Their fans, most of the negativity towards it is from the west who RIZIN doesn't care about.
You are correct. The English commentary has been dog shit.
Sengoku needs to make a comeback.

The most important thing for them now is to give fights that japanese audience want to see. That is the way to build stabile home fan base that will watch their events regulary and provide income and financial stability for the promotion, and to increase number of events per year.
And after that is achieved, then will be the time to go for serious strenghtening of the divisions. You have to take one step at the time.
Once they build a stabile base of home fans, consumers and audience, then they can gather and purchase avaliable talent and free agents, or even overpay some more than they can get elswhere just to get them and strenghten the roster.
RENA is one of their biggest draws and her fights have gotten some of their highest ratings on Fuji TV.
They built an entire tournament just for her basically.
Them dumping her in favor of pleasing a handful of foreign fans who don't really increase their ratings would a horrendous idea from a buisness perspective.

Only Russian organizations like ACB and War Criminal FC don't have WMMA.Also i would like if they dumped WMMA. Japan doesnt need wmma, never did, never had good female fighters, i have no idea why they doing it now. They got like 5 WMMA fights on next card, noone ever heard about any of those girls, many of them are from pro wrestling and dont know how to throw a straight punch, and i just dont get the point of it, its watering down what already is a heavily watered down product.
Anyway, im not happy...

MMA as a whole has left you behind.
it's a catch-22, though. making a tourney around one fighter is a joke. they don't seem to have any depth/anyone worth a damn for her to fight. or for most of the 'named' fighters on their roster. it's kind of crap.
Im very disappointed in where Rizin is going as a promotion...
I mean, Gabi Garcia fighting another grandma? Who the hell wants to see that?
Japan doesn't care about that. Only North Americans. And we are not anywhere on their radar in terms of give a fucks
They're saving a surprise fight between Bob Sapp and Giant Silva.

All of this just wrong, way wrong
This BWGP is pretty good. Also the SAWGP has some exciting fighters if you like WMMA. I don't see Gabi vs Grandma as any dangerous than the UFC booking Diego Sanchez or BJ Penn. Those fighters have a lot of miles and thousands of more strikes absorbed than Kandori. Plus Gabi has shit striking. It is still bad.Wait wait wait... So youre actually defending Rizin on this card, and making Gabi Garcia kill another grandma? You happy with it? You think its a good move huh?
You are dreaming if you ever think it will be more then this. Rizin is a cash grab for pride fanboys and what little audience is left in Japan.The most important thing for them now is to give fights that japanese audience want to see.

I'm just saying the Japanese fans wanted that fight. Go look at the reaction among Japanese fans, it's far more positive than that of western fans. Yes, I like the cards, there's a lot of good stuff outside of that fight.Wait wait wait... So youre actually defending Rizin on this card, and making Gabi Garcia kill another grandma?

A Japanese mma cash grab?You are dreaming if you ever think it will be more then this. Rizin is a cash grab for pride fanboys and what little audience is left in Japan.
Is that you're takeaway from these cards though? To me it's clear that the focus is on showcasing in-prime talent or promising prospects. The Crocop, Takanori Gomi, and Gabi Garcia fights aren't even in the top 3 portion of either event.Im very disappointed in where Rizin is going as a promotion...
