News Rizin 28 & 29 Discussion Thread

Name value doesnt dictate quality, in-ring product does.

Same thing was said about RIZIN.27 and the card turned out to be a banger.
I see your point but sooner or later name value must matter.
Rizin was somewhat built on that if you hsve followed them.
 
Shiratori and Umeno are great pulls for this. I expect Shiratori should walk through this but his career could do with a boost. hope Kouzi at least makes the final in his hometown.
 
Weird They announce an event with no participants yet

these are generally fun to watch
 
May 30th:
One night kickboxing tournament is the highlight.

The May cards poor quality is partially being camouflaged because the fights are apart of tournaments. Really though there is no standout matchups.

June 13th looks promising though.

Musayev and Karamov are in play for the show, but dependent on Japan's state of emergency, if it's extended near to June 13 then they wont be able to get into the country
 
Does this more or less confirm that Horiguchi's next stop is Bellator?
 
Shutdown has been extended so it's not looking good for either of these cards now. Still haven't seen K-1 make an announcement on their event at Ota Ward later this month, so I guess there's still a small possibility we'll go without more postponements.

Sakakibara has dug in and said the Tokyo Dome show is happening June 13 no matter what, even without a crowd. The Osaka show is apparently delayed until June 27, but thats not official yet
