Zane Simon, Victor Rodriguez, & D.E.O. return to break down this week’s RIZIN card in Saitama, Japan. Including Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Hiromasa Ogikubo & Takanori Gomi vs. Melvin Guillard.

RIZIN returns with a card that’s… well it’s weird, not gonna lie. The good news is that Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Hiromasa Ogikubo is one of the best fights to be made out there. The bad news is that you might have said the same thing about Takanori Gomi vs. Melvin Guillard 10-12 years ago. Still throw some Rena Kubota, Jiri Prochazka, Rin Nakai, Diego Brandao, and Daron Cruickshank on there and things are guaranteed to get wild.
