Rizin Fighting Federation returns to action for the first time in 2021, with Rizin 27 taking place at the Tokyo Dome on Sunday, March 21st.

The event is headlined by a Rizin Women’s Super Atomweight Title bout between reigning champion Ayaka Hamasaki and challenger, Kanna Asakura. The rest of the card consists of 10 MMA bouts mixed in with four kickboxing bouts, featuring mostly Japanese talent, presumably due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
