Get ready for an action-packed night as RIZIN LANDMARK 13 is set to take place on April 11th! The highly anticipated event will see the first title defense of Danny Sabatello's bantamweight reign, as he takes on Joji Goto at the Marine Messe Fukuoka in Fukuoka, Japan. But here's where it gets exciting: the card also features the return of former Bellator champion Patricky Pitbull and the promotional debut of James Gallagher.
Sabatello (17-4-1), a Bellator veteran, recently parted ways with PFL and has been on a winning streak under the RIZIN banner, dethroning Naoki Inoue via split decision on the final card of 2025. Goto (20-8-1), who earned his shot at the belt after going 5-0 in the RIZIN ring, will be looking to make a statement in his first title defense.
In the lightweight division, Pitbull (25-15) will face off against Yoshinori Horie (14-6), a record holder for most knockouts in Bellator history. Horie, who is in desperate need of a win after losing his past four in a row, will be looking to turn things around against the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, Ireland's Gallagher (13-3) will make his promotional debut against Kazumasa Majima (18-6), a veteran of nine RIZIN appearances. Majima, who has only one bout ending via decision, will be looking to make a statement in his first fight in Japan.
So, mark your calendars and get ready for an action-packed night of combat sports! But here's the controversial part: who do you think will come out on top? Will Sabatello successfully defend his title? Will Pitbull turn things around? And will Gallagher make a strong promotional debut? Let us know in the comments!
