As one of the largest MMA organisations in the world, Rizin Fighting Federation is a must-watch for MMA fans. You can bet on all the MMA action from this promotion right here at Stake Sportsbook.
What is Rizin Fighting Federation?
Rizin Fighting Federation, known simply as Rizin FF or just Rizin, is a Japanese mixed martial arts organisation which was created to carry on the philosophy and spirit of its predecessors, Pride FC and Dream. As a result, it’s known for its excellent presentation, including elaborate opening ceremonies and ring walks.
Rizin stands out from other promotions, such as the UFC, thanks to the fact that fights take place inside a roped ring rather than a cage. In addition, it uses the Pride ruleset and often holds grand-prix single-elimination tournaments and sometimes kickboxing events too.
History of the Rizin Fighting Federation
In 1997, Pride Fighting Championships was founded in Japan, quickly rising to become the world’s most popular MMA promotion. It was owned and promoted by Dream Stage Entertainment and featured many of the world’s best MMA fighters. The success of Pride FC helped to create a wider audience for MMA, but a 2007 scandal relating to the company’s ties to the yakuza resulted in the promotion folding.
Dream Stage Entertainment was bought out by Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC. Despite this, many of the former staff, executives and fighters left to start a new promotion known as Dream. However, this dream soon died as the parent company went bankrupt in 2012.
In October 2015, the founder of Pride and Dream, Nobuyuki Sakakibara, announced the launch of his new promotion, Rizin Fighting Federation. Signed fighters included the legendary Fedor Emelianenko, Kazushi Sakuraba, Shinya Aoki, Gabi Garcia and Rena Kubota.
The first event was the first half of the Rizin World Grand Prix in 2015, with the second half of the tournament taking place on New Year’s Eve 2015. Since then, the promotion has traditionally always held an event on New Year’s Eve.
Format & Schedule of Rizin Fighting Federation
Rizin usually holds under 10 events per year, including the New Year’s Eve shows, which showcase some of its best fighters.

MMA Betting Odds & Payouts
Make sure you understand Rizin FF betting odds and what they mean before you start betting. Higher odds will mean bigger payouts, but they also imply greater risk.

To make it easier for you to calculate your payouts, you can switch between betting odds formats, choosing decimal, fractional or American.
MMA Betting Tips, Predictions & Strategies
Styles make fights – One of the most important concepts in MMA betting is that styles make fights. While most fighters today are well-rounded, most generally have a speciality that they excel in. Some styles work really well against some fighters but not against others.
Research your picks – Every bet you make should be carefully researched. Use all the available data on each fighter to see their record, recent form and any other important stats. Make sure you judge the quality of their opposition, as having an undefeated record doesn’t mean much if they’ve only fought low-quality opponents.
Take advantage of the live odds – Live betting provides a great way to find value and get better odds. As the action happens inside the ring, the prices will move, and if you know where to look, you can take advantage of this. Follow the live stats to gain better insights into the fight and make informed betting decisions.
