RIZIN LANDMARK 15 on July 18 will feature a matchup between 41-year-old veteran Hiroaki Suzuki and 23-year-old Hinata Miyagawa. Suzuki carries a 6-6 record with four knockouts, while Miyagawa mirrors that mark at 7-7 with four KOs of his own.
A matchup between veteran Hiroaki Suzuki and young prospect Hinata Miyagawa has been officially added to the RIZIN LANDMARK 15 card, scheduled for July 18.
Suzuki, 41, enters the bout carrying a professional record of 6-6, with four of those victories coming by way of knockout. The veteran brings considerable experience to the contest, representing the kind of battle-tested presence that younger fighters often find difficult to navigate.
Miyagawa, at just 23 years old, holds a 7-7 record with four knockouts of his own, matching Suzuki's finishing power despite the significant gap in age and experience. The younger man has had a mixed run so far in his career but carries a finishing threat that makes him a dangerous opponent for anyone he faces.
Why it matters
- Both fighters share nearly identical knockout tallies, setting up a striking-heavy contest between two men who can end a fight at any moment.
- The 18-year age gap between Suzuki and Miyagawa frames this as a classic veteran-versus-prospect dynamic, with each fighter carrying something to prove.
- A win for either man could serve as a springboard on the RIZIN circuit, where high-finish performances tend to attract future opportunities.
The card takes place on July 18 under the RIZIN LANDMARK banner, which has become a reliable platform for showcasing fighters across Japan's most prominent mixed martial arts promotion.
