Mikuru Asakura is one of the biggest stars in Japanese MMA in recent years, and Kleber Koike wants to once again ruin his night at RIZIN.

The Brazilian fighter, although a former champion in KSW, was not a known commodity when he joined RIZIN in 2020. Asakura, already 8-1 in the promotion at the time, was left unconscious when he met the jiu-jitsu ace in the main event of RIZIN 28 at the iconic Tokyo Dome.

They will meet again four years later...
