I thought he was supposed to defend his belt on december 17th, but i cant find any info.
Rizin's last show was a free internet stream with English commentary. All their pressers have a English translator on their Facebook page which is in all English.That's my biggest problem with the current asian MMA orgs. They really like making it difficult fpr you to find out wtf is going on.
Prime examples: ONE FC having basically identical names on all their events and not much international marketing or even infomation.
Rizin has the same problem, it's really hard to watch it if you don't have spike tv and almost all info is in japanese.
i think that someone was his career.He was suppose to fight at the event on December 17th but someone died and the cancelled the event as a result.
Now they dont have a big show until like April so it looks like he is going to get screwed over because they cant afford his salary at the smaller shows.
Na, when it's near a one fc event but if u check the card to see who is fighting and see that it has no one in it. One fc is most likely to cancel the event like how they always do. One fc is kinda retarded lolThat's my biggest problem with the current asian MMA orgs. They really like making it difficult fpr you to find out wtf is going on.

Can't he sue for breach of contract? there has to be some stipulation on how many fights a year he gets. OneFC lets this guy rot on the shelf. If I were him I'd either sue or try to buy my way out of the contract. He needs to go back to Bellator since I see WSOF folding and some of those guys going to Bellator.
yeah i kinda gave up on seeing funky ever take on solid comp. he seems content to get paid to sit out and fight in the c-levels. hey i cna'tfault the man for wanting easy money, just a shame his wrestling was never really tested.
Yeah. Such a shame too, back in '08 or whenever he was starting MMA, I remember he and DC were the most hyped prospects. Both are multiple org champs now and would both be undefeated had it not been for Jon Jones. I really think he coulda been champ tho, esp considering how legit the Bellator WW's have been revealed as since he left. It should be interesting to see how RoMac does against Lima and Koreshkov.akrens talent has been wasted so badly

But with Askren getting older and less hungry, with WME being penny pinchers, I doubt we ever see him. And if we do, I doubt he ever fights for the title.
Should've went to WSOF or fought independently in the UK, Russia, Poland, Japan, China, etc. Too bad Rizin wasn't around when he was looking for an org.
That's a interesting fight imoHe's wasting his career. Shame, would love to see him fight the top WWs.
Him vs Maia.
