Rizzo is way past his prime but it´s always ineresting to see the old legends fighting. Ishii will rag doll him

Decent fight. I think Ishii takes this. Yeah, Rizzo is past his prime.

I wouldn't count Rizzo out.

Ishii by anything inside a round.

Not counting him out. Anything can happen in MMA. I just feel pretty confident Ishii will take it. Rizzo is aged and far from his prime and Ishii has shown continual improvement and has a lot of potential. It is an interesting fight, I am looking forward to.
