Overview
- Danny Sabatello knocked out DEEP champion Jinnosuke Kashimura with a right hook at 0:40 of round three to retain the RIZIN bantamweight title.
- The fight featured early takedown and submission hunting from Kashimura before exchanges on the feet produced the finish and a post‑knockdown flying double stomp by Sabatello.
- After the win Sabatello dedicated the performance to Mr. Sakakibara and Hiroshima, said he aims for four title defenses in a year, and indicated he plans to fight again in September.
- RIZIN Landmark 15 in Hiroshima combined standard MMA, special‑rules fights and amateur bouts and included names such as Saori Oshima, Moeri Suda and Genji Umeno on the card.
- Sabatello’s victory builds on his run since joining RIZIN and his prior wins over UFC opponents, while Kashimura’s DEEP title run and grappling game mark him as a rising domestic challenger to watch.
