I'm still gotten to that I fell asleep right around the time of the Izawa/Shin fight. Spent the afternoon watching the rest of the card.

Wishing Masanori Kanehara a happy retirement. Even though he was eventually finished in the 3rd, he didn't look half bad for a 42 year old fighter of over 20 years. Ya Man always brings it, and fights like a true warrior.

While Patricky Pittbull is genuinely past it, I was impressed with the way Nomura beat him. Nomura is the Deep champion, and if he manages to show out against Satoshi in their eventual RIZIN LW title fight, it kinda cements Nomura being on the level. Patricky needs to consider hanging them up. I know RIZIN wanted to get him in there against Satoshi, bc their teams already have a bit of a rivalry, but Pitbull was a literal punching bag last night, and he's well past it.

Mikuru seemed more confident in the second fight with Kleber. He did a great job of defensively grappling, Kleber having submitted him the first time they fought. Kleber is a good win for Mikuru, Kleber still looks game. Unless Shaydullaev takes off for the UFC, idk if Mikuru can win the belt, even with the considerable progress he's made. I'm not convinced he could beat Kolesnik, either, though I'd guess his odds would be a lot better. Shaydullaev, though? Based on what I've actually seen him do, and considering who against, I think he is legitimately special, and believe he's among the very elite of the world. Aside from catching him with a big punch, I don't think Mikuru can beat him.

Nice assessment of this event I'm late commenting because the thing was almost 9 hours long. Kanehara was winning until he gassed, it's really too bad because he put so much into the td's and the gameplan was working even landed some decent strikes from the top position, by the time the 3rd came around he had nothing left for cardio or stamina and Ya man didn't really either as he was almost spent unfortunately for Kanehara his opponent had that extra little left and that made all the difference.

The HW matches went about the way I thought they would, everyone I wanted to win not only in those fights lost on this card.
I just knew that Ueda wouldn't pull the trigger and get mauled, I think Soldatkin has what it takes to beat Bader if he happens to make it to the finals, Samociuk and Augusto I fealt Jose with his hands could have won this but it seems that he faded later on in the fight, Marek is probably the most well rounded of the entire crop of HW's in this tourny but for some reason I feel Soldatkin could just overpower and use brute force to take it.

Yes it's painfully obvious Pitbull is past it at this point, Nomura is very sharp with his strikes he looked amazing with his timing and aggression not to sure how good his ground is against the better fighters in the division but his hands are serious.

I'm gonna say that Yuki Ito wins the FW GP the guy is vicious and aggressive I could be wrong here as he for sure isn't the favorite to win.

Main event I thought the decision correct, if there was an opening 10 minute round I feel overall jiu jitsu based fighters would do a lot better if that was brought back, in 5 minutes you don't have enough time to work your game that's why Vale Tudo rules were in Brazil back in the day because these fighters need time.

I think I liked this event a little more than the previous one.
