Rizin Fighting Federation (stylised in all caps and also known as Rizin FF) is a Japanese <a href="Mixed_martial_arts" title="Mixed martial arts">mixed martial arts</a> organization created in 2015 by the former <a href="Pride_Fighting_Championships" title="Pride Fighting Championships">Pride Fighting Championships</a> and <a href="Dream_Stage_Entertainment" title="Dream Stage Entertainment">Dream Stage Entertainment</a> president <a href="Nobuyuki_Sakakibara" title="Nobuyuki Sakakibara">Nobuyuki Sakakibara</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>

Founded to be the <a href="Spiritual_successor" title="Spiritual successor">spiritual successor</a> of Pride FC and <a href="Dream_(mixed_martial_arts)" title="Dream (mixed martial arts)">Dream</a>, Rizin carries much of the philosophy and ambition of its two predecessors: its events are promoted as larger-than-life events with elaborate opening ceremonies and fighter entrances, its matches are fought in a <a href="Ring_(boxing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Ring (boxing)">roped ring</a> and it has a ruleset inherited from Pride and Dream. The organization also promotes "Grand Prix", <a href="Single-elimination_tournament" title="Single-elimination tournament">single-elimination tournaments</a> where fighters have to fight multiple opponents in the same night.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> Rizin is considered Japan's top MMA promotion.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

Besides MMA, Rizin events also occasionally contain other <a href="Combat_sport" title="Combat sport">combat sport</a> bouts, the promotion promoted <a href="Kickboxing" title="Kickboxing">kickboxing</a> — with two "Grand Prix" tournaments in 2017<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> and 2021.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> — <a href="Submission_grappling" class="mw-redirect" title="Submission grappling">submission grappling</a>, <a href="Boxing" title="Boxing">boxing</a><a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> and <a href="Bare-knuckle_boxing" title="Bare-knuckle boxing">bare-knuckle boxing</a> matches.<a href="#cite_note-Staff-9">[9]</a>

The promotion's name is a combination of "<a href="Raijin" title="Raijin">Raijin</a>", the Japanese god of lightning; the word "rising", meaning "to prosper and thrive"; and the letter, 'Z', meaning "ultimate".<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Background_and_formation">Background and formation</h3></div>

In 1997, <a href="Pride_Fighting_Championships" title="Pride Fighting Championships">Pride Fighting Championships</a> was founded in Japan, promoted by <a href="Dream_Stage_Entertainment" title="Dream Stage Entertainment">Dream Stage Entertainment</a>. The organization quickly rose up to become the world's most popular <a href="Mixed_martial_arts" title="Mixed martial arts">MMA</a> promotion and helped to popularize the sport in Japan and in the world. Pride differentiated itself from the <a href="UFC" class="mw-redirect" title="UFC">UFC</a> with its focus on spectacle and entertainment, as well a more permissive ruleset.<a href="#cite_note-:0-11">[11]</a> By 2007, a scandal alleging its ties to the <a href="Yakuza" title="Yakuza">yakuza</a> caused a financial decline that led to the promotion folding. Dream Stage Entertainment was bought by <a href="Zuffa" title="Zuffa">Zuffa</a>—UFC's holding company—which initially promised to keep the event running. However, Zuffa would lay off most of Pride's staff with several Pride fighters moving to the UFC.<a href="#cite_note-:0-11">[11]</a>

After Pride folded, most of DSE's former staff, fighters and executives joined <a href="Fighting_and_Entertainment_Group" title="Fighting and Entertainment Group">Fighting and Entertainment Group</a>, the promoters of <a href="K-1" title="K-1">K-1</a>, to organize a successor, which became known as <a href="Dream_(mixed_martial_arts)" title="Dream (mixed martial arts)">Dream</a>.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> However, FEG would have its own financial issues and went bankrupt in 2012. As a result, Dream became defunct.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a>

Three years after Dream folded, rumors began circulating that Pride and Dream founder <a href="Nobuyuki_Sakakibara" title="Nobuyuki Sakakibara">Nobuyuki Sakakibara</a> would return to the industry after an interview with <a href="Bellator_MMA" title="Bellator MMA">Bellator MMA</a> President <a href="Scott_Coker" title="Scott Coker">Scott Coker</a> was released.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> On September 19, 2015, during <a href="Bellator_MMA_%26_Glory%3A_Dynamite_1" title="Bellator MMA & Glory: Dynamite 1">Bellator MMA & Glory: Dynamite 1</a>, it was announced that Sakakibara had signed former <a href="List_of_Pride_champions" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Pride champions">Pride Heavyweight Champion</a> <a href="Fedor_Emelianenko" title="Fedor Emelianenko">Fedor Emelianenko</a> to headline a New Year's Eve Show in <a href="Tokyo" title="Tokyo">Tokyo</a> for his new MMA promotion.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> Sakakibara held a press conference on October 8, 2015, with <a href="Nobuhiko_Takada" title="Nobuhiko Takada">Nobuhiko Takada</a> and other former Pride FC employees to formally announce the launch of "Rizin Fighting Federation".<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> Initial signees included <a href="Kazushi_Sakuraba" title="Kazushi Sakuraba">Kazushi Sakuraba</a>, <a href="Shinya_Aoki" title="Shinya Aoki">Shinya Aoki</a>, as well as female competitors <a href="Gabi_Garcia" title="Gabi Garcia">Gabi Garcia</a> and <a href="Rena_Kubota" title="Rena Kubota">Rena Kubota</a>.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a>

A Grand Prix tournament was announced (held at 100 kg or roughly 220 lbs), with champions and competitors from Bellator, <a href="Konfrontacja_Sztuk_Walki" title="Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki">KSW</a>, <a href="Jungle_Fight" title="Jungle Fight">Jungle Fight</a>,<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> <a href="BAMMA" title="BAMMA">BAMMA</a>, and <a href="King_of_Kings_(kickboxing)" title="King of Kings (kickboxing)">King of Kings</a>. Most notably, <a href="Muhammed_Lawal" title="Muhammed Lawal">King Mo</a> was announced to represent Bellator in the tournament.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> The 8-man bracket was officially finalized on November 30, 2015, with other bouts also being announced shortly thereafter.<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> <a href="Kron_Gracie" title="Kron Gracie">Kron Gracie</a> (whose father <a href="Rickson_Gracie" title="Rickson Gracie">Rickson</a> competed at the inaugural PRIDE event) was announced to participate against Asen Yamamoto.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Amongst the veterans in the Japanese scene, <a href="Tsuyoshi_Kosaka" title="Tsuyoshi Kosaka">Tsuyoshi Kosaka</a> would face <a href="James_Thompson_(fighter)" title="James Thompson (fighter)">James Thompson</a>,<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> and <a href="Akebono_Tar%C5%8D" title="Akebono Tarō">Akebono Tarō</a> would face <a href="Bob_Sapp" title="Bob Sapp">Bob Sapp</a>.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a>

Initial plans were to do at least four events per year, as opposed to the more frequent scheduling of other promotions, in order to build up the excitement and anticipation.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Rizin's presentation is modeled after major sporting events, such as the <a href="UEFA_Champions_League" title="UEFA Champions League">UEFA Champions League</a> and <a href="FIFA_World_Cup" title="FIFA World Cup">FIFA World Cup</a>.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mixed_martial_arts">Mixed martial arts</h3></div>

The rules in Rizin FF have been adopted from Pride FC with some slight modifications over the years. Matches are three rounds in length. Prior to May 2018, the first round of men's matches spanned 10 minutes, while the final two rounds lasted five minutes each. Since then matches have been three rounds of five minutes each. Victory can be attained by <a href="Knockout" title="Knockout">knockout</a>, <a href="Submission_(combat_sport_term)" class="mw-redirect" title="Submission (combat sport term)">submission</a>, <a href="Technical_knockout" class="mw-redirect" title="Technical knockout">technical knockout</a> by <a href="Referee" title="Referee">referee</a> stoppage, or by judges' decision.

All strikes, throws and chokes are permitted, with the exception of <a href="Headbutts" class="mw-redirect" title="Headbutts">headbutts</a> and strikes to the back of the head, <a href="Medulla_oblongata" title="Medulla oblongata">medulla oblongata</a>, spinal cord or genitals.<a href="#cite_note-rules-53">[53]</a> <a href="Soccer_kick" title="Soccer kick">Soccer kicks</a>, <a href="Knee_(strike)" title="Knee (strike)">knees</a> and <a href="Stomp_(strike)" title="Stomp (strike)">stomps</a> to grounded opponents are also permitted. However, if there is a weight discrepancy of 15 kg (33 lb) or more, the lighter fighter is allowed to choose if such ground attacks are permitted.<a href="#cite_note-rules-53">[53]</a> Unlike Pride, Rizin allows the use of <a href="Elbow_strike" class="mw-redirect" title="Elbow strike">elbow strikes</a>, including the <a href="12%E2%80%936_elbow" title="12–6 elbow">12–6 elbow</a>.<a href="#cite_note-the-fighter.net-54">[54]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Judging_criteria">Judging criteria</h4></div>

Fights are judged on the following criteria:<a href="#cite_note-rules-53">[53]</a>

<ul><li>Damage: when assessing damage, both striking and grappling are given the same weight. The judges will place value on the extent to which the effective striking or grappling 'influences the match' - in other words, whether there was such damage/advantage to the fighter which would have led to the fight being ended by the opponent tapping out or being knocked out.</li>

<li>Aggressiveness: the judges will consider which fighter was more effective in delivering attacks which may end the fight in a finish. Note this element does not take into consideration the actual impact of damage caused by the fighter's strikes, throws or submission. Rather, the judges will place value on whether fighters were aggressive and proactive in their approach during the fight.</li>

<li>Generalship: the judges will consider which fighter was more effective in dominating the pace, place and position of the fight. Judges will also consider the amount of time spent in a ground position or the standing position.</li></ul>

Although not outlined in the Rizin rules, scorecards published on the JMOC website suggest that damage, aggressiveness and generalship are scored 50, 30 and 20 points respectively. Where the fighter has not fulfilled the element, they are given a score of zero - there are no in-betweens.<a href="#cite_note-the-fighter.net-54">[54]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Kickboxing">Kickboxing</h3></div>

Rizin kickboxing matches are three rounds of three minutes each. Victory can be attained by knockout, technical knockout by referee stoppage, or by judges' decision. If the match goes the distance, a 10-point system is used to judge.<a href="#cite_note-rules-53">[53]</a> Three <a href="Knockdown_(boxing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Knockdown (boxing)">knockdowns</a> in a single round will result in a technical knockout.<a href="#cite_note-rules-53">[53]</a> All forms of elbow strikes are illegal.<a href="#cite_note-rules-53">[53]</a>
