I think that's cause Kyoji is freely choosing to fight in the bigger 135 divisions where big weight cuts are allowed.

DJ is also fighting 135, but some thought because it should theoretically just be 125'ers with no weight cuts, that DJ would be facing guys closer to his size.
 
Frank Trigg will be reffing at UFC 241 tonight, so he won't be doing color commentary at Rizin. Stepping in for him will be former UFC fighter and Rizin competitor Ben Nguyen.

Damn. The traditional commentators bring me great inner peace when watching. I'm disappointed.

I don’t mind Trigg, why couldn’t Ferraro be reffing tonight
 
Joe and Frank are better than Bellator's Goldberg and Big John and Road FC guys...

Hopefully Ben Nguyen does well.

There will be only one, 25-30 minutes intermission, like the last time.

Dolphins Arena has been sold out. 7.5k venue. Dunno why Rizin didn't went to the bigger arena in Nagoya with capacity of 10k - Nippon Gaishi Hall.

Vote to call this one the "Intermission of discomfort and sweat".
