Preview – RIZIN FF 11: Horiguchi rematches Ogikubo, Gomi takes on Guillard
RIZIN is back this weekend, with plenty of familiar faces and some interesting matchmaking for a somewhat low-key card. This isn’t a major “Fight Festival“ type of card, but has some very good talent on it, and it’s very much worth your time. Kanna Asakura (12-2) will take on one…
