Nasukawa walks around at 136? That man is tiny.

Remember, Floyd looked like a giant next to him.

I just assumed he was standing on his wallet.

Thanks All The PBP ™ , Yeeew !

Fucking lol. Floyd's biggest rival, his wallet. Had to take him out quick in a fight in Japan.

Thanks for the 7a.m. wake up also

Man Gomi is having a tough night ahead of him. I was kinda hoping he'd be enjoying his life and was slamming drinks full-time now. Not fighting Tenshin of all people after almost 4 years of retirement.

Yeah...I lied about that. I slept until 1:30. Didn't go to bed until after 5. Got sent home on Monday due to covid-like symptoms, basically got a week off. Had to get tested, but the molecular test, still waiting on the results. So, this being the case, and the fact that I just got the new TV, have been playing Rockstar Games' Bully on my tablet, and got a Switch with Metroid Dread last night, I haven't been going to bed at a reasonable hour. Too much to do lol. I've barely even played Metroid, tbh. I played for like 30 mins last night. I played Punch-Out, the old 80's Nintendo game, for like 2 hours. It seems like literally paid $465 to be able to play old Nintendo games, fml...

It's a grappling event, so try the grappling sub? I don't think we'll be running anything for it otherwise.

I'll probably watch but man, Rizin has progressively gotten more and more lack luster over the years.

This NYE show definitely lost a lot of its oomph when it was stuck with basically an all-Japanese offering, with a few international fighters that live there playing along. But Shrek Sekine is on the docket, and he's an almost 50-year-old heavyweight that's just a big lug at this point, it's hardly an all-star event.

 

[23rd Century Sweetheart]

Wow this card is loaded from the start, might have to catch a break after match #6 or 7 lol, the past few years i've gotten a little too tired from watching the whole thing. I'm luckily in a relatively close timezone to Japan so this will be the perfect way to spend the day in COVID times

 

[SamboPunch]

idk who mostly anyone is but it's MMA so sounds good
