The kid who will beat DJ is fighting tonight

[effervesciata]

so you've never watched other combat sports.

The Japanese are only good at sissy sports.

 

[Yodsanan]

The Japanese are only good at sissy sports.

Countless boxing, kickboxing, judo world champs and olympic medals.

 

[John Wick]

OMG he punches and kicks so fast!!

 

[effervesciata]

Countless boxing, kickboxing, judo world champs and olympic medals.

Yes you're right. I'm just being silly.

 

[Whippy McGee]

Can he grapple bro?

 

[Rea_ctor]

It is a different variation of the sport. The size of the octagon, inability to cut the ring, wrestling centric rules, fighting against the cage, makes a really big difference especially for fighters with a lot of experience in JMMA.

Exactly which is why it's unrealistic to say he's the next big thing, it's a different ball park.

 

[CeasarGracies]

His accuracy is horrible. In the op i didnt see him land onepunch against invisable man

 

[Yodsanan]

 

[Yodsanan]

Said he trained MMA for 3 weeks. May fight again in 2 days.

 

[sadclown]

Sage is only 19? This kid is only 18.

RIP flyw and BW division.

If you mean prospects look great in smaller shows, then I agree... that's what all prospects look like...

 

[MuayThai101]

Thats what you call heart!

Trains MMA for 3 weeks and already he is diving into guards with zero fucks and throwing monster GnP like Fedor in his prime.

Yall thought I was playing. He's only 18. A 26 year old version of this kid, executes the entire UFC FLW squad. Book it.

 

[Dragov]

I'm on his warwagon. he made me a fan today

WARSUKAWA

 

[UhHuhSure]

Wow just saw his fight in Rizin... that kid is lethal

 

[guard_passer]

asians tend to have weak chins

 

[aokimasaru]

Japanese don't like weight cuts. They will never be dominant unless they are willing to drain 20 pounds.

 

[ikareteru]

How many Japanese fighters do you think are in the ufc? Compare that to the amount of Americans. Obviously the chance of finding a Japanese champ is more slim. It's just a matter of the stars aligning to find a superstar. This kid, I'm telling you is special. His striking at 18 is already more high level than any other Japanese mma fighter ever. He has all the time in the world to learn his grappling.

A lot of these fighters lack ambition. This kid wants the world. Just wait and see.

Still see plenty of room for improvement in hands kicks and superman punch

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Not impressed. MM or Cruz annihilate him.

Of course all time greats in their prime would annihilate an 18 year old prospect. Why do you think this is a relevant or compelling point?

 

[HwoarangStyle]

benavidez would snap his neck.

 

[Unsurprised Diaz]

He's got tremendous balls to be willing to take a fight against an invisible man

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

nowhere near as young and talented as erick silva, kid just has all the potential in the world and WILL be champ.
