Former lightweight title challenger Yoshinori
\nHorie<\/a> earned an emphatic TKO victory in Saturday\u2019s Rizin
\nFighting Federation: Landmark Vol. 16<\/a> main event in Nagasaki,
\nJapan. Horie stopped Sho
\nPatrick Usami<\/a> with a nasty elbow and follow-up punches in the
\nsecond round of the headliner, which underwent a late change
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n

The bout between Horie (16-6, 7-3 Rizin) and Usami (9-6, 5-4 Rizin)
\nwas scheduled to be contested at lightweight, but Usami came in
\nheavy at weigh-ins and an agreement was reached to move the fight
\nweight up to 160 pounds. The arrangement allowed Usami to avoid
\npenalties such as point deductions or the standard no contest rule
\nfor weight misses, so the fight began on a level playing field.<\/p>\n

Horie stops Usami in Round 2 of the Rizin Landmark Vol. 16 main
\nevent<\/h2>\n

Horie\u2019s first two takedown attempts were stuffed, and he lunged at
\nUsami with an overhand right. Usami landed a lead left hook in
\nresponse and then pulled guard with a guillotine choke. Horie
\npushed Usami\u2019s head against the cage, alleviating some of the
\npressure on the choke. Once Horie had freed his neck, he punched
\nfrom Usami\u2019s half-guard and then hurt him with knees. Usami stopped
\nmoving entirely for a few seconds, but he sprang to his feet, and
\nthe round ended with him trapped in a guillotine.<\/p>\n

Usami was overly aggressive while rushing forward in the second
\nround, and Horie knocked him down with a counter right hook. Horie
\nspent the next three minutes working from his opponent\u2019s guard,
\nwhere he landed enough punches to avoid being stood up. When Horie
\nconnected with a sharp elbow to the bridge of Usami\u2019s nose, Usami
\nrolled over and covered up. Horie followed with a few more punches,
\nprompting the stoppage at the 3:37 mark of Round 2.<\/p>\n

Horie has won back-to-back fights this year since his unsuccessful
\nbid to become lightweight champion at Rizin 51. He previously
\ndefeated Patricky
\nFreire<\/a> at Landmark Vol. 13 in April, arguably the best victory
\nof Horie\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

After being outgrappled for nearly the entire first round, former
\nRizin title challenger Viktor
\nKolesnik<\/a> (28-6-1, 5-2 Rizin) rallied to earn a TKO victory over
\nKoyomi
\nMatsushima<\/a> (15-9, 0-2 Rizin) very early in the second round of
\nthe featherweight co-feature. Matsushima hopped on Kolesnik\u2019s back
\nand spent the first three minutes attacking his jaw with face
\ncranks. Kolesnik finally shook Matsushima off, and the Japanese
\nveteran attacked his leg with a heel hook attempt. Kolesnik\u2019s only
\nsuccess in the stanza came in the final 30 seconds, when he landed
\na combination that forced his opponent to backpedal. Everything
\nchanged in the second period when Matsushima shot for a takedown
\nand was hit with several elbows, including two that appeared to
\nstrike him in the back of the head. Matsushima froze on the ground
\nas Kolesnik continued to throw elbows, and the fight was stopped
\nwhen the Russian stood up and soccer-kicked him in the head.
\nMatsushima appeared upset that he had been struck in the back of
\nthe head, but Kolesnik was nevertheless declared the winner at the
\n20-second mark of Round 2.<\/p>\n

Featherweight prospect Hyuma Yasui<\/a>
\n(5-1, 2-1 Rizin) overcame fatigue and earned a dominant unanimous
\ndecision victory over Ryan Cafaro<\/a>
\n(15-7, 1 NC; 1-1 Rizin). Yasui used an early headlock throw to get
\nCafaro into the scarf-hold position, but the American quickly
\nscrambled to his feet. Yasui took him down again and chained
\ntogether submissions until he trapped Cafaro in an inverted
\ntriangle choke. Cafaro would not submit, and Yasui maintained back
\ncontrol for the rest of the round. He hurt Cafaro seconds into the
\nsecond frame with a right cross, and the American\u2019s attempts to
\ngrapple were unsuccessful. Yasui backed him up with more right
\nhands, but he seemed to fatigue as Cafaro landed combinations. A
\ntired Yasui scored another takedown and locked on a tight
\nrear-naked choke just before the bell. In the final stanza, Yasui
\nfought his way out of a guillotine and an anaconda choke before
\ntaking top position. He secured an arm-triangle choke that had
\nCafaro on the verge of tapping, then transitioned to a rear-naked
\nchoke but could not put him away. The American showed incredible
\nheart and determination by making it to the final bell, but all
\nthree judges scored the fight 30-27 for Yasui.<\/p>\n

The main card kicked off with another matchup in the women\u2019s super
\natomweight \u201cinvisible\u201d tournament, where fight finishes and
\naggression are favored most. Unfortunately, there was no finish and
\nvery little action in the fight between Keito Oyama<\/a>
\n(11-8, 4-2 Rizin) \u2014 better known as \u201cKate Lotus\u201d \u2014 and Noeru
\nNarita<\/a> (4-3, 2-2 Rizin). Oyama jabbed, while the 18-year-old
\n\u201cNoel\u201d used leg kicks to set up an overhand right. Oyama held
\nNarita against the cage for two minutes before the tepid first
\nround came to an end. The second stanza began with Oyama landing
\ntwo kicks before Narita tied her up in a clinch. She took Oyama
\ndown and stayed on top in her guard, but the action remained
\nsparse. Oyama attacked Narita\u2019s left leg with kicks in the early
\nstages of the final period. Narita scored a takedown at the midway
\npoint and settled into her opponent\u2019s guard again. The fighters
\nwere stood up due to inactivity, and they exchanged punches during
\nthe final 15 seconds of the lackluster fight. One judge scored the
\nbout 29-28 for Narita, while the remaining two had it 30-27 and
\n29-28, respectively, in favor of Oyama for a split decision victory
\nthat did not thrill the crowd.<\/p>\n

Highly entertaining flyweight prospect Kyohei
\nTakagi<\/a> (7-1, 3-0 Rizin) extended his winning streak with a
\nfirst-round mauling of the much more experienced Masatoshi
\nUeda<\/a> (22-14-3, 0-2 Rizin), who was bludgeoned on the ground.
\nTakagi held an edge in the early boxing exchanges, but he chose to
\nclinch with Ueda and then took him down into half-guard. When Ueda
\npostured for an armbar, Takagi blasted him with punches and
\nhammerfists. Ueda rolled to his side, and Takagi landed knees and
\nright hands until the fight was waved off at the 3:26 mark. Takagi
\nis now 5-0 in 2026.<\/p>\n

In an incredible bantamweight battle, Seiya Inoue<\/a>
\n(2-1, 2-1 Rizin) outlasted fellow striker Ryusei
\nAshizawa<\/a> (2-5, 2-5 Rizin) to earn a thrilling TKO finish. Inoue
\ntargeted Ashizawa\u2019s taped left knee with kicks and then floored him
\nwith a big left hook. Ashizawa recovered and got to his feet before
\nknocking Inoue down with a counter hook. Inoue stood and staggered
\nAshizawa with two left hooks, then dropped him with another left
\nhand but couldn\u2019t secure the finish. Finally, just as the round was
\nabout to end, Inoue scored one last knockdown and followed up with
\ntwo punches that prompted referee Tatsuro Nagase to dive in and
\nrescue a badly dazed Ashizawa. The official time was 4:56 of Round
\n1, and the bout was an easy Round of the Year contender.<\/p>\n

Former Grachan champion Hidetaka
\nArato<\/a> (12-4, 2-1 Rizin) scored a much-needed unanimous decision
\nwin over Ken
\nHasegawa<\/a> (18-7-1, 0-2 Rizin) in a surprisingly action-filled
\nheavyweight battle. Hasegawa held a considerable speed advantage in
\nthe first round and landed quick punches that kept Arato on the
\ndefensive. He outstruck his opponent throughout the period with
\nlead right hooks and straight left hands. Very late in the stanza,
\nArato rocked Hasegawa with a right hook and then dropped him
\nface-first with more punches, but Hasegawa \u2014 who had been in
\ncomplete control for 4:45 \u2014 was saved by the bell. The second frame
\nbegan with Hasegawa backing Arato up with elbows before the latter
\ncountered with two uppercuts. Arato eventually dropped him with a
\ncombination against the cage and tried to finish with elbows. Once
\nmore, Hasegawa made it to the end of the round. The pace slowed in
\nthe final five minutes as the exhausted fighters battled in
\nclinches. Arato threw Hasegawa to the ground and mounted him in the
\ndying seconds but could not secure the finish. All three judges
\nscored the bout for Arato, who halted a three-fight losing
\nskid.<\/p>\n

Bantamweight grappler Alan
\nYamaniha<\/a> (23-11-4, 6-2 Rizin) made a successful return to
\naction and earned his second consecutive victory over Seigo
\nYamamoto<\/a> (7-16-1, 0-3 Rizin) in a rematch nearly two years
\nafter their first fight. Yamaniha pulled half-guard after absorbing
\na flying knee to begin the bout and spent the next two minutes
\nholding a kneeling Yamamoto against the base of the cage. When
\nYamamoto stood and tried to stomp Yamaniha\u2019s face, the Brazilian
\nlatched on to his leg and pulled back on a kneebar for the tapout
\nvictory at the 3:00 mark of Round 1.<\/p>\n

Veteran Deep contender Kohei
\nSugiyama<\/a> (17-10, 1-1 Rizin) earned a split decision victory
\nover Grachan champion Kaito Oda<\/a>
\n(8-4, 0-1 Rizin) in a flyweight bout that was not as close as one
\njudge\u2019s scorecard suggested. Oda knocked Sugiyama down with punches
\nagainst the cage in the opening minute but could not secure a
\nfinish. Most of the first round was contested in clinch battles,
\nthough Oda landed another punching flurry and a knee. Sugiyama took
\nhim down with 25 seconds remaining and scored another takedown into
\nback control early in the second stanza. A series of scrambles
\nfollowed before Sugiyama caught Oda in a guillotine choke. Shortly
\nbefore time expired, Sugiyama postured up and landed hammerfists to
\nOda\u2019s face. The final period began with 50 seconds of continuous
\npunching until Sugiyama took his opponent down once more. He
\nsecured a high-elbow guillotine choke and then took Oda\u2019s back.
\nSugiyama maintained the position with rear-naked choke attempts
\nuntil the bell, and two of the three judges scored the fight in his
\nfavor.<\/p>\n

In early preliminary card action, Ryota Oki<\/a>
\n(7-5, 2-0 Rizin) stopped Daisuke
\nOkumiya<\/a> (9-6-1, 0-1 Rizin) with punches and soccer kicks at the
\n4:47 mark of Round 1 in lightweight MMA action; Kotaro Mori knocked
\nout Yuuki Kaneeda with a right hook at the 1:42 mark of Round 2 in
\na 220-pound kickboxing clash; Ryusei Imamura blitzed Reon Uemura
\nwith punches for a TKO victory 1:39 into their flyweight kickboxing
\nmatch; and Ayuto Kaneeda earned a lopsided unanimous decision
\nvictory over Kakeru Tsuda, who incurred a two-point penalty for
\nmissing weight for the 143-pound kickboxing bout. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
