MMA Fighting reports that Tatsuya Kawajiri has signed a deal with RIZIN FF. His debut date hasn’t been confirmed, but he’s expected to fight at one of the promotion’s shows on December 29 or 31. He asked for his UFC release earlier this month and it was granted. He had a 3-3 record in the UFC but lost his last two fights, most recently to Cub Swanson via unanimous decision in August. He has a 35-10-2 record and debuted in April 2000. He hasn’t fought in Japan since 2012 but previously competed in Shooto, PRIDE FC and DREAM.
