All you rockin' RIZIN rebels of the ring mark your calendars because Landmark 9 is gearing up to set the sonic stage afire at World Memorial Hall in Kobe on March 23rd.
This card is much stronger and deeper than your normal Landmark offering and we've got an electric clash between two lightweight titans: Roberto "Satoshi" De Souza and Keita "K-Taro" Nakamura! De Souza is looking to reclaim his mojo after a tough loss to Patricio Pitbull, while Nakamura aims to make a statement with a victory over the Brazilian.
But that's not all: we've got UFC veteran Naoki Inoue squaring off against ONE alumni Shaoko Sato in a bantamweight scrap that's sure to keep you guessing.
Plus, get ready for the return of the one and only Rena Kubota as she takes on the formidable Sim Yu-Ri. After a year hiatus, Kubota is back and ready to reclaim her spot at the top of the women's division with a vengeance.
Another epic scrap pits Koji Takeda against Kyohei Hagiwara, and there are many more. With 15 bouts on the card, including four explosive kickboxing matchups, there's no shortage of action to go around.
So grab your onigiri, crank up the Peelander-Z, and get ready to witness RIZIN Landmark 9 - whether you're a die-hard JMMA fanatic or just looking for a night of excitement and entertainment, this is one you won't want to miss.
It seems like the event will be available to stream on the newly released RIZIN.TV. Here’s hoping there are no technical snags. It appears the event will NOT be available live for international audiences, but only after the fact. A shame for such a nice card.
Let's spread peace, positivity, and inspiration as we embark on this epic journey together! 🤘🌟
