Rizin 47 Weigh-in Results: Horiguchi vs. Pettis Official; Case Comes in Heavy

The bantamweight headliner for Rizin 47 is now official, as both Kyoji Horiguchi and Sergio Pettis hit their contracted marks at weigh-ins.

Horiguchi tipped the scales at 133.9 pounds, while Sergio Pettis checked in at 134 pounds. It wasn’t smooth sailing for everyone on the card, however. UFC veteran Johnny Case weighed 158.7 pounds for his clash with Noah Bey (156.4). Since he missed weight by 2.2 pounds, he is not eligible for victory, per Rizin rules. As a result, if Bey loses or the bout is a draw, the fight will be recorded as a no contest. Additionally, Case will began the bout with a one-point deduction.

Rizin 47 takes place at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo on Sunday and will also see Kleber Koike Erbst (145.5) square off against Juan Archuleta (145.5) in the featherweight co-main event.

Horiguchi and Pettis initially met as part of the bantamweight grand prix at Bellator 272, with Pettis earning a fourth-round knockout victory via spinning backfist in December 2021. Horiguchi is currently unbeaten in his last four outings and is coming off a second-round submission of Makoto Takahashi at Rizin 45. Pettis, meanwhile, had a six-bout winning streak snapped in his last outing at Bellator 301, when he relinquished his 135-pound belt in a submission loss to Patrick Mix this past November.
