RIZIN featherweight champion Razhabali Shaidulloev will fight AJ McKee in the main event of Super RIZIN 5, scheduled for Sept. 10 in Osaka, Japan, with the vacant PFL 145-pound title will also be on the line.

Shaidulloev (19-0) captured and then defended the RIZIN title three times in a span of 11 months, finishing Kleber Koike, Viktor Kolesnik, Mikuru Asakura and Yuta Kubo all in the first round. The 25-year-old talent never went past the second round in his entire MMA career, stopping all but one

Super RIZIN 5 will also feature former lightweight champion Roberto Satoshi taking on Shunta Nomura, while Japanese stars Mikuru Asakura and Shinya Aoki clash in a lightweight showdown.
