Super RIZIN 5: Shaidullaev wins dual featherweight titles

Overview

The Super RIZIN 5 event at Kyocera Dome Osaka concluded with Razhabali Shaidullaev defeating A.J. McKee via unanimous decision. Shaidullaev, a featherweight champion from Kyrgyzstan with a 19-0 professional record, controlled the five-round contest to earn a clean sweep on the judges' scorecards. The victory marks the first professional loss for McKee, a former Bellator titleholder.

Through this win, Shaidullaev secured both the RIZIN featherweight championship and the inaugural PFL featherweight title. Following the bout, Shaidullaev signed a two-year deal with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP)—an entity formed by the merger of Jake Paul’s MVP and the PFL—which is scheduled to begin in 2027.

Shaidullaev is now expected to defend his RIZIN championship against Kyoma Akimoto on New Year’s Eve. The event also featured matchups including Mikuru Asakura versus Shinya Aoki and Rena Kubota versus Natalia Kuziutina.
