RIZIN 15 is in the books, and following today’s event, Jiri Prochazka is the Japanese promotion’s light-heavyweight champ.
Prochazka took on “King Mo” Lawal for the inaugural belt, and as you can by watching the clip below, he finished the decorated wrestler in round three. The two battled back in 2015, but in that contest, Lawal scored a first round KO.
RIZIN 15 also featured Kyoji Horiguchi in action, but his bantamweight title wasn’t on the line. Horiguchi took on Ben Nguyen in a 132 pound, catch-weight scrap, and quickly ended the latter’s night in round one.
The event also saw galaxy class kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa throw down, and he scored a third round stoppage win over Fritz Biagtan.
