Rizin FF 9 took place earlier today in Japan and you can see all the results below.
Bantamweight grand-prix favorite Kyoji Horiguchi won the tournament with two stoppage victories in the space of just a few hours.
First came an arm-triangle choke submission against Manel Kape in the semi-finals, setting up a final with Shintaro Ishiwatari, who moved past Takafumi Otsuka by unanimous decision.
The two fighters then met in the main event of the show, with Horiguchi claiming a knockout victory over Ishiwatari in the second round.
Earlier, Kanna Asakura won the super-atomweight grand-prix final with a pair of submission victories against Maria Oliveira and Rena Kubota.
Mirko Cro Cop was also back in action and delivered a swift TKO stoppage against Tsuyoshi Kosaka, putting him down early with punches against the ropes and then feeding him ground and pound until the corner stoppage came just 62 seconds into the fight.
