    They haven't announced the rule-set or weight class yet.

    The educated guesses are that it will be some kind of exhibition. I don't know if anything else makes sense, and I don't know how Rizin could afford the economics of Mayweather doing anything else. I also think that Mayweather would be smart enough not to do a full kicking bout with Nasukawa, who despite looking twelve is a little killer.

    Once he did a little more homework and was told he'd actually be fighting this guy, Mayweather backed out:

    Or he heard he was fighting a kickboxer named "Nasukawa" and thought he was fighting "Nuk Soo Kow."

    When I read about this I can't help but think of an old Joe Louis doing pro wrestling to pay off his IRS debt.
