Lynn will hold two cards in May, defending the start of the heavyweight Grand Prix and the championship.
On May 4th, King Featherweight Clever Koek will put his title on the line at the main event of Tokyo’s Lysin Otokomatouri and Razabari Shaiduraev. Koike decided to win Suzuki Chihiro in December to get back the money, and Shaydullaev entered the ring with a 12-0 professional record.
Lysin Otokomatsuuri also features a highly anticipated lightweight match between Japanese star Suzuki Chihiro and Asakusa’s Mikuru, as well as the first round of the heavyweight Grand Prix.
Former SUMO wrestler Tsuyoshi Dalio will make his debut in a tournament with Bellator veteran Jose Augusto. Another Grand Prix Quarter Final match is Islamic Bek Baktibekur vs Alexander Soldatkin and Mikioueda vs Shomasibisai.
Three weeks later, Rizin landed in Korea, where 155 pound champion Roberto Satoshi defended his original path to UFC participants, winning Bi Kim on May 31.
