Daron Cruickshank Wins Debut

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Cruickshank won his RizinFF debut in the first round by way of Soccer kicks, bringing his record to 17-8.

Who's next for Cruickshank?

Norman Parke was recently released from the UFC after going 5-4-1 with the promotion. That could be an entertaining match up for Cruickshank.

Tetsuya Yamada most recently fought and lost under the OneFC banner. His record is 15-4-2.

Shinya Aoki might be a little out of Cruickchank's league, but maybe not. Aoki isn't the best on the feet, if the fight goes to the ground though Cruickshank is getting tapped fast.

Who else would make a good match up for Cruickshank?

Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante is 19-8-1, very similar record to Cruickshank's and would love to see him fight again too.

there's a shit ton of 155'ers out there that he could face. doesn't really matter who.

That's the point of the thread though, to explore who would be next.

Isaac Vallie-Flagg (15-7-1) would be a pretty competitive match up too

Nice RIZIN debut for Cruickshank. He looked good fighting in the ring. Ring suits his style.

Shinya Aoki,
From Bellator, you could have David Rickels, Melvin Guillard, Mike Bronzoulis
I'm not too knowledgeable on Pancrase, but they could send someone.

After the fight he called out Aoki, and Aoki "accepted" by throwing a water bottle at him.

You should maybe change the thread title, a lot of people missed out on the fights last night, and might come here looking for video before they know the results.

yes, rings are amazing. my favorite part was when daron's leg got tangled through the ropes after throwing a kick, and the referee had to stop the action.

rings > all

I think Aoki takes Cruickshank by submission

Do the Aoki fight, Daron called him out and Aoki seemingly was down for it.

Souwer vs Daron would be sick too though

I would love to see the Aoki fight! Do we even know what Aoki said? Daron thanked him, but Aoki could have been saying, no you suck... the way the guy next to him was laughing... would love to get translation lol.

I'm hoping you're joking.

Whenever people talk about rule changes for the UFC or whatever, the JMMA guys are like "rings are the best". Terrible idea. Cool rings bro.

You mean Shinji Sasaki the guy he just fought?

I like that they start guys over in the middle of the ring.
