The next two events will see a pair of title fights as a preamble to the end-of-the-year GLORY x RISE Featherweight Grand Prix, set to take place on December 21.
Reigning RISE featherweight champion Keisuke Monguchi will make his second title defense against Haruto Yasumoto in the main event of RISE 182 on October 20. Monguchi will attempt to bounce back from a decision loss to K-1 champion Taito Gunji, which snapped a six-fight win streak. Similarly, Yasumoto is looking to rebound from a loss to Akif Guluzada in his second ONE Championship fight, which brought an end to his three-fight winning streak.
Riku Kazushima will attempt to make his maiden championship defense against the younger brother of Tenshin Nasukawa, Ryujin, in the main event of RISE 183 on November 23. Kazushima’s highest-profile bout since capturing the belt with a decision win against Tenshi Matsumoto, he’ll attempt to earn his fifth straight victory and build his name against a popular fighter. Nasukawa will enter the fight on the form of his life, with six triumphs to his name, most notably against Momu Tsukamoto and the aforementioned Tenshi Matsumoto.
Both events will be streamed live through Abema TV. For more information on tickets and full fight card, please visit the event pages.
