Hopefully a better card this time. Last one started at like 8 am and was underwhelming. Big Nog showed up as a spectator though.

They had better bring O’Malley or someone like Ryan Garcia along with Asakura and his rivalries (e.g. Ren Hiramoto) since extremely few people cares Tatsuro or Rinya Nakamura in Japan market today.

Do they not know who they are? Or does the public simply not like them?

Jiri is most likely going to be main event. Many of u forgeting that he was "major star" in Rizin.

BTW iam actually more interested how UFC approaches UFC Germany which is basically confirmed event for 2026. It will be interesting to see how they approach this market. OKTAGON is planning 65-70 k attendance event there for 2026 and another "world record". Will UFC try to top them or will they book "basic" arena?

Just a normal arena, Dana has stated on numerous accounts that he hates Stadiums and one of the reasons we havent had a stadium card in several years.

I don't think they gave taira a fight with Moreno just so horiguchi could jump in line after with a win over ulanbekov.

One of them should be fighting for the title next, though, I agree there

Dong Hyun Ma beating Gomi, lol, who the fuck is Dong Hyun Ma?

Absolute black spot for me, I have no recollection of that dude whatsoever!

It sucks cuz the card they had in Rogers Centre (UFC 129: St. Pierre vs Shields in 2011) with the gigantic crowd (55,724) was amazing

Isn’t that the place “ where the competition is a little easier “ ?

UFC half asses Japan cards sadly

Yeah Taira is clearly next IMO.

Gooch should either fight Steve Erceg or have a rubber match with Asakura.

Public simply don’t know who they are unless hardcores. Just don’t have enough exposure. Only Asakura brothers have great marketing capabilities, besides that, REN Hiramoto has potential fan base I would say. (He’s a decent YouTuber and he knows you need to put your name with Asakura for whatever)

They should rethink that. Iam 100% sure that if they put Czech, Polish, German, Dutch, etc. fighters on this card. They will sold it out easily and experience best atmosphere ever.







UFC should experience little bit of true european fanatism, and this is the way...

His name was Dong Hyun Kim tbh
But since there was already a Dong Hyun Kim, he changed
