Overview
- The bout is scheduled as the main event of Super RIZIN 5 at Kyocera Dome Osaka on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2026, with both the RIZIN featherweight belt and the vacant inaugural PFL featherweight title at stake.
- U.S. viewers can stream the full card on Rizin.tv with the platform’s pay-per-view and premium subscription starting at 12 a.m. ET and watch the headline fight free on the PFL’s YouTube feed beginning at 6:30 a.m. ET according to published schedules.
- Razhabali Shaydullaev is a 25-year-old Kyrgyz champion who has compiled a 19-0 record with a reported 100% finish rate and a recent run of knockouts after an early career heavy on submissions.
- A.J. McKee is a former Bellator featherweight champion with a 25-2 record who has never been finished and arrives on a three-fight winning streak, making him Shaydullaev’s toughest test to date.
- The fight doubles as a test of cross-promotional reach because the winner will leave Osaka with two belts, a result that could boost Shaydullaev’s global profile and deepen cooperation between RIZIN and the PFL while drawing more U.S. attention to Asia-based fighters.
