So what in the wide world of weird is Japan MMA doing this year
So New Years Eve in Japan is going to be kind of interesting this year. Sadly it will not involve Bobu Sappu. It will involve a very odd...exhibition...between Floyd Mayweather vs Tenshin Nasukaewa. Basically this is the type of weird stuff holy PRIDE would try and do with Mike Tyson and odd weird combos, but nothing would ever came of it (much like AJW wanting to bring in Tonya Harding).


However on the real freak show front you have this. No grannies this time, but Gabi is well Gabi.


There are also a lot of just good matches being aired too


Due to reasons the Floyd fight will not be airing in North America on FITE TV (or Japan for that matter). Anywhere else will have the fight for $5 more, so if you got a VPN in theory that should work to order and view it, but if goofy stuff happens to you, that's on you.

When is it airing?
The FITE TV broadcast starts on December 31st at 1AM EST or December 30th at 10PM PST.

What is the full fight card?
Anyway here is the full fight card. The red part of the card will not be airing on FITE TV. It will be available on a Japanese service, that people apparently are able to get to work outside of Japan with a VPN and buying it for 3000 yen, but I have no clue how to do that. It's on GYAO! https://gyao.yahoo.co.jp/special/rizin/ This is where 3 Kickboxing matches and other prelim MMA matches will be aired. You get the red part of the card for free with your purchase. It airs on a tape delay (and has unlimited replays) and will be available Dec 31st at 12:00PM EST on FITE TV. It apparently will be a frills free broadcast with no commentary or graphics. THAT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE MAIN SHOW OF COURSE



I'm cheap and I might pass out watching this, so I don't want to spend cash, how can I get this for free?
The main card (minus Floyd) will be airing on FITE TV for $19.99 or $20 in Fite Credit. Now full disclosure this is my affiliate link. That said since you won't actually be ordering with cash, I only get a $5 credit for the signup, if you ever do I think I get an additional $10.

The affiliate signup link gives you $15 in credit. It only works once per device, but it works on other devices you've never set FITE up with. You won''t need any payment method on record. You'll get $15 in cred, and you can get the remaining credit from liking FITEs Facebook ($3) and Twitter ($2) accounts for the remaining $5 in credit.

thanks for the thread .. i want to watch this. the last rizin event i saw was last years (maybe even the year before?) new years event and it was good fun

these are some fighters i think are worth looking out for:

miyuu yamamoto who loses all of her fights but is tough and a good striker
RENA who is good
ulka sasaki who is like a 6ft tall flyweight somehow. pretty good fighter though
horiguchi

Sure thing, I figured more people might watch it with a thread outside the B-League thread. Also it might help me stay awake for the whole thing by having an active thread to chat in. Solo MMA watching always kind of sucks.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The RENA translate is amazing



Before weighing Rizin today, Rena-Chan, who had made the last adjustment, collapsed. The hormone balance was very disturbed from the two consecutive matches in July, and this time, the woman's cycle and weight loss overlap. I also got tears when I saw Rena-chan who was regretting crying though I think that only a female athlete understood. Anyway, I want 🙏 you to recover quickly.

This still more coherent then Gabi's past explanations for health related matters (well and real in RENA's case).
