Rizin RIZIN: Otoko Matsuri ***Sherdog Discussion*** 5/4 12AM ET (RIZIN.TV)

I hope people understand it's a movie made my a real legit filmmaker. Benny Safdie isn't out there to do money grubbing schlock.

This is the second time you mentioned the director's name so I had to add some of his films to my watchlist on IMDB

This is the first time he's going solo that I know of for a feature film. The others were done with his brother. But if you haven't seen Uncut Gems, it's incredible. Just be prepared to be put on high anxiety for the duration. It's a great movie, but it is pure anxiety front to bottom.

Good Times is also fantastic.

Legit great film. Tense the entire way through

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Damn, had the choke and slipped off lol

 

[MiroHa]

Really impressed by Akimoto. Stuffing that takedown and landing great shots right after that plus aggressive ground game

It's an all timer for me. Not many movies have stuck with me like that one.

Yeah I added those two

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Akimoto is super slick. He fights beyond his years. 19 years old, pretty unreal

 

[DrRodentia]

This may be the best fight of the night across all cards.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Hell of a fight. Those two have a future

 

[MiroHa]

This was FOTN so far for me

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Seriously the best fight I've seen all week, from PFL to now

 

[DrRodentia]

Great fight. Kid is legit. Look forward to seeing his progress.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Hope Akimoto has designs on making MMA his life's work, bc that kid is super well rounded and has a really high fight IQ, and fights to win. He is going to be a beast in 10 years

 

[MiroHa]

Akimoto is pretty tall for 145, I would imagine he'll move up to 155 after he stops being a teenager

 

[DrRodentia]

Even after a high action great fight, I'm starting to feel the effects of fading. Good timing. Let's go.

 

[Mick Dojang]

Yeah those earpieces need to go

 

[HuskySamoan]

Really impressed by Akimoto. Stuffing that takedown and landing great shots right after that plus aggressive ground game

He's a pretty talented fighter, Japan just throws 18 year olds to the wolves and the gyms domestically are a decade+ behind so much prospects fizzle out but they country has great talent, just horrible at developing it.

They should get him training abroad STAT.

 

[DrRodentia]

Yeah those earpieces need to go

They could spring for wireless, I'm sure.

We are almost there, co-main and main are next, and the next one might be quick. Hang in there
