Naoki Inoue and Yuki Motoya, RIZIN 50 Credit: RIZIN FF
RIZIN Fighting Federation hit the half-century mark on Sunday, at least in terms of numbered cards, with RIZIN 50 taking place at the Anabuki Arena Kagawa in Kagawa, Japan.
In the main event, former UFC flyweight Naoki Inoue put his bantamweight title on the line when he took on Yuki Motoya. The challenger had won three straight, two under the RIZIN banner, to earn his shot at gold.
Also featured on the card, Canadian flyweight Tony Laramie brought an eight-fight win streak into his showdown with Yuki Ito. UFC and Bellator veteran Spike Carlyle, meanwhile, had missed weight for a fight with Takeshi Izumi. He would start the fight with a red card, costing him a point, and should he win, the bout would be ruled a No Contest.
