Rizin 10 Results: Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Ian McCall
Rizin 10 took place in Fukuoka on May 6, 2018, and its main event ended almost as soon as it began. Former UFC flyweight title challenger Kyoji Horiguchi needed only nine seconds to stop Ian McCall, turning a high-profile matchup into one of the promotion’s quickest finishes.
Horiguchi makes an immediate statement
McCall came in as a respected veteran, but Horiguchi landed the decisive punch at the opening bell and closed the bout in nine seconds. The finish extended Horiguchi’s momentum in Rizin and gave the home crowd a sudden, memorable main event. It was a striking contrast to the slower, tactical fights that often define championship-level matchups.
A busy card around the headline
The show included several familiar names and a range of styles. Kyoji Horiguchi’s win anchored the event, while Kanako Murata submitted Lanchana Green by anaconda choke in the opening bout. Across the card, Rizin continued to combine MMA matchups with the theatrical pacing and presentation that had become central to its identity.
A nine-second benchmark
Rizin 10 is remembered most clearly for the brevity of its main event.

The rest of the card provided a broader view of the promotion, but the opening punch defined the night.
