RIZIN Fighting World Grand Prix 2016 - 1st Round PBP Discussion (9/24 @ 2 AM EST)

[Asurah]

Nothing really. They both cornered opposing fighters in the Kanako Murata and Kyra Batara fight. They came out with them during the walkouts and then just hung around by the ramp... that was a bust.

Just a marketing gimmick to celebrate 45 years of Cup Noodles.

Murata was awarded a year or lifetime (idr which) supply of cup noodles

That's right, I remember hearing that

Can you still rewatch it on the same stream ? I wouldn't mind rewatching the entire event

 

[DrGlaze]

Eh, not a huge fan of Cro Cop vs Wandy 3. Nothing to me would indicate the third fight will go any different. I would much rather see the older established guys fight the new breed. I was honestly hoping for Jiri vs Axe Murderer in the second round.

 

[MilesAbove]

Exactly what i was thinking.

Hey @MilesAbove, see you at the next rizin. Also, have you ever noticed that aliakbari looks like Zangief from Street Fighter with that facial hair and haircut?

Holy shit, how did I not see this before? Absolutely, man. Perfect.

Just bought my flight to Japan. Will be working with Aliakbari's team. Doubt I'll be walking out, but who cares.... I'll be in freaking Tokyo on New Years, lol!!!

Right on! The man who introduced me to MMA was an Iranian wrestler named Ali Elias. I had him as a coach and was invited to watch him compete in MMA, long before it was close to mainstream. He won by RNC, and I've had a lot of respect for Iranian wrestlers ever since. I love Crocop and Baruto, but I'm rooting just as hard for Amir. I've actually looked forward to his fights since he announced that he was taking up MMA. I think he has a good shot at winning this.

 

[HELMER]

[GSP_37]

Catching up on the event now. Only saw like 3 fights last night and the Cro cop one this morning.

Someone was nice enough to upload them on YouTube shortly after each bout finished, but Crocop's was taken down quickly. Too bad the best quality was 360p.

Thanks for the replay. I was in France this weekend with the most incredibly beautiful woman and a child hood crush. But. Rizen. I still felt empty inside with no live stream

Either of those fights would be excellent on NYE.

Yes. I'm sure the Japanese media will going to hype it
