News RIZIN 21 Mikuru Asakura vs Daniel Salas Set for February 22 2020 in Hamamatsu Arena

[TeamFedor]

So far, it's on a par with Rizin 12 for the worst Rizin event. It's not the whole card though, 5 more fights remain to be added. The kickboxing part is really bad and makes the card look worse than it is. There are some good matchups - Henry/Kanehara, Inoue/Girdham, Keryamov/Aguon, Kintaro/Kato.

 

[TeamFedor]

If they don’t have the extra $$$, keep doing 5-6 good shows a year and don’t burn $ with this weak card.

I don't believe they will burn money with this event. What Rizin does really well is to sell tickets. Mikuru Asakura is the only expensive fighter on this card. If Rizin sells 5-6k+ tickets for Rizin 21, the live gate will probably exceed the fighters salaries.

 

[Vulcan]

well they said 4 to 5 more fights, probably 3 more

You know he's fighting a can when the other dude is barely worth putting on the poster.

Worst Rizin card to date.

I would say so. I looked back to verify and I think this is the worst.

This is just a small event i believe, the bigger one will come this spring

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

From being hailed as the ressurection of PRIDE, to being worse than DREAM ever was.

Peoples expectations here are way too high. Not every card can be a banger.
Rizin is looking for stability and at this moment a smaller card like this with Asakura headling could actually be a good thing for them.

 

[lukeuidswords]

Coming off the heels of the best JMMA event in over a decade to have their quickest event turnaround yet - you’d think fans would have more understanding

I really don't think so. This card just appears to be below many of our very forgiving standards.
