RIZIN 16 took place June 2nd from Kobe Memorial Hall in Kobe, Japan. In women's action, Atomweight Champion Ayaka Hamasaki won the battle of champions when she took a decision from Invicta FC Atomweight Champion Jinh Yu Frey. Frey won the first two rounds as both fighters were cautious but Frey was more effective. However round three saw Hamasaki get the takedown and dominate from the top. As RIZIN scores MMA fights as a whole instead of the round by round scoring we see in America, it was enough for Hamasaki to take the win. Also Miyuu Yamamoto got a huge win upsetting Kanna Asakura. Both fighters had moments and after two it was close. Round three saw Yamamoto take over as most of the round was on the ground with Yamamoto landing good shots while avoiding submission attempts.
