#Rizin55 in the books with The Voice @schiavellovoice. Slam KOs, Spinning stomps and much more. First international flyweight champion @tonylaramie fought through adversity to be victorious & line up a possible NYE rematch with Yuki Ito
It was wild, did not disappoint @RIZINTV_
Thank you for a great card @RIZINTV_@rizin_PR You never disappoint!! Great commentary by @SchiavelloVoice & @beatdown155 and of course we appreciate @lennehardt The fighters delivered & the production was top rate as usual! See you & all the RIZIN fan’s around the world on NYE
Super entertaining fight between @FukudaRyuya & @ssanbasan! Both rocked each other and Kim had what @beatdown155 called “drunken man defense” & was intent on his spinning elbows 😂! In the end Fukuda had the bigger moments to win the UD. #RIZIN55@RIZINTV_ Thank you!
@polyh3dron@usaaronm1@Grabaka_Hitman That’s why I never mentioned the fight itself because I think it’s a historic fight and finish. Not to be directly compared.
But the submission was beautiful and got me excited
But I have also been finished by a GoGoPlata 😂
Amazing win by @jinnosukemma with a rare Ezekiel choke! Thank you for the knowledgeable commentary by @beatdown155 who expressed how rare this choke is! Good to the mutual respect between him & @shinobu_ota_mma after since they had bad blood prior to the fight #Rizin55
@polyh3dron@usaaronm1@Grabaka_Hitman It wasn’t a comparison in performance. The submission rarity was more the point. It’s not as rare but I would say it’s up there with it
@TheFightSleuth Similar example would’ve been round 4, Volk vs Islam 1 which was the round all the damage was done by Volk despite being stuck in back position.
The rules do state that he can stand them up it’s just an odd thing to see I guess.
@TheFightSleuth I do agree with all of your points. Just think being on the back is as dominant as it gets when you’re looking for a finish. But it is what it is. I’m not disappointed Tom got the finish minutes after that stand up 🙌🏾
@TheFightSleuth I don’t see it as a rule violation but is a fight is boring on the feet Ngannou/Lewis, we don’t go an out them in closed guard 😂
I’m a Nolan fan through and through, I think the fight ends the same way but at what point do we allow the offensive person to hold back control
@FloppyLolliPop It’s an odd one because the point of the different arts is to win position and try to finish the fight while the other person attempts to defend or escape those positions.
I had a solid bet on Tom for a Round 3 TKO but I still find it an odd one.
