Will this be available on Fitetv, I haven't seen it on there?

 

[MMALOPEZ]

It's streaming on Fanmio for $49.99.

Not sure if the entire card will be streamed on there or not, but from what they've announced -- the boxing exhibitions, Takakenshin vs. Edokpolo and Makoto vs. Shorty Torres will be streamed on there.

Wow … pricey for a Japanese show …

When I first read it I thought it was going to be Zuluzhino vs Horiguchi and I was thinking "oh god here we go again"

The past few were free but not sure about this one

I've been saying for years that they're trying to build a rock solid fanbase at home, and they're merely planting seeds here and there for the international viewers. They'd have never survived if they couldn't grab their home audience, and it appears that they have. They need to maintain it. But when Mayweather is on the card, the media in the States grabs it, and their name reaches a little bit further, and it will be the same with Garcia. I've already been seeing stuff all over the place about him being on NYE. I imagine when Pacquiao fought Anpo, the Asian media was on it, and it furthered the reach of RIZIN's name, which is beautiful, bc a lot of those places are same timezone or within a few hours. Holding the card in the Caspian, creating their own platform so anyone anywhere can watch, giving away cards for free to international viewers... They're not making huge gambles on the international fans anymore, they're playing the long game, and they're super smart about it. It may be when I'm old enough to be a grandfather, but I expect that they'll eventually be an international player again, they're just going to continue planting the seeds until then.

Having said that, I think they're consciously getting the pieces in place to make Rizin internationally successful when the time comes to expand. Hiring Schiavello for example, as the previous English commentary sucked.

They're just starting to court some of the hardcore western crowd now so it's interesting to see what it will become in like 2-3 years

Genji Umeno making MMA rule debut? His Muay Thai career was awesome, I hope he prepares well for this one.

Unless this is on fitetv for its usual price I won't be bothering with this, $50 for this lol what a joke.

As far as I know they haven't had a card on Fite for over a year now

Well the Garcia undercard was supposed to start airing at 6pt/9et in the US but no idea what happens now if Fanmio is still hosting or they just start as normal even if a replacement fighter isn't found. On Tapology it lists the 2nd portion starting at 9pm pt in US on 12/30

I went on Rizin site and they're showing the NYE event for $14.99 what happened to this costing $49.99 I think I will order this, unless there's something I don't know like a promo code or something that sounds legit to me.

I went there is well and saw that, don't you have to sub to Rizin.TV to get that price?

Thanks that's probably why the price is low.
