Makoto Shinryu vs Hiromasa Ougikubo | Super RIZIN.3 2024 Showdown

Makoto Shinryu and veteran grinder Hiromasa Ougikubo went head-to-head at Super RIZIN.3 in one of the year’s most underrated flyweight scraps. Sharp grappling, smart movement, and just enough danger to keep you glued — this was high-level stuff with real stakes in the RIZIN pecking order.

Shinryu came in needing to rebound after a tough loss to Erson Yamamoto at RIZIN Landmark, while Ougikubo was out to prove he’s still a problem after going three hard rounds with Jose Torres at RIZIN 47. What we got was a gritty chess match — not flashy, but clean, tense, and technical to the end.

This is the kind of fight that defines RIZIN: homegrown talent, sharp matchups, and a style that stays true to Japan’s roots. And with Super RIZIN.4 coming up at Saitama Super Arena, flyweight momentum is everything.

The next wave is already taking shape. Naoki Inoue vs Ryuya Fukuda and Seika Izawa vs Yu Jin Shin are both set to light up the next card. Don’t let this one slip by — Shinryu vs Ougikubo might not be flashy, but it matters.
