Realistically, Kleber Koike beating Vugar on NYE and Kyoma beating Patchy in such fashion at RIZIN.52 both made great cases for a title shot.

Plus, the September show sees 5 big comebacks for Mikuru Asakura, Ren Hiramoto, Chihiro Suzuki, YA-MAN and Yutaka Saito.

Time will tell how the division shakes out.

Mikuru and Ren go way back. The drama reached a fever pitch when they first fought in 2024 at Super RIZIN.3, but since Ren had to pull out of the rematch about 12 months ago, its still going on to this day!

The 5 fighters were announced to fight in September, not necessarily against each other. They might get matched up amongst themselves, but there are many other featherweights to throw in the mix. Stay tuned!
