTV! 📅 11/16 (Sat) 9:00pm CT 🔗 https://t.co/vkoMxM6WRq A flyweight clash in RIZIN. In his sixth RIZIN fight, speedster Muramoto will face Canada's rising star Laramie, who is making his debut. Muramoto is known for his exceptional ground game, quick striking, and strong scrambling ability, making him a well-rounded fighter with agile footwork. On the other hand, Laramie is a promising newcomer from Canada, currently on a seven-fight winning streak (five by KO). As a hard-hitter, he produces KOs with punches that are rare for lighter weight classes. He has overcome challenges alongside his former UFC fighter brother, and his dedication to MMA is impressive, demonstrating a strong commitment to the sport. His fight style, always aiming for the finish, resembles that of a bullfighter, while Muramoto will counter with matador-like footwork. The striking exchanges are sure to be thrilling, but the outcome may hinge on how well Laramie can defend against Muramoto's timely takedowns and grapple effectively. Depending on Laramie's skill, we might witness dynamic scrambles. In RIZIN's fastest division, both fighters can showcase their abilities in striking and grappling, both inside and outside the ring, making them a must-watch before the fight even begins.
