Rukiya Anpo vs. Ryan Garcia

Japan’s Rukiya Anpo is an experienced kickboxer who started in martial arts with Kyokushin Karate when he was just a child and would eventually earn national titles in the sport. As a professional kickboxer, Anpo would become a world champion in K-1 and was a fan favorite due to his impressive high kick knockouts.

Manny Pacquiao gets battered against Rukiya Anpo - Super Rizin 3 Highlights

Earlier this year, Rukiya Anpo had an exhibition boxing match against the legendary Manny Pacquiao in RIZIN. The Japanese athlete had a size advantage and won the vast majority of this match but it was scored a draw as per the exhibition rules. On New Year’s Eve, the kickboxer will next face Ryan Garcia.

Ryan Garcia is unable to compete in official matches as he is suspended. This happened after he tested positive for a banned substance earlier this year, right before his fight against Devin Haney. That fight ended in controversy—Garcia initially won but later had the result overturned. Garcia is a controversial fighter known for spreading hate speech online. Prior to that, he was a promising young boxer with an 85% knockout win rate and a mean left hook.

“And today, we announced the main event card for RIZIN DECADE! A rematch for the belt between champion Chihiro Suzuki and the strongest challenger, Kleber Koike, has been confirmed! Will it be Chihiro or Kleber who will be able to ring in the new year with the belt? I’m looking forward to it.”

Ren Hiramoto Addresses Doping Allegations in RIZIN Press Conference

RIZIN MMA fighter Ren Hiramoto, of Japan, recently held a press conference to address doping allegations made against him. The controversy stems from claims by Yukinori Akazawa, a trainer who has suggested that Hiramoto used performance-enhancing drugs in his recent fight.

RIZIN’s Ren Hiramoto Breaks Silence

Hiramoto vehemently denies these allegations, stating he has never engaged in doping and asserting that any supplements received from Akazawa were never used. During the press conference, Ren Hiramoto explained that he had received a supplement from Akazawa, but chose not to use it after being advised by his agency about potential doping violations.

“I have not done anything related to doping, and there is absolutely no truth to the claim that I willingly asked to dope … I received supplements from Mr. Akazawa but did not use them. I trusted his advice but chose not to use the supplements after being advised by my agency.”

He mentioned that Akazawa’s advice and the supplement were not used, and the only injections he received were for a knee injury, which was confirmed not to be problematic for doping tests. Hiramoto expressed confusion over Akazawa’s actions and stated that he still does not understand the motivation behind the claims or why Akazawa acted as he did.

“I suffered serious injuries during training and received injections for my knee, which I was assured were not problematic for doping tests. “

Ren Hiramoto’s press conference was preemptive, aiming to address the situation before RIZIN released its official doping test results. The results are still pending, but Hiramoto emphasized his innocence and commitment to fair play. His legal team is prepared to take action if needed, depending on the outcomes of the tests and the continued spread of misinformation. RIZIN CEO Sakakibara has indicated that results from the drug tests conducted during Super RIZIN 3 will be released soon.

“I will wait for the results of RIZIN’s tests and will cooperate fully, including undergoing additional tests if necessary. I believe I am innocent and am confident the results will reflect that.”

Hideo Tokoro

The Japanese grappler Hideo Tokoro is famed for his incredibly exciting matches. Throughout his lengthy career, he has frequently been in all-time great fights. He is an aggressive grappler who will take the risk to try and earn a submission win. This often leads to wild scrambles and submission attempts. A style that is inspired by shoot wrestling.

Having made his professional debut in the year 2000, ‘Little Volk’ Tokoro has more than 70 MMA matches, half a dozen submission grappling matches, and even an exhibition boxing bout against the phenom Tenshin Nasukawa. In submission grappling he worked with Kazushi Sakuraba to face off against the legendary Wanderlei Silva.
