RIZIN 32 videos, results: Rena Kubota stops Miyuu Yamamoto with vicious knee in main event

RIZIN put on its 32nd card with atomweight contender Miyuu Yamamoto looking to avenge her MMA debut loss to Rena Kubota five years after the fact in the main event in Okinawa, Japan, on Saturday, but she didn’t get her revenge in the end.

Yamamoto kicked off well in the first round, landing a couple of good left hands before taking Kubota down to work her ground-and-pound. Kubota surprised her with an armbar attempt, with Yamamoto landing knees to the head to defend herself. Kubota had the armbar deep, but time ran out.

Yamamoto wasted no time on the feet in the second stanza, getting Kubota on the ground just seconds into the action. Back standing after a minute of ground-and-pound, Yamamoto shot for another takedown but ate a big knee to the face. Yamamoto was hurt and the referee stopped it after a few more shots from Kubota.

The 13-fight event featured more wild finishes, such as Tanner Lourenco making Shinya Kumazawa pay for using a gi during the match, and forcing him to tap while choking him with the lapel. In the heavyweight division, Bobby Ologun finished MMA newcomer Katsuya Kitamura with a rear-naked choke in the second.

The Japanese audience witnessed a couple of memorable knockouts in the early portion of the show as Yuichi Miyagi put Tomohiro Adaniya out cold with a vicious knee in the clinch inside the first minute of their flyweight contest, while Noah Bey dropped and finished Daryl Lokuku with a right hand.
