Rizin Trigger 3rd Weigh-in Results: All Fighters Make Weight
Rizin Fighting Federation's third cagefighting event is set, as all 14 mixed martial artists made weight for Rizin Trigger 3rd.
The main event will see a lightweight contest between Luiz Gustavo Felix dos Santos and Yusuke Yachi. The 10-2 Brazilian is looking to rebound after a disappointing TKO loss to Patricky Freire, and is 2-2 inside the Japanese promotion. Meanwhile, Yachi (23-12) most recently lost to Roberto de Souza via triangle armbar, but the Japanese veteran had put together back-to-back wins prior to the setback. Both fighters came in under the 71-kilogram limit.
The previously booked match between "Kintaro" Yuto Hokamura and Kazuma Kuramoto was canceled before the weigh-ins. Hokamura fell ill, and "was in a state where he could not move his body tightly," according to the organizer through a translation by Google.
The event will stream live on Rizin's website on Saturday, April 16, starting at 1 a.m. ET/10 p.m. PT. Live English commentary is available and it can be bundled with Rizin 35.
