Rizin 50 Weigh-in Results: Naoki Inoue, Yuki Motoya Official for Title Fight

The Rizin 50 main event is official, as both Naoki Inoue and Yuki Motoya hit their contracted marks ahead of their bantamweight championship bout on Sunday.

Inoue tipped the scales at 134.3 pounds, while Motoya checked in at 134.2 for the headlining clash. Rizin 50 takes place at Anabuki Arena Kagawa in Kagawa, Japan and is available for free via Rizin.TV.

Elsewhere, Spike Carlyle (160.9) missed weight for his lightweight bout against Takeshi Izumi (156.5). As a result, if Carlyle wins or the bout ends in a draw, the official result will be recorded as a no contest. Additionally, the fight will begin with a point deduction for Carlyle and he will forfeit 50% of his purse.

Inoue initially bested Motoya via first-round submission at Rizin 26 in December 2020. The 27-year-old Kill Cliff FC representative is coming off a 2-0 campaign in 2024 that saw him claim the vacant 135-pound throne with a first-round stoppage of Soo Chul Kim at Rizin 48.

The 35-year-old Motoya went 3-0 in 2024, adding submission triumphs over Shinobu Ota and Sho Hiramatsu to a victory against Kyoma Akimoto that earned him a title shot. The American Top Team product has competed under the Rizin banner periodically since 2015, often alternating those appearances with fights for the Deep organization.
