See what happened on the scales for NYE’s big MMA crossover event.
The last MMA show of the year goes live from Japan tomorrow, with a special crossover event pitting stars of Bellator against their RIZIN counterparts. The event includes a lot of very cool match-ups, including AJ McKee vs. Roberto Satoshi and Patricio Pitbull vs. Kleber Koike.
The event is happening live on FITE.TV for folks outside the US at 6:30 a.m ET. For those in the US, the event will be presented via tape delay on Showtime at 8 p.m. ET.
The event is preceded by RIZIN 40, which has a number of notable match-ups including John Dodson vs. Hideo Tokoro anf Yuki Motoya vs. Rogério Bontorin.
