Here are the results for RIZIN 31, which saw the promotion’s featherweight title change hands.

Juntaro Ushiku secured the belt in the card’s headliner, after doctors ruled Yutaka Saito could not continue in round three, due to a large cut he incurred from a flying knee.

Ushiku moved his record to 17-6 with the win, while Saito’s fell to 20-4-2.

Sunday’s event took place in Yokohama, Japan.
