Rizin FF 21 results: Mikuru Asakura scores knockout finish, gets unexpected challenge

BAD MMA News — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 11:16:45 +0000

Japanese featherweight star Mikuru Asakura produced a crowd-pleasing finish to defeat Mexico’s Daniel Salas in their 150-pound bout at Rizin FF 21 in Shizuoka, Japan, then received an unexpected callout from a former champion. Salas mixed up his strikes well in the opening round and looked to use his jab and reach to work from range, but was countered with stiff, crisp southpaw shots from Asakura, whose punches looked much more solid than those of the Mexican. That power advantage was evident in the final seconds of the round when Asakura first connected with a head kick, then landed a powerful right hand that briefly stunned Salas.
