For the first time since the summer of 2021 & in front of what will be a packed house of right around 50,000 people, the RIZIN Fighting Federation — Japan’s premier combat sports promotion — will take its talents & action to the World Famous Tokyo Dome on May 4th for a night of Superior Ruleset Action known as “RIZIN: Otoko Matsuri!”

In this preview podcast, our “Chillmeister” J. Christian Gary & known Superior Ruleset Fan JayWolf talk about how the 19 fights that will shake the dome with force, the start of the Heavyweight Grand Prix, the showcase fights in the Flyweight & Featherweight Divisions (including the highly anticipated Co-Main Event between Mikuru Asakura & Chihiro Suzuki and the Main Event Title Fight between Kleber Koike Erbst & Razhabali Shaydullaev) and tons more!
