Background
Kyushu Conquest: Double Championship Glory at RIZIN Landmark 13!
The Marine Messe Fukuoka is set to become a pressure cooker of high-stakes martial arts as RIZIN Fighting Federation brings its premier "cage" series to the heart of Kyushu. On April 12, 2026, RIZIN Landmark 13: Shaydullaev vs. Kubo delivers a card of staggering technical depth, featuring two world titles and the return of some of the most recognizable names in global combat. In a city defined by its warrior tradition, this night represents a definitive collision between the rising power of Central Asia and the technical mastery of Japan’s elite.
The Main Event: Featherweight Supremacy
At the summit of the card, the RIZIN Featherweight Championship is on the line as the undefeated wrecking ball Razhabali Shaydullaev meets the surgical precision of Yuta Kubo. Shaydullaev has become a terrifying enigma in the featherweight division, combining a relentless grappling pace with a physical strength that has seen him dismantle every challenger in his path.
In Yuta Kubo, however, he faces a tactical genius. A former K-1 world champion, Kubo has successfully transitioned his elite-level kickboxing to the cage, utilizing world-class distance management and a rapidly evolving defensive grappling game. This is a quintessential battle of "unyielding pressure vs. master-class precision," where the winner emerges as the undisputed king of the 145-pound ranks.
Bantamweight Warfare: Sabatello vs. Goto
The championship intensity remains at a peak in the co-main attraction as the vacant Bantamweight title is contested between the polarizing Danny "The Italian Gangster" Sabatello and the gritty Joji Goto. Sabatello brings his world-class wrestling and relentless pace from the international stage to Fukuoka, looking to establish immediate dominance in Japan. He meets a formidable adversary in Goto, a local favorite known for his technical striking and a "never-back-down" spirit. For Sabatello, this is a chance to silence the doubters, for Goto, it is the ultimate opportunity to capture gold on home soil.
Global Stars and Lightweight Fire
The main card is further bolstered by the arrival of Bellator legend and former world champion Patricky "Pitbull" Freire, who tests his legendary power against the durable and heavy-handed Yoshinori Horie. This 155-pound clash is a frontrunner for "Fight of the Night" honors, as Pitbull looks to prove his championship pedigree against the surging Horie.
The international flavor continues as Ireland’s James Gallagher makes his highly anticipated RIZIN debut against the submission specialist Kazumasa Majima. Additionally, fans will witness a high-stakes flyweight encounter between Makoto "Shinryu" Takahashi and South African veteran Nkazimulo Zulu, while the legendary Ayaka Hamasaki returns to the Super Atomweight ranks against Olympic medalist Natalia Kuziutina.
The RIZIN Crucible: A Night of Pure Combat
From the opening "Special Rules" matches designed to showcase the next generation of Fukuoka talent to the high-velocity kickboxing duel between Taio Asahisa and Singphayak, RIZIN Landmark 13 is a testament to the diversity of modern martial arts.
In the Marine Messe Fukuoka, a win is more than just a victory, it is a declaration of intent. Every exchange under the lights is a step toward global recognition, and every finish is a reminder that the heartbeat of Asian MMA is being forged in the RIZIN cage.
A Rizin Featherweight Championship bout between current champion Razhabali Shaydullaev and former K-1 Welterweight Champion Yuta Kubo is scheduled to headline the event. The pairing previously fought at Rizin 49 in December 2024, which Shaydullaev won by second round TKO.
