Fight card

What to watch

RIZIN heads to Hiroshima for LANDMARK 15, and the bantamweight title is the centerpiece. Champion Danny Sabatello has built his reign on relentless top control and grinding pressure — the American Top Team product out-wrestled Naoki Inoue to win the belt on New Year's Eve 2025, then controlled Joji Goto over three rounds to defend it in April.

Across from him is one of Japan's most dangerous young grapplers. Jinnosuke Kashimura, just 24, made a statement at RIZIN 52 by submitting the durable veteran Hideo Tokoro inside a round, and arrives in Hiroshima unbeaten in his recent run. The stylistic question is sharp: can Sabatello impose his wrestling and keep the fight where he wants it, or will Kashimura turn a scramble into the kind of submission that has finished most of his wins? Whoever controls the grappling exchanges controls the belt.
