What better way to get the weekend started than by staying up late to take in an MMA event that has a huge main card. 2024 Rizin FF | MyBookie MMA | Rizin FF Landmark Vol. 8

Rizin Landmark 8 in Saga is the event in question, and it is set to begin in the wee small hours of Saturday morning (12 AM EST). This is one that is well worth staying up late for, as it is home to no less than 8 fights on the main card. We are going to quickly break all of the bouts down to see if we can pick some Rizin winners. Let’s get to the main card now, moving all the way up to the main event.

When: Saturday at 12 AM ET
Where: Saga Arena, Saga, Japan
TV / Streaming: U.S. Broadcast: Internet PPV

Yuki Ito Vs Masatoshi Ueda

We get the main card started with a Flyweight bout featuring a pair of fighters with plenty of experience. Ito has bounced back nicely from back-to-back losses to win each of his last 2 fights, taking his record to 15-5 in the process. Ueda won his last bout, but he has also lost 3 of his last 5 overall. I have Ito taking this one via decision.

Tenka Takizawa Vs Shohei Nose

We have a Bantamweight bout up next and a pair of fighters in need of a win/ Takizawa is on the slide right now, coming into this one on a 3-fight losing skid that has dropped his record to 13-10. Nose is coming off a win last time out, but he is just 2-2 in his last 4 fights. I like Nose to get the submission win.

Daichi Abe Vs Kota Shirakawa

The Welterweights are up next, and once again we have fighters in need of a victory. Abe is 12-7 overall, but he has been on the losing end in each of his last 2 fights. Shirikawa is totally unpredictable, going 4-4 through his opening 8 fights as a pro. Abe does have some finishing power and I like him for the KO win in this one.

Takahiro Ashida Vs Hiroaki Suzuki

It’s experience versus a relative newbie in this Featherweight bout. It is Ashida who has all the experience here, going 26-13-2 in his career, although he has lost 3 of his last 5 bouts. Suzuki is still trying to find his way as a pro, going 3-3 thus far. I think things might be about to get even worse for Suzuki here.

Saori Oshima Vs Claire Lopez

Next up is the lone female fight on the main card and it looks like a good battle. Oshima is coming off a loss, but she is also 12-4 overall. Lopez has not fought much over the past couple of years and is at 8-5 overall, including a 2-2 record in her last 4. I like Oshima for the submission win.

Yusuki Yachi Vs Rikuto Shirakawa

We have what looks to be a very good Lightweight bout up next. Yachi comes in with a 25-13 record overall and is the winner of his last 2 fights. Shirakawa saw a great run come to an end with a loss last time out, dropping his record to 11-9-1. I like this one to go the distance, with Yachi getting the win.

Kazumasa Majima Vs Masakazu Imanari

The co-main event of the night is a Featherweight bout between a pair of veteran brawlers. Majima is 16-4 overall and is back on track with 2 straight wins after a losing skid. Imanari is 48 years old and at the tail end of his career. Losing 4 of his last 5 fights. I believe this should be a win for Majima.

Luiz Gustavo Vs Yoshinoro Horie

We close out the night with the main event, which is a great looking Lightweight bout. Gustavo is 13-2 overall and on a run that has seen him win each of his last 3 fights. It is much the same story for Horie, who has won 4 of his last 5 to move to 13-4 overall. Expect some fireworks here, with Gustavo getting the KO win.
