Seo Hee Ham also confirmed fighting

jesus christ all 3 of those fights are great. hoping motoya and ishiwatari win, although those are very close matches on paper.

yachi is a solid veteran, but mikuru has simply looked amazing in Rizin. Would be shocked if mikuru lost this.

Yuki is a girl's name isn't it, gonna watch her for sure,

Wait I remembered some of those name..Yuki is the guy with the shoulder locks right ? quite an interesting ground game and Yachii KO'd Cruickshank I think..definitely gonna be a stacked card

High level fights. Good to see Ishiwatari back and vs Ulka, thats a good match up right there. Expect Asakura to steamroll Yachi and Motoya vs Ogikubo is just a fun fight with both of them being superb on the ground.
Rizin 17 is shaping up well.

Great matchups

Well I am quite surprised, I expected Rizin would take a few months off. Glad to know they'll be back at the end of next month, and all three fights they announced (when they got them on stage last night, that's when I had to tap out) look terrific.

I'm not sure I much care for Rizin. Sitting through an Hour long intermission at 3am when I have stuff to do tomorrow then suffering through Fite TVs constant buffering killed the experience for me.

Spend less time on flash and hype and get to the damn fights.

Can't wait for Yachi vs Mikuru that should be a war!

They know they have to work around the live broadcast, they need to figure out how to better do it. UFC has been doing it for years, it seems in this regard the Japanese are failing to learn from the west.

Is there multiple live broadcast portions or just 1?

I noticed yesterdays show had 3 intermissions. A 20min one after the first two fights, a 40min+ one before Cruickshank, then another 20min one before Kanna.
