Fourteen of the sixteen main card fighters at RIZIN LANDMARK 14 successfully cleared the scales. Takamasa Nobutaka and Haga Bilal Kai both failed to make weight, though their bouts will go ahead under standard rules with no contest cancellations or point deductions applied.
Two fighters came in over the limit at RIZIN LANDMARK 14, though the promotion confirmed both affected bouts will proceed as scheduled under standard rules.
Takamasa Nobutaka and Haga Bilal Kai each failed to make weight during the official weigh-ins ahead of the June 5 event. Despite the misses, RIZIN officials announced no contests would be cancelled and no point deductions would be applied, meaning both bouts will continue under normal competitive conditions.
The rest of the main card passed without issue. Fourteen of the sixteen fighters who stepped on the scales successfully hit their respective marks, keeping the bulk of the card intact.
Why it matters
- Two separate weight failures on one card is an uncommon occurrence for a RIZIN main card event.
- Both bouts proceeding under standard rules means the fighters who missed weight face no formal in-cage penalty, though their opponents absorb the risk of facing opponents who did not cut to the agreed limit.
- RIZIN's decision to apply no point deductions leaves the competitive outcome entirely in the hands of the judges and finishes, rather than administrative scoring adjustments.
