Rizin is back already with Rizin Landmark 6 in Nagoya later tonight. Hopefully, you saved some caffeine from last week's show! Even though this is a much less star-studded card than Rizin 44, this show will have 15 fights. The presumed main event of Shinobu Ota vs. Naoki Inoue would've been a fight to look forward but with that fight changed, we can give some focus on the below-the-line fights. Here are five fights from Rizin Landmark 6 fight fans should look forward to!
Badr Hari is set to make his GLORY return next month at GLORY 89. After an unprecedented turn of events which saw Hari withdraw from his main event clash against James McSweeney at GLORY 88 minutes before the bout was set to begin, GLORY have announced that the Moroccan kickboxing legend will be making his return to the ring against Uku Jurjendal at next month’s show in Bulgaria.

Rizin did not disappoint when it came to star power for Rizin Landmark 5. They booked some of their most popular fighters for their second show of the year.
