[TITS]

How come there's so many bumfights on this card? I'm not gonna be able to suffer through them all and the intermissions of death.

 

[STAY GOLD]

This a good card on paper.

So here's the scoop about Archuleta (heavy) vs. Asakura.

If Archuleta wins, the title is vacant and it's a no contest.
If Asakura wins, he wins the title.

Also, they have to weigh no more than 150 pounds an hour before the fight, or it's off.

Nah, there’s some good fights — namely Motoya/Morales, Ogikubo/Dodson, Archuleta/Kai and Kyoji/Makoto II, plus we get Ota, Sudario and Miyuu.

The weight miss win turned into a NC is the usual JMMA call. I’m not a fan of it, but it’s happened previously.

There's no real New Year without some japanese MMA.

 

[TXstriker]

Oh damn, I hope he makes weight and is healthy. Thanks for the info.

He’s not but says he’s fighting anyways.

 

[don't ask]

Is it racist if I say I'm looking forward to all the dancing Asians tonight?



They know how to make events fun!

Kleber Koike did it before at Rizin

 

[Xuh]

Gomi Jr. will win because he has blond hair (best base for RIZIN)

 

[wufabufa]

Too damn late for my old ass these days, boys.

Enjoy the fights. Happy New Year!

the prelims are live on youtube with japanese commentary btw

Not sure how I feel about that.

It happened to Mizuki Inoue as well years ago in a DEEP JEWELS card. Except Mizuki won the fight and the result was overturned to a disqualification win to her opponent for the weight miss.

Best base for existence, imo.

Japan doesn't tolerate fatties

 

[don't ask]

Welp, my rice is undercooked, but I'm going to eat it anyways. Hopefully I don't explode or something.

This guy needs to learn when to stop holding on to your opponent.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Joe looks pretty good so far, especially for it being his debut. His stand up is alright, his ground control needs some work. That knee he landed on the ground near the end of the round was a smart move. He’s winning the fight.

 

[don't ask]

Damn! Knockdown, then upkick! That could have been epic.
