He weighed in and faced off with Case wearing nothing but a bowtie and holding a plate with Japanese writing on it. Both men had a laugh and kept it light-hearted throughout the entire scene.
Osawa is coming into this bout with a record of 14-6. He won his last bout against Sho Usami back in April but has not fought in Rizin since 2018. Case is entering this bout having lost his last three bouts. If the fight between these two is even half as entertaining as the faceoff was then fans will be happy.
This cross-promotional event between Bellator and Rizin will be taking place on December 31 and can be seen in the U.S. on Showtime.
