PBP Bellator x Rizin 2/Super Rizin 2, Sat. 7/29, 11 PM ET/8 PM PT PBP Discussion Thread

That was insane.

Suzuki definitely has star power, look at him screaming moonspeak in the mic

 

[Go Go Plata]

This MMA game comes for everyone but Pitbull had an amazing run.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

This was a HUGE win for RIZIN. Of all of the cross promotion match ups, winning this against the legend was the most important. Pretty stoked right now.

Announcements time

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

huge upset, good for rizin totally. this is what they need

 

[panem-et-circenses]

Great fights, production… and then they cut to the commentators on Zoom who look out of it

Absolutely beautiful. I kept thinking if he hit it it would be that duck under counter left hook he landed a few times, and it almost was, but that right he landed was merciless.

This is why we watch.

Damn shame honestly. Pitbull was landing that well, but he wasn't putting any heat on it. He was just putting it out there almost like a range finder. If he would've sat down on it, he could've saved himself a few seconds by backing the kid up or even stunning him.

I think Pitbull is done after this. He's not a killer anymore. He's too much of a tactician now. But not very strategic. Not very adaptable anymore.

Holy shit... the way Chihiro was throwing, it only felt like a matter of time.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

RIZIN in Azerbaijan... Musayev is next up.

Tuxedo dude talking fight politics. LOL. But at least it's not slimy. It's actually refreshingly diplomatic. I appreciate that Rizin is being super diplomatic with Bellator. I hope this relationship persists and sets a good standard.

Maybe we'll see cross promo between PFL and ONE. I'd love to see unification bouts in MMA.

 

[panem-et-circenses]

Ok

 

[dmwalking]

Holy shit... the way Chihiro was throwing, it only felt like a matter of time.

Yeah, I said the same within the first few seconds of the fight. That kid was swinging with all his might. With how relaxed Pitbull was, I felt like if he got touched, it'd be over. And yeah, that's what happened.

 

[panem-et-circenses]

But at least it's not slimy.

Don’t trust him.

 

[Go Go Plata]

I think its time to feed Pitbull to Pico

 

[dmwalking]

Wish I could fast forward this.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Great fights, production… and then they cut to the commentators on Zoom who look out of it

LOL yea they were caught off guard and looked all fucked up

 

[dmwalking]

Don’t trust him.

LOL. I don't. But I like his presentation. He comes off respectful and well spoken.

he looked so damn calm at the stare down, maybe a little too relaxed. suzuki wanted to make up for this last performance so bad. glad he came out like that

I'd rather see Pitbull go out on some easy wins or at least fun style matchups that work well for him. I don't wanna see him keep getting KO'd.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Seems like these guys have money in RIZIN, like some kind of deal was brokered here. RIZIN obviously trying to get a footprint in the Caucasus region. It's an unassumingly smart move.
