LIVE! RIZIN 42 Results, Streaming Play-By-Play Coverage TONIGHT

John Dodson! Roberto Satoshi! Juan Archuleta! Buakaw!

I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited.

This morning (Sat., May 6, 2023), at 1 a.m. ET live from inside Ariake Arena, in Tokyo, Japan, is easily one of the best cards RIZIN has put on in many months (watch it here). RIZIN 42 is the rare card from the promotion that looks to have about as much star power as it can muster under its own banner, as well as some probable banger fights in store.

You’re here on MMAmania.com. It’s late at night here in the United States, so you already know who people like John Dodson and Juan Archuleta and Buakaw Banchamek are. That’s a hefty RIZIN lineup already. Now, toss in talented folks like Naoki Inoue, Spike Carlyle, YA-MAN, Roberto Satoshi, Kai Asakura and submission ace, Ulka Sasaki, and you’ve got yourself about as stacked a card as we’ve seen here in some time.

Yuta Hamamoto vs. Ramazan Temirov

Round 1: Temirov in white, Yuta in pink. Overhand right misses from Temirov to open the action. Temirov being aggressive early, Hamamoto moving and trying to defend. This overhand clips in for the Uzbekistani. Yuta with a step-in right. Ramazan nearly thunders in a left, but it wasn’t clean enough to do much. Two minutes to go. Left hand sends Yuta to the mat, but he bounces right back up. Didn’t look clean, but it sent Yuta flying. Big power right and left and now Hamamoto is back on the canvas. Temirov is swarming. Yuta is defending, but not enough to prevent a lot of shots from landing and the ref steps in.

FINAL RESULTS: Ramazan Temirov defeats Yuta Hamamoto, TKO (punches)

KICKBOXING Yasuhiro Kido vs. Sota Kimura

Round 1: Kimura in the white spandex, Kido in white trunks. Kido kicks the ankle to open us off. Kimura with body kicks and 1-2s. Kido goes up high, and while it was blocked, it still hit with enough force to do some damage. Good looping right by Kido, too. He’s kicking frequently, despite being on the back foot. Kimura hits an uppercut. Kido lands a right hand and a high kick. Now a spinning backfist.

Round 2: Nice push kick from Kido shoves Sota back. Cracking right hand buckles Kido’s knees. Might’ve been a bit more off balance, rather than eating a clean shot. Pair of nice jabs from Kido. Make that a third – they’ve all popped Kimura’s head back. Oof, low blow directly to the pills of Kimura, and we’ve got a break. We’re back, and another low blow, but this one doesn’t seem to bother Kimura.

Round 3: Both men land simultaneous straight rights – Kimura looked like his was stronger. Flurry by Sota. Kido with a right hook. Kido slips to the ground, could’ve been a knockdown, but not ruled that way. Kimura comes in with a combination, but eats a great counter right from Kido that staggers him. A low blow by Kimura now. Kido looks like he got it pretty bad and is taking his time to recover. Kido’s right hand has landed very well for him all bout – his kicks haven’t come clean. Both men swang and bang as the round starts to end. Kimura gets a last second knockdown – barely – but the standing 8 probably seals it for him.

FINAL RESULTS: Sota Kimura defeats Yasuhiro Kido, unanimous decision
