[Bobby Boulders]

Elliot Compton?

 

[Mick Dojang]

Loving the music so far

Not sure if that's the Rizin theme playing in the arena but it's great. A few entrance bangers so far as well

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Ayyyyyy

Let's go Kim!

The song with the violins and horns is the RIZIN theme

 

[MiroHa]

Was that Kawajiri in the Japanese commentator booth?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Ota works is record with groups of "loss, win, win," so he wins this fight and loses the next

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Was that Kawajiri in the Japanese commentator booth?

I saw TK, idk about Kawajiri, but I've seen him there before

 

[Mick Dojang]

What's the deal with this match being bare knuckle? Is there a reason they're doing it for this round?

 

[MiroHa]

I saw TK, idk about Kawajiri, but I've seen him there before

Yeah, I think TK is a regular (play-by-play?) commentator.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Conor buys into BKFC, Conor works for UFC, BKFC guy recently met with Dana, Sakakibara recently met with Dana, and RIZIN co-promoting/fighter sharing with BKFC. That about it?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I feel like they've gotta be pushing this BK fight bc they feel like this dude can fight. Idk why else they're suddenly in the business

 

[MiroHa]

Martinez has T-Rex hands

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Martinez looks like he trains at TAM

 

[Bobby Boulders]

That was quick

 

[Mick Dojang]

Shinotsuka earned the bean bag, he ate a big shot right on the chin and just kept on banging

 

[Bobby Boulders]

RIZIN trying to make that guy their O'Malley

 

[Bobby Boulders]

This is a decent matchup. I expect Kolesnik to win, but I expect a fight

 

[Mick Dojang]

RIZIN trying to make that guy their O'Malley

He's entertaining, I'll give them that. I appreciate them pushing someone with a unique look, UFC can look a bit bland sometimes

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Nakahara fought in ONE prior to RIZIN. His only losses since 2015 were the champ, Suzuki, and Garry Tonon.

"All they can see is what happens..." lol
