Japanese MMA promotion RIZIN Fighting Championship announced that Mauro Ranallo will be calling their 4/16 event, which airs live on the FITE TV app at 2 AM EST.
Ranallo is waiting for the expiration of his WWE deal this August obviously, but that deal allowed him to continue taking assignments outside the company. He will be returning to Showtime Boxing on their 4/22 broadcast.
Ranallo and WWE have removed references to each other on their social media. On this week's episode of Total Divas, Ranallo was shown but referenced via a graphic as simply "announcer."
