Claire Lopez is next!
Despite the MMA ban being lifted, not a lot of French talent crossed over to JMMA, hey? Cédric Doumbé is having trouble getting in the UFC, poor Ciryl Gane lost in embarrassing fashion to Jon Jones...
I guess it will take time for the elite French judokas to take MMA bouts on the side, especially in Jpaan whe
Teddy Riner might change his mind about MMA in the future, would love to see him in RIZIN against a Japanese pro-wrestler.
Loïc Pietri is another former elite that I could see stepping into the RIZIN ring, now that his Judo career at the highest level is over.
Damn right, just because Patricio lost one fight doesn't mean that he became a washed up can overnight. I mean, before that fight I would have 100% picked him over Aaron Pico.
Would be a good match-up, though
Okay, I keep seeing references to Bellator potentially folding, Imma go read about that before the next fight starts...
A rematch in the cage after losing in the ring, gee when was the last time? We got it the other way around when the Japanese Musketeer, the French-Japanese hybrid Hisaki Kato smoked Joe Schilling 2x
The second fight was kickboxing rules only, to give Joe another perceived advantage
I kinda wish Kato would come back to MMA, he's been kickboxing non-stop for the last 4 years, and he's taken a lot of damage... just come back to
Bellator/Rizin bro
