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

I was thinking precisely that is it going to do any justice to the Smashing Machine since it's one of the best sports documentaries I've seen
Probably my second favorite documentary (When We Were Kings). Having been young when Kerr came along, and looking at him like one would a superhero, it really got me in my feels to see the struggle he went through. I kinda got some feels the first time I watched the trailer for the film. I rarely go to the theater anymore, I may go for this. I think they're giving Kerr, and PRIDE, their flowers
 
Well between the UFC card overall and the Canelo fight, the combat sports fan in me was feeling pretty dejected. This card has been a nice breath of fresh air.
 
Speaking of the Kerr movie, and the fact The Rock generally does big numbers, wonder if it will spark interest in JMMA again? Or if it will get it into people's minds that PRIDE rules are the shit and Unified Rules are watered down pussy shit? Would love to see the day when we get international rules across the board. We've seen RIZIN rules in a cage, no one is dying

It somehow never really occured to me how many eyes are going to be brought to this movie on account of The Rock starring. I can guarantee it's going to be weirder that most are expecting, even with the trailer out.
 
I just checked that Smashing Machine trailer and holy shit, if I hadn't known I wouldn't have guessed that it's The Rock playing Kerr

Also nice to see that it's actual PRIDE they are using in the movie instead of generic MMA tournament in Japan
 
Yup, only company nowadays i'll pay money to see lol.. I really need to get out there for a NYE card or something
I always buy their cards (unless they're handing out freebies). I will throw money at some other orgs, I bought the KSW card last weekend, but I will never pay for the UFC. $20 is a great price for what ultimately is a way more entertaining card. You spend $80 on that UFC card and can potentially watch five snoozers. If RIZIN holds on pricing, I will buy every single one

Yeah $20 the price point where its clearly worth it, I don't have to consider it

For $80 it would want to be an absolute banger though
 
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.
A24 doesn't generally release bullshit films, either, pretty much every film I've seen with their name on it is money. Emily Blunt is Oscar level actress, too. Could end up being an unlikely turning point for MMA, a lot of legit, known names linked to it. Best case scenario, we get more buds in here for PBPs
