Tenshin Nasukawa set to face three opponents in one night at RIZIN 28

Tenshin Nasukawa is running through opponents in kickboxing, so RIZIN Fighting Federation has decided to think outside the box for his next appearance.

The Japanese fight promotion announced Tuesday that the undefeated kickboxing superstar will face three different opponents in one night this Sunday in Tokyo, battling one foe per round.

Nasukawa, who holds a perfect 41-0 record with 30 knockouts in kickboxing, will battle Koki Osaki (24-5-0-1, 15 KO) in the opening round, with Hiroya Kawabe (33-17, 20 KO) stepping in for the second stanza. The third opponent will only be revealed during the walkout.

The “special standing bout” will be contested in three-minute rounds with a three-knockdown rule. Kicks won’t be allowed, but fighters can throw superman punches and spinning backfists. The challenge ends prematurely if Nasukawa gets stopped by any of the opponents.

RIZIN 28 will take place at the iconic Tokyo Dome and will feature the coronation of RIZIN’s first lightweight champion in a match between grand prix winner Tofiq Musayev and jiu-jitsu specialist Roberto Satoshi. Check the complete lineup and the bout order below.
