A rematch between Invicta FC contender Lindsey “Damsel” VanZandt and Japanese star Rena Kubota has been added to the upcoming Rizin Fighting Federation 20 card on December 31st in Saitama, Japan. Rizin FF officials announced the featured 50.8kg (111.8-pound) matchup this afternoon.
VanZandt needed just over four minutes to choke out Kubota in the pair’s first meeting at Bellator 222 in June. The VanZandt-Kubota rematch joins a previously confirmed Rizin FF Super Atomweight Championship trilogy bout between Ayaka Hamasaki and Seo Hee Ham on the New Year’s Eve card.
