Last weekend RIZIN hosted their first shows of this strange and terrible COVID-era we find ourselves in. The Japanese promotions first offerings since going on hiatus were RIZIN FF 22 and RIZIN FF 23, which were held on back-to-back nights at the Pia Arena in Yokohama.
Neither card disappointed. Both were filled with action fights and jaw-dropping finishes (only one fight went the distance). If you missed any of the action, don’t worry. RIZIN has decided to put all of the fights up on YouTube so you can watch them for free.
