Jiri, Asakura and Kape shouldn't leave Rizin.
Rizin is getting better now.

They didnt have opponents for Jiri. They were trying everything to do Cro-cop vs Jiri, but Cro-cop's managment didnt like that idea. So Jiri went to UFC...
 
It seems Izawa hasn't faced a real test. I don't know about her opponent but 3 wins should not qualify her to challenge the world champion.

The easiest way to gain world recognition would be fighting quality opponents like Zhang and defeating them .

Izawa's had the elitist history in both judo and freestyle wrestling. She's got her master degree from a prestigious public university and she's got her own gym that she runs with the love of her life. Her life is filled with successes and peaking now. I'm sure she wants a legend status more than anything else.

It’s why she keeps talking about RENA even though she’s now refusing to face her. Meanwhile, RENA won’t even mention Izawa by name, because she won[t give Izawa the shine she seeks

Izawa beat Hamasaki a long time ago and that was the highest point she reached in her career. Rena still isn't irrelevant but realistically, how much would it mean to give today's Rena a loss?

The way Izawa has shown dominance in Rizin is very impressive and rare. She deserves an internationally promoted opportunity while undefeated.

RENA is far more popular than Izawa. Hamasaki is a well respected fighter, but she was never a star, so Izawa never got any rub from beating her. Kanna Asakura became the star she was from beating RENA. Izawa wants to get that same rub.

Becoming popular in Japan isn’t just about beating opponents, or beating international opponents. It takes the right formula, which Izawa is trying to emulate, but has so far failed in succeeding.

Rena might have been an iconic figure sometime around 2012-2016 before Asakura brothers took off. What future would be guaranteed for Izawa after beating her now?

I see Kate lotus getting popularity because of her looks and charisma.

What do Asakura brothers have to do with the women’s divisions? NOTHING. RENA is still the biggest name currently on the RIZIN women’s roster.

It’s not hard to understand.multiple accounts of people who live in Japan, or follow the scene closely can point to what Izawa is attempting. Same reason she fought Kanna Asakura. Was trying to get the rub from Kanna.

The way Izawa and her husband started approaching JTT and Asakura brothers last year showed how struggled they were in terms of promoting Izawa.

Fighting and defeating Rena won't be adding too much to her profile because we all know she has long surpassed Rena as a fighter.
