All 38 contracted fighters made weight, setting the stage for possibly the best event of 2023. Embodying the spirit of THE MATCH, RISE continues to co-promote, this time with GLORY, Petchyindee and K-1 to end the year with a bang.
Headlining the RISE WORLD SERIES 2023 Final Round will be the 54 KG Tournament final between Kumandoi against Toki Tamaru. Both shattered expectations beating tournament-favorites Shiro and Kazuki Osaki, and now will look to deliver the most anticipated Thailand vs. Japan match-up of the year.
Australian Nak Muay Chadd Collins looks to solve the unsolvable puzzle that is GLORY & RISE champion Petchpanomrung in the co-main event. Collins has looked unstoppable in his rise up the ranks, and could pose serious problems for the Thai veteran.
RISE champions Kazuki Osaki and Shiro will take no easy fight after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the tournament, but instead face some of Thailand's best.
Several other RISE vs. GLORY match-ups featuring Taiju Shiratori, Abraham Vidales, Kento Haraguchi, and Kaito will round out the card.
Elsewhere on the card, Krush champion Koji Ikeda takes on Musashi Matsushita.
The event will stream live on ABEMA in Japan at 12:30 PM JST. The stream won't be region-blocked and can be watched globally for free. Tickets are available at eplus.jp.
