RIZIN 31

I didnโ€™t attend or do a proper โ€œAs it happenedโ€ post for RIZIN 31, but I certainly watched and tweeted the shit out of it. Like three people saw any of that however, as I recently disemboweled my old Twitter and started a new account. The reasons for this mostly have to do with Tokyo Yakult Swallows and the Nippon Professional Baseball pennant race. I traded my account for three wins. One down. ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿฉธโšพ

Anyhow, come down to the new spot and/or see the narrative of events below.

For the millionth time I'll say I'm not sure why RIZIN doesn't have a flyweight champ - plenty of fighters in Japan #RIZIN31

October 24th 2021

There was some talk of a Flyweight tournament during the event, which had a couple of Flyweight fights. Maybe a Grand Prix belt before a title?

Wow, Ito with the big comeback exposing Hashimoto's inexperience, the latter likely should have found a finish in R1 #RIZIN31

Lots of camera shots of Kyohei Hagiwara at #RIZIN31. Interesting how much they are pushing him even after being dominated by Mikuru Asakura at #RIZIN_LANDMARK

October 24th 2021

This is why: he headlines the new Trigger show directly after headlining the new Landmark show. He will probably headline whatever new show Sakakibara pushes on his staff in some frantic unannounced meeting next week. โ€œGuys, I have a great idea!โ€

On second thought I don't hate it. Shoji killed a youngster last time, Kyohei got embarrassed in veteran fashion. Sets up some interest for #RIZIN_TRIGGER

You like to see the PRIDE vet in the wrestling trunks fighting at #RIZIN31, especially just after Fedor's impressive win at #Bellator269

Fedor, man. โœŠ๐Ÿ

Sudario murdered the dude and it was slick. SAINT was game too. Really fun HW MMA like old school Pride.

Co-main was awesome from Oshima and Asakura reverted to her semi-listless mean.

This FW belt is cursed. #RIZIN31

October 24th 2021

But now I want a four-man tournament on NYE featuring old champ Saito, new champ Ushiku, former presumed champ Asakura, and current presumed champ Koike. That would be fucking sweeeeeet. ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿฐ

In the meantime, thereโ€™s whatever this new Trigger thing is and the Okinawa show, RIZIN 32, which is even skimpier on paper than RIZIN 31 - but that didnโ€™t turn out so bad.

Two impressive debuts in the top two fights on the #RIZIN31 card, Sudario was great, lots of other fun fights. If lacking in star power, an entertaining event

Lastly, a bad news tweet from just a few minutes ago. ONE Championshipโ€™s Friday show Next Gen just totally fell apart, losing itโ€™s main event and Grand Prix participant.

Aw man, #ONENextGen just took a big hit losing the kickboxing LHW champ Roman Kryklia main event and one of the GP fighters, Itsuki Hirata. Both are out for "medical issues"

Next Gen made my recent preview post and was on my โ€œmust watchโ€ list, but itโ€™s been downgraded to my โ€œIโ€™ll probably watch cause I have no lifeโ€ list. Anyway. Next proper post here should be Fight Circus 3 on November 5th.
