A late addition to the Rizin FF 33 lineup features a kickboxing dynamo and a Japanese MMA legend. Promotion officials recently announced that striking specialist Tenshin Nasukawa and former PRIDE lightweight champion Takanori Gomi will meet in a special rules match at Rizin FF 33, which takes place on New Year’s Eve at Japan’s famed Saitama Super Arena. The bout is expected to serve as Nasukawa’s final appearance for Rizin before he takes part in a final kickboxing bout against fellow Japanese standout Takeru Segawa in June. The 23-year-old Nasukawa (42-0 kickboxing) then expects to pursue a career in boxing. Rizin officials marked the occasion of his final appearance with a special poster
