Yeah but I would love in the near future for rizin to put on 8_10 events per year

Yeah, maybe in the future.

realisticaly they will have if sakkikabarra wants to make rizin a major player they will have to do more events 10 is a good number it keeps the interest up and it is not oversaturated .

I could see them going to 8 - 10 events a year. I wouldn't be surprised if they do in the future.

Hard to believe we are just over one week away from JMMA NYE!

i can't wait this tournament anyone can win horuguchi and Macall are the overwhelming favorites but I wouldn't be surprised if they get upsets by their opponents those 2 guys are capable of beating them. With rena if she wins be awesome to see a match between her and Angela Lee of course ange would be the favorite still who wouldn't want to see it?

With Mark hunt leaving the ufc after 2 more fights were do people see him ending up? I want to add some points

1 usada now they talk about how usada is cleaning the sport let's be real we all they're paid to only bust certain fighters at certain times eg brock Lesnar and jon Jones they knew they were on something but conveniently busted them after their fights

2 the assumption that every mma fighter in Japan hell outside the ufc are automatically on steroids I mean come on.

3 more of a rant as soon as one fighter says one thing negative about the ufc they all come out of the wood work.

I wouldn't be surprised by an upset either.

here is a question if pride was still around which fighters do people think would be with pride ?
In my opinion i say in no particular order
.rory macdonald
.jose aldo
.renan barrao
The pitbull brothers
.nick diaz
.will brooks
.andrey korshekov
.shinya aoki
.bibiano fernandes
.vitali minakov
That is some of what i came well i suppose when rizin gets bigger they can go after top 10 i know i have said it 3x already they rizin should go to different countries and scout talent .

It is funny with all the ufc talk they can't make their own stars . Gsp,ortiz,liddell,couture and all those guys made the ufc . Guys like ,a silva,w silva,d henderson ,g mousasi,aldo,faber .emelianenko were already stars .

Nice list. I think they would have those fighters as well. They would also have Blagoi and some other top international talent like Carvalho.

Tomorrow night, Rizin NYE begins.
