Yes, he did. Birchak was ahead in the first round but Moon came back and took over with the striking to win the fight. Was a good decision by the judges.

Reina upset by Cindy

Jiri comeback win, smashing on Karl

hell yeah! Ishiwatari

Was great to see. King of Pancrase vs. DEEP champ coming up. Plus, Horiguchi vs. Kape.

It's going to be great. What a great night of fights we had tonight and more to come in just two days.

Okay, I'm going to be That Guy. How do I watch this without paying a dime?

Not sure. I ordered on fite.tv and the stream was excellent. It was worth $30 for two events. There was someone in the discussion thread at Sherdog who said he had a stream but not sure where.

That's right. I wouldn't be too surprised if we see an underdog win the GP. We will find out tonight.

Just 14 1/2 hours until Rizin NYE continues.

Wonder how the Bantamweight tournament fighters are feeling right now.

My toughest ever go of it was when I won the brown belt division at Capital City Open judo tournament in Sacramento; I wasn't in my tip top shape, and had to beat 5 or 6 guys in a row.

Afterward, I felt like absolute death for days.

It's crazy how these guys can fight a full fight at this elite level, and then come back two days later to fight up to two more times, on a single night. It's a real tough of endurance, toughness, heart, straight durability, and a lot more.

I guess that except for Otsuka, they should all be relatively in good shape off their first fights.

Horiguchi impressed me the most, but his size is a noticeable factor in the match ups.

I'm looking forward to the kickboxing tournament too, and whether Tenshin Nasukawa can maintain his undefeated record in kickboxing, to go with his 4-0 record in MMA. He probably shouldn't have too much trouble, but you never know.

Now if kyoji wins i wonder if he will stay with rizin or sign else were ? He would make a great divisonal champion for them .I do think rizin will start crowning in the next few years .If anyone forgot this is how i would do the divisions

. Heavy weight unlimted
. Middle weight 205
. Welter weight 185
.light weight 165
. Bantam weight 145
.fly weight 125
The same as pride with the added divisions

I predict Horiguchi vs. Ishiwatari 2 in for the final

Yeah, it's incredible they can come back this quick and fight again. I can't wait to see how this turns out. GP has been great so far.

I am also looking forward to the kickboxing tournament. Pulling for Tenshin to win it.

Would love those divisions for Rizin.  I hope Horiguchi stays with them at BW.  His speed looks great at that division.  Would be cool if they were crowning the winner as Rizin BW champ tonight.

Makes sense. I kind of would like to see Kape with the upset.

1 hour to go.
