Would be unreal to see Horiguchi vs. Caldwell on NYE!

Holly shit and it is for the rizin championship so if darrion wins he becomes a two org champion.

Both kyoji and darrion are top 3 bantamweights a person would be a fool to think they are not cough ufc fans cough. 

Look at their records
Kyoji 25-2 rizin gp champion
Darrion 13-1 bellator bw champion. 

I did pick darrion to win though this is his first time competing under rizin rules .

This explains why mirko isn't on the card lol one person on Facebook looks like rizin is about to go bankrupt.

1 yeah we never heard that one before 
2 people seem to be pumped up for this horiguchi vs Caldwell title match
3 on number 2 i hope more champ vs champ cross promotion happens of course the ufc will never do it because well we all know why but still it would show who is the actual best in that division..

This is unreal! Can't believe it is for the RIZIN BW title. The fight will be held under RIZIN rules as well. Will be nice seeing Caldwell with the JMMA ruleset available to him. I wonder how he will train for soccer kicks, stomps, knees on the ground, and elbows (including the 12-6 elbow).

No doubt, they are top tier BWs in the world, I totally agree. I am not sure who to pick yet. Ok, I will go with Caldwell too. I think he will be even more of a dangerous fighter with the RIZIN rules available to him. Will be cool seeing him in the ring with the JMMA rules.

This is great having the champ vs. champ cross-promotion.  Floyd Mayweather on the card and a cross-promotional title fight with Bellator, RIZIN is going all out for NYE.  Too bad they couldn't get Cro Cop for this one but hopefully he will be on their next card.

I was going to bring this up. How can they be going bankrupt when they've got 27,000 fans in September and already sold out with 14. We could see possibly 40,000 people. Not to mention the ratings I think they're getting on Fuji TV have been good. If anything, it sounds like Rizin is not throwing money everywhere and are being conscious of what they can spend.

Yeah, probably mostly BS press. I wouldn't be surprised.

I was going to reply and say rizin will go bankrupt because they couldn't get mirko on the card? Talk about grasping straws. People are asking if darrion wins how will he defend the belts? Easy just defend the bellator belt one match and the rizin the next. Next year we could see a rizin ff fighter in the bellator cage challenging for the belt. This is great for mma in my opinion some people are this will end up like boxing with a millon belts. Granted i don't want that to happen either. But come on we all know the real reason. Here is my play by play arguing with a zombie 
Me this cross promotion thing will be great for the sport 
Zombie it will be like boxing too many belts 
Me no just pick the top 4 mma which are in asia and North America and who ever holds all titles is the undisputed best in that division. 
Zombie it won't work the ufc will smash everyone they're on different Level 
Me well then they should have nothing to worry about. 
Zombie go fuck yourself.

Nice to see Gabi is coming back to the RIZIN ring.

Crazy, it's just two weeks until RIZIN NYE.
