ONE: DAWN OF HEROES

You got to admit the ring looks great though. More professional than Rizin's, with much more safety, and less chance of falling out.
The country of Singapore knows how to make a modern ring. <5>

I think I prefer the ring to the cage for MMA too. Seems easier to pressure a fighter and changes the dynamic of grappling.

It may mess with Mighty Mouse a bit. A lot of the Pride guys said it was hard to adjust to a cage so I imagine if you've fought in a cage your whole career a ring will throw you off...It is a modified ring though those ropes aren't flimsy.

This ring, probably.

The one in Rizin is much more flimsy and seems to cause problems every event though.

I think you're right. Sage got KO'd pretty easily trying to move around the ring.

Don't confuse Halsey's flimsiness with the ring's flimsiness. Halsey's "performance" against Jiri was embarrassing.
 
Seems weird to hold it in a ring with so many high-profle MMA bouts but ok.

Sage got fed to the wolves lol that was quite a mismatch. Sage actually has a good double leg that should have been his gameplan....or was that a pure kickboxing match. I forget. I know he said he was going to do both.

But even in the first GIF, look how flimsy the ropes look compared to today's ring. And look at the loose rope the fighter gets his glove stuck in compared to how ONE has a cover over it today.

Its seems more sturdy. Can't say that it looks better though. Having ring-ropes by the combatants faces is just throwing me off.

I think it was MMA but Sage relied on his Karate then seemed lost moving along the ring when pressured. Nasty KO.

Those are the sturdiest ropes I have ever seen...
 
Did they just say that that girl is training out of the Lions Den?o_O
