The summer edition of RIZIN Fighting Federation - RIZIN.11 on July 29, 2018, is now available for pre-orders on the FITE network.
FITE will carry the international digital distribution of RIZIN.11 across the FITE.TV website, mobile apps, ROKU, Android TV and Apple TV boxes. Viewers outside Japan will be able to watch it live for a $19.99 pay-per-view price.
RIZIN.11 live digital broadcast will take place Saturday night (7/29-7/30) at 1:30 am EST / 10:30pm PST live from Saitama Sumer Arena, Saitama City, Japan. As usual, replays of up to 90 days are included in the order.
The fights announced to date shape out a yet another loaded RIZIN card.
Japanese phenom Kyoji Horiguchi (24-2) will take on fellow countryman Hiromasa Ogikubo (17-3-2) in a RIZIN MMA rules fight contested for 60 kg.
Coming fresh off of an 8-second win over UFC vet Ian McCall in RIZIN.10, Horiguchi makes a quick return ahead of his highly-touted kickboxing debut in September this year. Both flyweights come off of an impressive win streak to meet again after their first match back in 2013 when Ogikubo lost by submission in Round 2.
Japanese MMA legend Takanori Gomi (35-15) will face off against one of the most decorated kickboxing fighters, K-1 and Shootboxing champion Andy Souwer (2/3 MMA)
Andy Souwer transitioned to MMA in 2015 and is looking to the opportunity to bounce his record back after 3 losses under the RIZIN banner. The match is set at 73kg and is expected to be fireworks since both fighters are highly motivated to re-assert themselves, despite the difference in record history.
Slated for RIZIN.11 is also the rematch between Kanna Asakura (12-2) and Rena (6-1).
Kanna Asakura was the only to defeat Rena for the atomweight champion and was asked for an immediate rematch after she delivered a grappling spectacular over Melissa Karagianis at RIZIN.10, which she accepted.
