The RIZIN JAPAN Grand Prix Heavyweight Tournament will take place starting at RIZIN 54 on August 11, 2026, at the Toyota Arena. The grand prix final will take place at an event held in November.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, but ongoing legal troubles outside the ring have thrown his career into uncertainty. Will the three-division champion ever fight again? Ryan Garcia is a talented fighter, blessed with elite speed and devastating power in his left hand. However, the biggest win of his career against Devin Haney was wiped away after he tested positive for a banned substance.

Ideally, I would prefer to stay in my weight class at lightweight. But if that doesn't happen, if they offer me a title fight at featherweight, then why not? Otherwise, there's no point of fighting at featherweight against just anyone; I'd rather fight in my own division.

'Our new rules, 'Stand and Bang,' between Materla and Jungwirth, that would be something special. Now it's basically gonna be boxing with small gloves, with elbows also, clinch on the fence, but no takedowns, no kicks. And I believe this will be something special.'

"About the decision, about the fight, nobody stay happy. I think the only people who stay happy about the decision is my opponent and his team. The president is making the right choice with that, that's protecting the image of the company and not tainting their legacy and the sport."

Since the announcement last September that Mayweather and Tyson were set to meet in an exhibition this year, details surrounding the event have been scarce. There have been no updates regarding where the fight will be broadcast/streamed, and sources close to the event told ESPN that reports of an April 25 date in the Democratic Republic of Congo were 'extremely premature.'

Russian quasi-MMA league Hype FC released the news on Friday that it would be holding an event on March 11 in Rio de Janeiro. The top of that card will see a submission-only grappling match between "Shara Bullet" Magomedov against Masvidal, with the two tangling for five-to-10 minutes at the Farmasi Arena in Brazil's second-largest city.
