Ramen looks delicious but why the hell are they promoting an event more than 6 months away?

I presume they're treating it as they would Super RIZIN or NYE, since it is RIZIN 50. They likely have some big plans for that card.

Big announcement such as Francis Ngannou fighting Sudairo

They should have Ngannou come over and smash him anyways totally serious, plus you never know kooky krazy things happen in Japan great American fighters have been beaten in upsets before example Coleman losing to Takada which I don't think was a fix, Dave "pee wee" Herman(UFC material) getting tko'd against Choi mu bai, Liddell and Rodriguez losing in Pride etc, it happens something about Japan and the ring/ruleset ripe for upsets.


They better crown a HW champ and start a WW division in 2025, please stop recycling the same FW's, LW's every event please as it's becoming a little stale why not make a star out of Igor Tanabe and recruit some of the former Bellator fighter's who aren't active like Mix and even Nemkov show some effort no excuse, we're also due for another HW tournament like in 2015.

As far as matchups for Tanabe go, I will not be shocked if either Mousasi or Larkin show up in due time. Both are currently free agents, and both would fit right in for one reason or another, and both can fight Igor at MW. Both are hard matchups for Igor, considering his standup needs a tremendous amount of work, but, even if he loses, we already know that those situations generally endear the Japanese fighter to the Japanese crowd. Adding either or both to the roster gives RIZIN one fighter who is already very well known to the Japanese crowd, and another whose style fits right in and would probably be even more exciting under the Japanese rule set. Tanabe definitely needs some opponents, they were talking about matching him at HW, which is very unnecessary.

I agree with another thing you said, about upsets in Japan. Foreigners fighting there truly are ripe for upsets, those Japanese fighters flourish when they're fighting at home, like having a buffer in a video game.
 
Has anything bar the main event been announced for this?

It's a significant number but I wonder if it'll suffer for being between NYE and The Match 2, I could see them saving the big spectacles for those

I have a suspicion that they'll pull some worthwhile shit out for this event. They've been going hard on promoting it for months and months now, and the main event is cool, but not really warranting what you'd expect from a card they're saying is a "must see" card. They're still probably sorting some things out, but I'm sure there's something up their sleeve. If I were to guess, HWGP, as several fighters have angled for it recently. If it is a one night GP, even better

There is technically enough HW's now to do something although it wouldn't be the best roster, they need to crown a HW champ soon imo.


I think its gonna be a while before this card gets filled out it's more than 3 months away.

I have a feeling they're going to try and build up King Polo into what they wanted Sudario to be. Polo is raw, but obviously is athletic and is only 23. He wants a RIZIN HW title, so I have a feeling they'll make a GP work. Easy way to push him further, though idk if he wins at this point
