RIZIN NYE - Openweight World Grand Prix Final - December 29 - 31 (OFFICIAL DISCUSSION)

Rather see an olympic caliber loser then a fucking granny.

I too think it is bad matchup but, I think that simply no one wants to fight Gabi so they literally put anybody who accepts.

Gabi vs. Bob Sapp ... make it!!!

Sakurai back. Nice.

7 more fights still. This card will be loaded up for NYE all nighters as usual. Can't wait.

— Kai Kara France (@kaikarafrance) 8 décembre 2016

TUF24's Kai "Don't Blink" Kara France (12-6, 1NC) signs with RIZIN, faces Top 5 Japanese flyweight Tatsumitsu Wada (16-8-2, 1NC) at RIZIN on 12/29.

Allegedly Fabio Maldonado asked to replace Wand but then refused because he needs to go to gums operation.

That would have been interesting actually. I would have liked to see him and Cro Cop in a stand up fight, though modern Cro Cop might have taken him down.

So if this were a US promotion the equivalent of these fights would be about:

Saiga v West
Kate Uptons boyfriend (with her actively promoting him) who has had some mid-card fights in the UFC and a few in WSOF size orgs (Saiga) v Some random dude (West)
-
Motoya v Nascimento
Current UFC mid-carder (Motoya) v relatively unknown but talented hot prospect making his big league debut (Nascimento)
-
Tatsumitsu v TBA
Long time vet of WSOF size orgs (Tatsumitsu) v TBA-
-
Yachi v Sisimundo
Guy who is vet of multiple WSOF size promo's (Yachi) v some random low level guy (Sisimundo)
-
Garcia v Asakura
Low level girl from a foreign feeder (like Top FC size) (Garcia) v vet of multiple WSOF size promo's (Asakura)

I read that Wand's replacement will be announced during this press conference on Wednesday.

go go go

Be very interesting to find out who it is

Rizin are working with a 4 or 5 names on table.Mirko next opponent will be defined this week.

rena vs Hanna "Tyson" Gujwan

Tatsumitsu Wada vs. Kai Kara France

Also Tenshin Nasukawa make his mma debut
