For reference, one of these fighters is 52, hasn't fought since 2000, and is now a legislator

The other is 21 years younger, 7 inches taller, and 80 pounds heavier

I'm a fan of Shinobu Kandori so tonight I'm gonna be wishing on every star I see for anime to become real life before the match starts because hooooooooo boy

e: I think that even Nobuhiko Takada realizes this is morally irresponsible

Shinobu Kandori had a couple of fights against a 300 lb Russian woman 20 years ago so the New Year's eve freakshow fight jitters should not be a factor, Joe.

I guess Rizin just(?) announced veteran pro wrestler/judoka Shinobu Kandori vs. Gabi Garcia for the New Years Eve show.


they already call Kandori "the Strongest Man in Women's Wrestling" so I'm afraid the jokes have already been made

Should be reasonably competitive

Kazuyuki Miyata vs Andy Souwer and Satoru Kitaoka vs Daron Cruickshank were also announced. Souwer is going to get suplexed a billion times and it might be a fun time. Kitaoka is going to loving die if he doesn't get a sub in his 2 minutes of gas. Like he's actually going to get stomped to death.

But no Takeru and another god awful Womandrei The Giant fight are major downers

3 years after losing his retirement fight in his own vanity promotion hayato sakurai is back at 41 years old to fight a pro wrestler

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Fun and good b-leaguer who has been training with mighty mouse for like a decade. Unfortunately, he's 36 and slowing down and is maybe three fights from being finished by someone no one has ever heard of and being always bad.

She was using a legal, if not technical, escape (pressing on her opponent's face with her foot) which the ref told her was illegal, while she was in the armbar.

The referee incorrectly told her to move from a position that was legal (pressing against her opponent's face with her foot), which she was using to try to get out of the armbar. When she moved as directed, that arguably allowed the Russian girl to sink in the armbar deeper.

She was defending it and was then told she wasn't allowed defend it like that even though she was not breaking any rules. A lovely situation all around.

Didn't CABMMA overturn one early this year with Drew Dober in Brazil? The referee stopped it because the Brazillian lad claimed Dober was unconscious or whatever.
