Rizin Fighting Federation: Landmark Vol. 5 Betting Analysis and Prediction

When you have events held in other countries, you tend to get rather odd start times here at home. That is the case with the latest entry from Rizin FF, which will be held in Japan and will start at 12 AM EST on Sunday morning. If you plan on staying up for this one, you will find plenty of MMA betting opportunities, as there are no less than 9 bouts on the main card. There is a lot of ground to cover with this one, so let’s jump right in.

 

MMA – Rizin FF: Landmark Vol. 5 | MMA Lines

When: Sunday at 3 AM EST
Where: Yoyogi National Stadium, Tokyo, Japan
TV / Streaming: FITE

 

Tatsuya Saika Vs Ali Abdulkhalikov

We open with a Lightweight bout that features on of the top 5 in Japan in this division. Saika is that fighter and comes into this one at 9-3 overall after winning 2 in a row. This will be a tough one, as Abdulkhalikov has won 4 of his last 5 fights to move to 11-2 overall. I think he takes this one via decision.

Kanna Asakura Vs Mei Yamaguchi

The women are up next for an Atomweight bout, with both in desperate need of a win. Asakura is 19-7 overall, but she has been struggling of late, losing 3 of her last 4 fights. It’s much the same story for Yamaguchi, who comes into this one on a 3-fight losing streak to fall to 21-14-1. I like this one to go the distance, with Asakura getting the nod.

Rena Kubota Vs Claire Lopez

The next fight on the main card sees the ladies’ step into the octagon once more. Kubota is 13-4 overall and has been in good form of late, winning 4 of her last 5. Lopez has a winning record of 7-4, but she has been a little more inconsistent, going 3-2 in her last 5 fights. I like Kubota to get the win here, perhaps by KO.

Tsuyoshi Sudario Vs Roque Martinez

The big boys are up next for what should be a bruising heavyweight bout. Sudario saw a 3-fight win streak snapped with a loss last time out, moving to 6-2 overall. Martinez, who is 16-8-2, won his last bout, snapping a 3-fight losing streak in the process. I like Sudario by KO here.

Kazuma Kuramoto Vs Shinbu Ota

Next up is a Bantamweight bout, with both fighters looking to bounce back from a loss. Kuramoto is 10-3 overall, but 2 of those losses have come in his last 4 fights. Ota is still new to the pro game and comes in with a 2-2 record. Close on, but I have Kuramoto edging it.

Betting Pick: Kuramoto | Bet Kuramoto to Win Today

Koji Takeda Vs Luiz Gustavo

We have a pair of Lightweights stepping into the octagon for the next fight. Takeda is 15-4 overall and has been rough of late, going 2-2 in his last 4. Gustavo lost 2 of 3 before snapping out of it to win his last 2. I think Gustavo continues to roll with the KO win.

Masanori Kanehara Vs Sora Yamamoto

We have what looks to be a very good Featherweight bout up next. Kanehara is 29-14-5 and has been hot of late, winning 4 of his last 5 fights. Yamamoto is 16-8-2, but he has been struggling, losing 2 in a row ahead of this one. I like Kanehara for the decision win.

Yutaka Saito Vs Ren Hiramoto

The penultimate fight of the night is a rather interesting Featherweight bout. Saito needs a win in the worst way after losing 3 in a row to fall to 20-7-2. On the flipside, Hiramoto has won 2 in a row after losing his first 2 pro fights. Experience should get Saito the win here.

Betting Pick: Saito | Bet Saito to Win Today

Juntarou Ushiku Vs Mikuru Asakura

We close out the night with a big Featherweight bout. Ushiku comes in with a 22-9-1 record, but he will be looking to bounce back after losing last time out. Asakura has come out of a rough patch to win 2 in a row and move to 16-3 overall. A good fight that I think ends with an Asakura win.

Betting Pick: Asakura | Bet Asakura to Win Today
