So it's that time of year again for Japanese New Years Eve MMA! Time for the wonderful mix of high quality MMA, Kickboxing, Weirdo Rulesets, and FREAK SHOW Bouts, that make Japan MMA a wonderful and glorious thing.

It starts 12:00 AM EST December 31st.

So this year for English commentary, a live feed, and VOD, you have to use Live-Now. It seems to be an Aussie/NZ/Emu area based company. Sadly unlike Fite.TV there is no referral system to game free credits out of (RIP), but the good news is it's only $24.99, which plus or minus $5 is what Fite would charge. I think Commonwealth countries are paying like 5-7 more in NZD/Canadian Tire/AUD.

Here is the card and honestly I'm sorry I can't put in more effort. If someone wants to do a write up of the card itself, I'll gladly post it here. The main should be a great fight AND we have Minowaman fighting an rear end in a top hat ex-sumo who, among other things, beat the poo poo out of his elderly stable master. Hopefully Minowaman beats his rear end stupid. Sadly that's the only freak show we get...Gabi must be busy this year. Also it's going to be long and filled with awkward intermissions. But we all knew that already. It does appear Live Now is splitting it up, so as to remove dead chunks for rewatches.

We can also setup a discord for chat if that’s easier.

Yeah I have to say they’ve done a decent job of making things accessible for western fans. It’s a good continuation of the hype videos Pride used to do, but with a lot more detail and length. Honestly a great way to prepare for an event, with even minimal knowledge beforehand.

Also these interviews with the fighters have English translators or many speaking English, since it’s SCMP, which is the HK(PRC) market.

I think there is a way to watch this event with friends. I have no clue how that works with live now, but perhaps there is a way for all of us to watch this on the cheap.

Is there any reason why some of the matches allow elbows and don't?

I forgot why, well beyond, just that Rizin has a couple of different rule styles. Perhaps some they don’t want elbows to the heads, for PR reasons for some matches? Honestly I just don’t know.

Rizin rules exclude elbows to the head due to cuts. So those fights are an exception to the rules. I don't really know why each fight has different rules but that's at least the rules difference.

That’s the spirit! I’ll be surprised if I get into the second block. I should mention I saw something on Sherdog saying VOD is 7 days, but I haven’t seen that anywhere else. :iiam:

I have to say there is a lot more poo poo talking in Rizin Confessions then I remember from even a few years ago. Not all of them, but some of them are filled with some nuclear heat.

Also Ai is just so adorably violent.

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.
