Media Ryan García to Box at Rizin NYE

[GiganticMeat]

I'm just going to toss out there that he and Suzuki fight at around the same weight

Oh, that Suzuki. Sure I guess, but I figure they'd wanna stack the deck in Ryan's favor unless it's pure boxing. How good is this Suzuki fella? Interested in seeing his fight versus Pacquiao... Whatever it is

Suzuki is currently both RIZIN champ and KNOCKOUT KB champ. So that would be a huge fight for NYE, and RIZIN has no qualms about putting their champs in fights that don't favor them. Suzuki was originally Pacquiao's opponent on the card tonight, never caught why he fell out, but I'm guessing bc he's gonna take the Garcia fight and they don't want him getting KTFO twice in a row.

suzuki got injured in a boxing match against gomi and had to pull out. i'm pretty sure suzuki will be fighting pitbull soon for the bellator belt, thought they mentioned that during the rizin broadcast.

That post was a day before the announcement, I think. Garcia/Anpo will work, probably a pretty good brawl

I don't get why Rizin is even spending money on that. Do fans in Japan clamor to see Ryan Garcia???? Personally, I don't think so.

Because it's easy to promote.

Any speculation as to opponent? Freakshow MMA fight ala Mayweather vs much smaller dude?

Floyd hasn’t had any MMA fights. They were boxing exhibitions.

Yeah, it gets them the spotlight which is what they want.

Rukiya Anpo "if it's 3R, I would beat Garcia and Mayweather. If kicks were allowed? Come on, he {Garcia} won't last a minute".
