RIZIN Fighting Federation returned to action on Sunday with the massive RIZIN 51 card in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

From Octagon Icon to Silver Screen For longtime MMA fans, Mark Kerr is a name that needs no introduction. Known as "The Smashing Machine" for his raw power and relentless ground game, Kerr was a two-time UFC Heavyweight Tournament Champion and a Pride Fighting Championships superstar.

Outside of the cage, Kasanganay, who earned a million dollars for his 2023 PFL championship win, is moving into the world of finance.

November 12 is my start date, so I've just got to finish some things, and God willing everything finishes through, but I'll be in consulting and doing finance," Kasanganay revealed. "So I'll be doing that while fighting; I'll be active for sure."

"I know he wouldn't want that, I know he wouldn't want to get into it. It's not going to happen, so it is what it is."
