Rizin: Fights to Make for April Event

[ThunderL1ps]

I'd like to see bj peen vs matt hughes

BJ Penn is fighting in the UFC.

Probably won't happen. I believe Rena is a star there and they'll probably feed her with opponents at her own weight.
On the other hand... Thinking now... There's a slight possibility of Rena vs Satoko Shinashi this year... Small opponent... good record... only fight cans... Hmm...

Shinhashi vs Rena would be a blast though... especially if Rena KOed her. It'd make me feel better about her can crushing

Kron Gracie v John Teixeira da Conceicao

 

[Lex Bigelow]

Oh yeah I forgot about that one but u know a nostalgia fight would be cool rizin.

 

[kingcillo24]

Seems so far:

Kawajiri vs TBA
Karl Albrektsson vs TBA

 

[InfinityLens]

Suggested fight

Karl Albrektsson v Teodoras Atsoukalis

Rizin's strongest partner is Deep FC. They gave Moyota (co-main/main eventer), Wada (125 champ), and Kitaoka (155 champ) among others to Rizin for the event. Deep FC Owner Saeki and Pancrase Owner Sakai even rented out the Saitama Super Arena in 2014, so Rizin could use the arena for MMA on NYE in the future.

That's interesting, didn't know that.

Baruto vs Gabi Garcia

 

[JohnMandick]

Fedor vs CC obviously.

 

[Edwin]

Fedor vs CC obviously.

Not happening and on a random card in April much less. This is a fight they'd save for NYE.

I was joking. Though I do think you are right, that would be the fight to make for next NYE.

BTW, I think CC takes it this time around. He looks much sharper than Fedor lately.

 

[Idonaldo]

Aleksandr Emelianenko could be in the card hahahaha!

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Aleksandr Emelianenko could be in the card hahahaha!

Having Hep C and being a felon, I don't think it's gonna happen anywhere but Russia.

 

[glennrod]

Gabi vs some 125 pound dude..it actually could be good for the promotion in terms of international exposure

 

[glennrod]

Charles Bennet vs Baruto...it would be just like JR Palmer vs Donald "Yobo" Le Cruz many years ago

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Charles Bennet vs Baruto...it would be just like JR Palmer vs Donald "Yobo" Le Cruz many years ago

Bennett said that he can't ever go back to Japan now, which is unfortunate.

Waht???, is it because of the "streetfight" i just glanced at?

 

[ThunderL1ps]

I can't decipher his Instagram. But he said no more Japan.

 

[cookdaddy]

Damn, feel bad for Bennett. Was seriously bummed when I heard he wouldn't fight last event but to know he may never fight for Rizin again is a serious blow to their roster, esp for US fans.

 

[Coconutwater]

Kron Gracie v John Teixeira da Conceicao

I wish. I want Kron to fight someone other than a Japanese fighter because so far, the fights haven't been competitive.
