The night’s main event saw flyweight champion Hiromasa Ougikubo, a veteran of The Ultimate Fighter, looking to defend his title against fellow Japanese star Makoto Takahashi.

With victories over John Dodson and Jose “Shorty” Torres, Ougikubo had put together an impressive five-fight win streak culminating in claiming flyweight gold from Yuki Motoya. Yet in his first title defense, Ougikubo went the distance with Takahashi, and came out on the wrong side of a unanimous decision.

Takahashi avenged a prior loss to Hiromasa Ougikubo with the win, evening their career series. That could set up a rematch, though another fighter on the RIZIN Landmark 14 card could have something to say about that.

That would be Canadian flyweight standout Tony Laramie, brother of former UFC featherweight T.J. Laramie. Tony was paired up with ex-champ Yuki Motoya in the night’s co-main event, a fight that went the distance and saw Laramie win a spirited unanimous decision. Spirited and dominant; with RIZIN now featuring 10-point must scoring, Laramie picked up two 30-26 scores, and a 30-25.

The BTC and PFC champion is now 4-1 in RIZIN, and has won three straight. Having picked up a win over a former champion, it’s clear the Windsor, Ontario native is circling a title shot.
