Tenshin Nasukawa returned to action at RIZIN 16 that saw him score a nasty finish.

This RIZIN Fighting Federation event took place in Kobe, Japan, on Sunday, June 2nd. In the main event, Nasukawa scored a TKO in the second round over Martin Blanco to claim the ISKA featherweight title.

The kickboxing phenom had been booked for a title fight against ISKA featherweight champion Ahmed Ferradji. However, a few weeks ago, the promotion announced that Ferradji had withdrawn from the bout. The ISKA decided to strip him of the title due to Ferradji pulling out “without a valid reason.”

Prior to this fight, he took on Fritz Biagtan in a kickboxing bout at RIZIN 15 on April 21 at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. Nasukawa won the fight by third-round TKO in the co-main event.

The young Japanese sensation recently shared the boxing ring with one of the greatest boxers of all-time in Floyd Mayweather. He lost by first-round TKO in December but rebounded with a spectacular knockout win in his return to kickboxing in March.

The finish of the fight took place in the second round where Tenshin had picked things up significantly. He landed a thunderous body kick that would drop Blanco. A knee to the body would finish it and mark the latest victory for Tenshin.
