Rizin FF 45 NYE Horiguchi vs Shinryu

Im assuming there will be no Bellator crossover, right?
Sakakibara met with Coker at the last event, I assume they discussed it. It might depend on the PFL purchase being closed. If PFL was smart, they would allow the crossover to go forward. Not like they have a presence in Japan anyway

I've told you RIZIN is becoming PFL Japan

If they somehow manage to slap together that Mayweather/Pacquiao fight for NYE, they're definitely expanding their international reach, giving people in the West a reason to watch. I'm not going to hold my breath, but I like what they're doing.

Nothing at the moment … I don’t expect anything Bellator related after November … if there is a sale that company would absorb everything and I don’t see any co promotions if PFL is the buyer

Supposedly Bellator is gonna continue running for two years at least after the purchase
 
On whatever platform PFL is gonna be on
We don’t even know if they’re buying it … it’s just guessing at this moment what will happen with Bellator … but Bellator as we know it is done in November …

The sale is 100% happening, don't want to reveal how I know, but it's done
 
So, its definitely PFL? No chance its someone else?
Yes PFL for sure, why run it for 2 years, who knows, probably to run out the contracts of guys that don't want to fight in PFL, convince the others to join PFL or have them sitting on the sidelines otherwise, use their international rights.

Makes no sense, they can just cut anyone they dont need and keep the ones they want. They dont need to run it for 2 more years, particularly re-signing the good fighters to the Bellator brand rather than moving them to PFL. Also, having a shit PPV when they had already admitted that they were not ready for that, especially without any Bellator fighters to at least promote a cross-promotion event.

I guess I was hoping for someone else to take Bellator but PFL will undoubtedly fuck it up.

They do as DAZN is in Japan.
