Lol, it's open weight not open gender.
Although Garcia's gender doesn't really seem to be set in stone either..

Kron Gracie vs. Hideo Tokoro
Andy Souwer vs. Daron Cruickshank
Kizaemon Saiga vs. Asen Yamamoto
Kazuyuki Fujita vs. Baruto Kaito (Grand Prix bout)
Teodoras Aukštuolis vs. Kenneth Bergh
Gabrielle Garcia vs. Destanie Yarbrough
Miyu Yamamoto vs. Rena Kubota
Kanako Murata vs. Kyra Batara
Gabi is fighting a runningback from the female pro football league here in the USA. she is 1-0 and weighs 220lbs. I still think she should fight Fujita at some point... |

Gotta say. RIZIN screwed the pooch on the match making for this one. It should have been Yamamoto Arsen vs Krazy Horse. That'll open it up to stage Kizaemon Saiga vs Kimura Minoru.   Whoever loses... we win. |

OP Updated.
With only 2 weeks to go, we only have 13 out of 16 tournament fighters.
It's uncharacteristic for a Japanese promotion to be so quiet and late with announcements.
