The Rizin Fighting Federation heavyweight grand prix will wrap up its opening round next month.

Via a press release sent out on Friday, the promotion broke the news of several new matchups that would be part of Rizin Landmark Vol. 11 on June 14. One of the few bouts that had already been on the books was its presumptive featherweight headliner between Vugar Karamov and Shuya Kimura, and the organization slotted six MMA matches and three under kickboxing rules on the card that will be held at the Makomanai Sekisui Heim Ice Arena in Sapporo, Japan.

Among the additional pairings include a heavyweight contest that will wrap up the first round of the tournament. Three of the four fights in the quarterfinals have already been decided, and the fourth was to be Islambek Baktybek Uulu against Alexander Soldatkin. Instead, Soldatkin (14-4, 1 NC) will come to blows with France’s Prince Aounallah (20-12) in a three-round encounter.

Other notable new fights include Haruka Hasegawa’s organizational debut against a woman 13 years her junior in Machi Fukuda at 115 pounds. Also, Tiger Muay Thai product Viktor Kolesnik will square off with Keisuke Sasu at featherweight. In a battle of well-traveled Japanese 135-pounders, Taichi Nakajima will throw down with Kosuke Terashima. Finally, unbeaten Azerbaijani Magerram Gasanzade looks to go 2-0 under the Rizin banner against Tatsuya Ando in a featherweight contest.
