RIZIN LANDMARK 13 delivered a string of finishes and notable results on April 12, with Radjabali Shaydullaev stopping Yuta Kubo in the main event and Danny Sabatello picking up a unanimous decision win over Joji Goto.
Shaydullaev ended the main event quickly, finishing Kubo by TKO at the 4:13 mark of the opening round. Sabatello, meanwhile, controlled his contest against Goto across the full duration, earning all three judges' nods. The American Top Team product carries a 9-1-0 record and fights out of the United States at 33 years old. Standing five-foot-ten with a 71-inch reach, the orthodox fighter known as "Italian Gangster" brings a well-rounded game built around precision striking — he lands at a 57 percent accuracy rate — and consistent grappling pressure, averaging three takedowns per 15 minutes.
One of the card's more compelling results came in the lightweight matchup between Yoshinori Horie and veteran Patricky "Pitbull" Freire, with Horie taking a split decision. The 31-year-old Japanese fighter out of Alliance-Square improved to 8-2-0, landing at 49 percent striking accuracy and averaging 2.76 significant strikes per minute. Freire, the Brazilian veteran at 40 years old, brought a 17-8-0 record and a reputation for volume output — averaging over three significant strikes per minute across his career — but could not secure the win on the night.
The card also saw knockout victories for Azizbek Temirov and Tayo Asahisa, submission wins for Makoto Takahashi and Natalya Kuzyutina, and a handful of decision results across the undercard. The bout between Kyohei Hagiwara and Abija Kaleo Mehula was ruled a no contest.
Why it matters
- Sabatello's unanimous decision keeps him firmly in the RIZIN bantamweight conversation at 9-1-0
- Horie's split decision over the experienced Freire is a marquee win that bolsters his lightweight credentials
- Shaydullaev's first-round TKO in the main event signals his continued relevance in the heavyweight division
