Rizin

[edit]

Kimura made his Rizin return at Rizin 43 – Sapporo on June 24, 2023 against Daryl Lokoku, knocking him out with a left hook in the first round.[59] However subsequently it was revealed that Kimura himself had requested to be tested for anabolic steroids and the results to be publicly announced.
