No Baruto in Rizin 1??

[norsuu]

Baruto vs ''Bear'' Barnett would be an interesting fight....but baruto is not in the card and barnett will fight sidellnikov..

 

[qw3rty]

yeah I'm calling for this fight too, maybe after Barnett wins his fight on this card, it could happens

 

[Edwin]

Baruto's not ready for a step up in competition like that yet.

 

[NHB7]

That would be a big step. And is he really serious about MMA? If so, one would think he would be on this card.

 

[glennrod]

A shame..literally every fight card is improved by the presence of a giant or a big belly fellow

 

[Necrocrawler]

Well, i think baby fedor vs huggy bear is quite interesting.

 

[DrGlaze]

It's too soon to have Baruto fight someone like Huggy Bear. I think Bob Sapp or the original Le Banner match is the way to go. Get the guy comfortable before you throw him someone too tough.

I'm good with LeBanner. Sapp doesn't fight anymore he just gives up. James McSweeney would be okay too.

Baruto would destroy Mcsweeney, he isn't a big HW and has pretty shit wrestling. At least Lebanner has a bit of mass to him, I'd like to see him vs Sapp, Sapp look like he actuallly tried in his last fight and it would be interesting to see Baruto fight someone who he doesn't outweigh terribly.

 

[PIT FIGHTER]

Can they afford him?

No way!!!!!! I'm very dissapointed.

It's likely due to the UFC contract offers he's fielding right now.​

 

[WarKO]

Is this for real?

What is this supposed to accomplish... Teach you to fight in the shower?

Baruto would destroy Sapp. Pretty much anybody but invalid Akeebono would but Baruto is legit aggressive, strong, and not afraid to get hit.

He was also a national Judo Champ, guy make look funny but isn't a joke.

Would be McSweeney's 2nd loss via smother.

I know, never said he was. Baruto is very legit..I was impressed by his cardio for such a fat guy, I don't think I've seen someone look so out of shape, but maintain relatively good fitness.

He neutralized a champion kickboxer and ate his shots like he was enjoying Chankonabe.

Not at all afraid of getting hit like Brock, kept coming forward. Sumo does utilize slaps and some hits you know so he doesn't flinch just brings the aggression.

He stuck to a very good plan for what he could do and his opponent and had a great sense of positioning... in the Octagon he'd have an even bigger advantage.

He'd be the largest, by far, in the UFC outweighing Sylvia and taller than Struve.

I think if he could make the weight cut and keep that sudden fast-twich Sumo attacks he could be UFC champ.​
