Karamov is legit, will likely skip town for the West in due time. Laramie is one of the highest ranked FLWs in Canada, might be top 125er, but I can't remember. Kato is not necessarily based in Japan, and he's world known, having fought for Bellator. Looking forward to Gasanzade, the Azerbaijani. RIZIN has had numerous fighters from Azerbaijan over the last several years, and they've all looked really good.

The names they've been signing outside of Japan aren't well known in the West, but they're known in their locales and surrounding areas. Much like with Jiri, they're finding those guys who aren't necessarily on the UFC's radar and bringing them in and developing then. The last card had some really good looking foreign talent, might be worth a look.

As far as finances, they lost their TV deal and are flourishing via streaming on their own site. The crowds are large at these shows, they had 40k+ in Saitama earlier this year. They also had enough Azerbaijani talent to hold a card there, via some deal with their government. They're a hot ticket in Japan, though, definitely very popular. Asakura leaving may not help that, though. He is a legitimate star in a general sense in Japan, well known to the common citizen.

Hisaki Kato vs Tsuyoshi Sudario has a good back story.

Kato has never fought above MW/LHW and I imagine he is giving away weight here.
Remember he KO'd Joe Schilling under both MMA and KB rules.
French mother and Japanese Judoka father, born and raised in Paris, now seems to operate a gym in Nagoya and has not fought in years (he would be in his 40s now).
Ive also heard him speak english comfortably in an interview.

Sudario was a former sumo who was thrown out of the sport for some drama, then linked up with Enson Inoue for years training MMA.
He was training in the U.S for a while and Enson got locked up for 90 days in Japan for possession of chocolate laced with Mushrooms, and it appears that Sudario has distanced himself from Enson now as 'face' is a big thing in Japan.

It seems like I've heard that Sudario has been training at Couture's gym in Vegas. Might be good for him. Enson is great, and I liked that he took the young man under his wing, but Sudario still has holes to fill, and he can progress in Vegas.

Weird fight though. Looking forward to it

[wufabufa]

Tony Laramie looks awful in that picture on the fight card. Damn.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Ok, time for the real HL of the weekend. LFG

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I'ma be in here alone again

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Shaydullaev vs Kubo on NYE is lit

 

[Bobby Boulders]

RIZIN found them a genuine monster fighter for NYE. Dude looks like he's 7'0 or some shit

 

[HeLLMuTT]

[Bobby Boulders]

Man, I'm glad you're one of the good ones. I needed someone here to let know I'm pissed I forgot these cage cards start earlier than the number events. Already intermission and shits been going for like 2 1/2 hours. Could have watched this instead of Paul/Tyson 2

Dude the Paul vs Tyson fight was depressing, Mike has no legs and just couldn't move and that is what made him so deadly.

UFC wasn't too bad... I was entertained.

At least the Rizin intermission is all highlights of people getting wrecked. Love how their promotion make their fighters seem like comic super hero's.

Mike really put one over on us who wanted to see him do well. In hindsight, it's obvious. He had all over those clips he was posting, shadowboxing and showing on lightning fast hands, and it was like, ok, if he's still that with it, maybe this is a fight. But in those clips, he was standing stationary, letting his hands fly, there wasn't any movement involved. He'd have had to have Paul just walk on over to him to do anything, and Paul was smart not to. Mike's style was always dependent on a lot of fast movement, and it was apparent 15 secs in that he no longer has his legs. I wish I'd have recognized all of this prior, I really wanted him to turn back time and go out like a G. C'est la vie.

UFC underwhelmed, but the Charles/Chandler fight was high drama, and, while Ruffy didn't show out like I thought he would, he still showed glimpses of his talent, and it was still a pretty one sided fight. Llontop coming in so over the limit might have affected Ruffy's performance. Llontop gotta chin on him, was still impressed. He got cracked a bunch of time, had one eye, and was still coming forward.


Gotta try and find KSW 100 at some point. I missed it today and I love me some Khalidov. Aside from Fedor, probably the best fighter to never come to the States.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Kato at HW is wild. This is a surreal fight
