What if the UFC gave Rin Nakai what she wanted in exchange for dropping to 115?

The UFC don't want to re-sign her because she refusing so many fights since her last match with Miesha Tate.

Rin wants more fights and training in the US (but has no money).
UFC wants Rin to fight at 115.

Rin has a cult following, which could make her marketable.
Her judo is solid and with better striking, Rin could put up some exciting fights.

What if the UFC offered more fights to Rin in exchange for:
A) a nutritionist (to help bring down her weight to 115),
B) training at an elite MMA gym (Tristar, AKA, ATT, Kings MMA, Jackson's MMA)
C) Only a limited number of chances for Rin to refuse fights

The training would be for her next 1 or 2 fights.
If she shows a big improvement, she stays. Otherwise, they cut her.

I don't know how much training she needs. Not sure if 3 or 6 months is enough.
She could model for fitness magazines and companies as a part-time job in the US.

Lei'D Tapa only trained 3 months for her fight with Gabi Garcia and displayed better striking than Rin Nakai.
Even a moderate improvement in her striking would have allowed her to get a decisive victory against Leslie Smith. Oddly Rin has lots of head movement, but no striking technique.

Do you think Rin and her managers would compromise in exchange for elite training?

I can't see what is it about Rin that would make her worth that much effort by the UFC .. no hate, just saying.
 
I generally root for Japanese fighters since they don't seem to do as well in the UFC but Rin's reach is a HUGE problem for her. 60.5" is probably the tiniest reach in UFC history. You can see her really struggling to just get close enough to land a strike in her fight with Lelsie. I also have no idea about her current coaches. She'd do better at 115 but with Joanna as the champ I don't see that going much different for Rin in the end. Her grappling is cool tho I hope to see them work it out

She can't fight. Maybe she should stick to squashing bugs, or putting squid on her head, or whatever nutty stuff she is into.
 
Maybe irrational Sherdog fanboys should give up on this delusion that Rin Nakai is anywhere near the fighter they think she is. We get it, she's Japanese, and a bunch of weird fetishists have an obsession with her. But UFC-caliber, she is not.

Invicta featherweight, while on her way down to straw.
 
She is the worst all-around fighter I have ever seen in a cage.
 
What's this weird obsession sherdog has with her? She is the most masculine Asian I've ever seen, male or female, and she doesn't have amazing skills in any area.

Is it just the crazed weeaboo part of sherdog, wanting an Asian star so they can pretend anime is real?

You don't think she has talent because she's fighting way too far out of her weight class. She looks like BJ Penn fighting Machida.

I think she'd look much more talented and be marketable if she were quite a bit lighter.

"She'd LOOK more talented", LOL! And her only appeal to Sherdog fanboys is their very narrow fetish for muscular Japanese women.

This. Leslie was like 8 inches taller with a 6 inch reach advantage and isn't even a big 135er
 
If she cuts to 115 then her fans wouldn't be able to masterbate to her big muscles
 
Rin @ 115 would be her only career option in the UFC, I feel should would do very well in that division as it is not very deep, only has to worry about the top 3 imo, but...for sure she is just way too small for her current division and in the UFC she deals with the weight cutting profession, which I feel Asian fighters are still decades behind in.

Im not sure that's the case but even if it was does it really matter? The girl is 16-0 outside the UFC and her 1 of her 2 losses are to the champ. Her grappling is solid for WMMA. Let her fight a girl remotely close to her size. If she loses again cut her. What's the big deal?
 
she would have the strongest judo at strawweight. Look what Ronda managed to do with judo dominance.

Rin Nakai WSW champion 2017
 
Looks like its time to setup a Go-fund-me page

You are just a penis, and therefore your opinion is irrelevant to me.
