Rizin 51 is Sunday w/ the below fights w/ my picks.

What are yours?

Roberto Satoshi De Souza vs Yoshinori Horie: SOUZA by submission

Rajabali Shaidullaev vs Viktor Kolesnik: RAJABALI by tko

Danny Sabatello vs Shoko Sato: SABATELLO by tko
 
That Shaydullaev/Kolesnik fight is the only of the three that I don't agree on. I think Kolesnik is flying under the radar. Shaydullaev is a top elite prospect, and should win, but the size disparity will be interesting. Thinking Shaydullaev doesn't get the finish, this time. Shaydullaev by decision

Wow man taking the big favorites on all 3 fights... very controversial.

Shinryu/Motoya and Ougikubo/Gadzhammatov are the most interesting fights on the card.

Go make some money then man. Shaydullaev is the biggest favorite on the card, and Kolesnik is +600 on the betting line.

I think many are looking mostly into the promise of Shaydullaev, but not the promise of Kolesnik. I wasn't saying that Shaydullaev won't win, just that I don't think Kolesnik is being given his due, he's way solid. I don't know that he will he finished

Yeah Viktors no bum that’s for sure I expect a tough fight.
Still have Shaydullaev winning though 💪

It was in fact an easy fight. Viktor is good, but not a top 10 FW outside the UFC, Razhabali is at 24 one of the best talents in the sport and needs to be in the big leagues before its too late. Guys like Usman Nurmagomedov, Christian Lee, Razhabali Shaydullaev, Losene Keita, Shamil Musaev....theyre so obviously elite.

He's 24 so not exactly too late anytime soon. He can spend another year in Rizin, get a few more and then move to UFC or PFL (Hopefully not PFL). Time isnt running out on him, he's not even in his prime yet.

He can fight Mikuru next and destroy him but after that the pickings will be slim unless they let him chase LW title.

He was a career 135er pre Rizin, hes oy 5'7n 155 would be an odd decision. Yeah, I hope he ends up in the UFC, its not too late but way better to get guys at 25-28 than 30+. I think plenty ot Bantams hit their primes in their mid 20s look at Cruz, Grabrandt, Petr Yan.
 
Seems like it's a matter of time until Shayd makes an announcement to leave for the UFC. Asakura shouldn't fight him now unless the Soviet stays with rizin in his 20s.
