Rizin 26 – Saitama

[PuertoRican]

Rizin 26 starts on WEDNESDAY in America, which means it starts on THURSDAY in Europe and Asia.

The Gomi vs. Kouzi fight is punching only. No kicks and no ground game, which means someone is definitely getting knocked out.

I don't see Rizin lines on the William Hill app. Where did you see them?

Kyoji/Kai right now is practically even. This is insane. Kyoji should be minimum -200.

A while ago but Kai knocked him out last time, also been a lay off for Kyoi due to injury.

Anyone happen to have an extra ticket?

Okay?

Kai's win over Kape was controversial, and he got dominated by Kape on NYE. That version of Kai loses more than 50% of the time to Horiguchi.

You dont think Kai murking him or the long lay off due to injury holds any merit?

Kai caught him. It was a short fight. It's not like Kai dominated him for 15 minutes.

Kyoji's been out for less than 18 months. It's not that long in the fight world between fights.

Betsafe has more lines now

Minowa big underdog despite over 100+ fight experience. The 1-0 guy any good?

Minowaman vs. Tsuyoshi Sudario is a freak show fight.

• Minowaman hasn't fought for 18 months.
• Minowaman is 44-years-old.
• Sudario is 23-years-old.
• Minowaman weighed 182 pounds, Sudario weighed 252 pounds.
• Minowaman (62-43-8) is well-known for his freak show fights, and is nicknamed "The Giant Killer" for a reason.
• Sudario (1-0) has a sumo wrestling background.
• It has been 7 years since Minowaman competed in a New Year's Eve (NYE) card.
• Minowaman won his last 2 NYE fights, and is 4-1 in his last 5 NYE fights. If you go back any further, you will see he lost several NYE fights because he was fighting elite competition at the time. Lately, he is more of a freak show fighter.

Depending on what the odds are on Minowaman, I would take him as an underdog here.

Interesting pick. Why did you decide to take Asakura over Horiguchi?

Kai Asakura has a bigger frame, taller + longer, hits hard + has a good chin, younger, he has had 4 fights during the time Horiguchi has been away for 16+ months due to injury, is the current champion, and has the confidence coming into this fight.

Whether Kai wins or loses, he shouldn't be a dog pre-fight. People backing Horiguchi act like the first fight never happened, and that it has no bearing on the rematch, when in reality those same people would be hyping up Horiguchi in this rematch if he was the one who won the first fight.

If Horiguchi wins, his backers will think they got a generous line on him. If Horiguchi loses, his backers will say he's rusty, washed up, and/or the layoff of 16+ months was the reason he lost.

Minowaman vs. Sudario = nobody did anything for 4 minutes, aside from the 3 or 4 calf kicks that landed on Minowaman that made him fall to the ground and lose.

NEXT...

 

[PuertoRican]

Kuramoto with those tiny legs, but he threw enough head kicks to win the match.

It was clear who was going to win within the first 10 second of the fight, as the other guy was taller and came out with a sideways Karate stance and stood in one spot while Kuramoto was moving around.

Shibatar vs. Mr. X

Mr. X ended up being some random guy named Hiroya.

No creativity.

Minowa has done enough in his career. He deserves a peaceful retirement, resting on his well-earned laurels.

True.

Dude probably needed the paycheck.
