Super RIZIN 5 will take place on Thursday, September 10, 2026! You can catch all the live MMA action at Kyocera Dome Ōsaka in Osaka, Japan! A spectacle-driven event blends high-level MMA with a unique presentation style and international talent.
RIZIN Fighting Federation was founded in 2015 by Nobuyuki Sakakibara and was explicitly positioned as a spiritual successor to the old Japanese big-event style associated with PRIDE and DREAM. The promotion’s identity is unmistakably Japanese, from its ring-based presentation to its larger-than-life event feel and hybrid willingness to mix MMA with crossover elements. RIZIN does not try to look like a copy of the U.S. model; it leans into spectacle, tradition, and national fight-culture memory. That distinct presentation style is one of the reasons it has such a strong identity.
