All 38 contracted fighters made weight, setting the stage for possibly the best event of 2023. Embodying the spirit of THE MATCH, RISE continues to co-promote, this time with GLORY, Petchyindee and K-1 to end the year with a bang.
Headlining the RISE WORLD SERIES 2023 Final Round will be the 54 KG Tournament final between {Kumandoi} against {Toki Tamaru}. Both shattered expectations beating tournament-favorites Shiro and Kazuki Osaki, and now will look to deliver the most anticipated Thailand vs. Japan match-up of the year.
Australian Nak Muay {Chadd Collins} looks to solve the unsolvable puzzle that is GLORY & RISE champion Petchpanomrung in the co-main event. Collins has looked unstoppable in his rise up the ranks, and could pose serious problems for the Thai veteran.
RISE champions {Kazuki Osaki} and {Shiro} will take no easy fight after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the tournament, but instead face some of Thailand's best.
Several other RISE vs. GLORY match-ups featuring {Taiju Shiratori}, {Abraham Vidales}, {Kento Haraguchi}, and {Kaito} will round out the card.
Elsewhere on the card, Krush champion {Koji Ikeda} takes on {Musashi Matsushita}.
The event will stream live on ABEMA in Japan at 12:30 PM JST. The stream won't be region-blocked and can be watched globally for free. Tickets are available at eplus.jp.
