The year 2022 was the eighth year in the history of the Rizin Fighting Federation, a mixed martial arts promotion based in Japan.
Rizin events were broadcast through a television agreement with Fuji Television. However, due to several controversies, the promotion would be dropped by the network by May of that year. [1] [2] Rizin would since begin broadcasting on events via PPV on their new streaming service, RIZIN STREAM PASS, and various other streaming platforms in Japan. [3]
In North America and Europe, Rizin events were available via PPV on LIVENow. [4] Starting with Super Rizin & Rizin 38 in 2022, [5] [6] Integrated Sports would produce English-language PPVs of Rizin events for FITE. [7]
Nobuyuki Sakakibara announced that Rizin is planning to work in co-promotion with K-1 and RISE to hold an event headlined by between Tenshin Nasukawa and Takeru Segawa. Known as THE MATCH 2022, the event would be held on June 19, 2022.
