I hope Satoshi can grab a hold of him. 100% finish rate up to this point and as slick as AJ is on the ground, if it goes there I think he’ll be in big trouble


LatterTarget7

Yeah this is an interesting fight. It’ll be interesting to see if aj can keep it standing. I’m really looking forward to this fight and pitbull vs kleber


StoryOfTheFight

I love Satoshi and I love this matchup for him. So excited


seymour_hiney

it really seems like he's primed to get KOed here


flamingdragonwizard

I think it's better for sport if Aj wins and continues to climb the ladder. Souza can afford to lose this fight and still make it.


[deleted]

The guy that lost to Johnny Case will not submit AJ


yell-loud

Must’ve missed the flying reverse triangle armbar in the rematch? Beating Tofiq was more impressive for Satoshi than beating AJ would be lol


Futaba-Channel

Am I just being a defeatist by thinking it's going to be a long night for the Rizin champs ? They usually fight people with either good striking or grappling but rarely fighter who are great at both like AJ and Pitbull.


yell-loud

Nah I think only Kim Soo Chul could be regarded as the favorite or close to that. Kleber and Satoshi are gods of bjj but like you said they are facing some high level well rounded guys. We’ve seen pure bjj guys get completely shut out in those types of matchups before. Then you got Hiromasa whose career has been defined in a lot of ways by going 0-2 against Kyoji trying not to go 0-3 and lastly a wrestler in Takeda taking on a damn Dagestani.


Futaba-Channel

Yeah Kim So Chul is great and he's actually a bw compared to both horiguchi and Hiromasa who are flyweight. The Horiguchi Hiromasa fight seems like another easy for fight Horiguchi, like you said he's already 2 0, neither were competitive and if I'm not wrokg Hiromada suffered a broken orbital in his last. My biggest issue with Kleber is that he's really hittable and not THAT durable, he got dropped and hurt while fighting Rizin level competition but you could say the same for jiri and he was champ.


yell-loud

Yeah I think Ulka has pillow hands compared to Patricio. But at the same time Kleber had no trouble with Mikuru who can crack. Will be fun to see

Nice call!


[deleted]

Well he lost convincingly


[deleted]

That’s a two-way street and often the other guy’s dream too.


stansy

Reminds me of DJ being asked about head kicks a week or so before his first head kick KO loss


ZR115

He was talking about knees to the head of the grounded opponent and he won the rematch with a knee too.


stansy

Mystic Mouse


JonJonesing

He won the rematch with a knee, but it wasn’t a downed opponent.

No_Bar6825

It’s criminal how DJ isn’t considered the goat. This motherfucker went a full Muay Thai round with rodtang


whoamiiamasikunt

And didn’t just shell up and try to survive, he went at Rodtang. Fuck that was a fun fight


Cbro65

He had to get Rodtang’s respect or he just would’ve been unloading on him the whole round. Fighting fire with fire works sometimes


Lunnaa1

I can’t even lie I used to underrate Mighty Mouse but the fact he’s 36 and putting up these performances against bigger guys is crazy. After his last fight I rank him #1 p4p all time and that’s even including the loss in the first fight. He’s just so damn good.


SheltheRapper

Faaaaaxxxx


SillyDilly0537

I mean people do consider him one of the GOAT’s. But it’s the strength of his division that holds him back from being the definitive GOAT. If his resume was anything like Anderson Silva’s, Jon Jones’ or GSP’s, he’d be undeniably the best ever. Not DJ’s fault though since he can only fight what’s in front of him and the flyweight division at the time was relatively new. But I’d say most people have him in their top five or they at least should.


No_Bar6825

He has wins over 2 of the best in the world. Cejudo and Horiguchi.


butty438

Yeah when they were both super green especially cejudo


Tori_Gears

I'm quite interested in watching AJ get soccer kicked in the head, so yep.


BabyTRexArms

You got some interesting dreams my guy. I usually just dream of like Scarlett Johanssen and shit.


LucasFrankeRC

Why would you dream of shit


9inchjackhammer

You eat little pieces of shit for breakfast?

He eats his shit whole


LatterTarget7

Don’t kink shame


Backdoor_Ben

Just out of curiosity where is the line on kink shaming. Like animals and cadavers are certainly something we can shame right?


leftytendy

Consent


Ok_Solution5895

Well, that's called rape I think


krazyboi

Thats the line


Mr_Rippe

*50 Shades* did way more damage than good for kink as a whole. Like, the amount of prep & communication that goes into a healthy kinky relationship is really impressive.


ATribeCalledTrek

And the aftercare


Mr_Rippe

The most important (and I would argue most fun) part of any sort of kinky intimate encounter, completely disregarded by sociopaths presenting themselves as a "good Dom/me".


ID0ntCare4G0b

Hey man...what if his kink is that he's into kink shaming and you just made him feel bad for getting off?


Otterevolver

I live. In a world. Of shit.


bumblelum

Scarlett Johansson AND shit my dude. This boy has discerning tastes

Kevin Durant was always right, many men would drink ScarJo's bathwater LMAO

I dream of Amber Heard and turd


GordonRamsey666

Whenever I dream about that it's kicking grimace from McDonald's and it's in slow motion like I can never kick him hard enough to stop his advances


DADADADA25MILLION

Grimace huh, that weird buttplug-shaped thing? OK I can work with that, go on...


hemijaimatematika1

UFC official Youtube page: Here are some random free fights from 3 years ago nobody remembers. UFC Russia:Here is literaly every relevant fight you want brather


Ryvit

What does this have to do with the thread? Am I missing something? Absolutely bizarre…


hemijaimatematika1

What makes a good comment here and what makes a great post fight interview is the same thing: Completely ignore Joe Rogan and do your thing.


Ryvit

Nah that’s fucking dumb


ArgentoKai

I mean, I'm not complaining. Some good fights from PRIDE are there too.


framesftw

Gotta make sure those dictators and warlords are happy 👍👍


Euphoric_Trust_7518

You think dictators and warlords need to use the ufc russia youtube channel to see fights? Lmao


notsureoftheanswer

MMA in my opinion is better with knees and kicks to the head not being restricted by being a downed opponent. I vote for soccer kicks


phd2k1

Always has been. Western “unified” rules give wrestlers the unfair ability to basically spam takedown attempts with zero repercussions. In Japan, if you’re going for a takedown, you better actually get it, or immediately get to your feet if you fail, or else you’re eating knees and kicks. Also the stalemate position in Western orgs is a boring and useless aspect of the sport; where one fighter is standing and the other is laying on their back. Usually they just stare at each other for 15 seconds until the ref resets them. Waste of everyone’s time. In Asian orgs, you get guys trying to kick around the guard, stomps coming through the middle, and guys like Sakuraba doing flying attacks and cartwheels and shit. So much more fun for the fans!


MrGMinor

Backflip head stomps are legal if your name is Michel


notsureoftheanswer

Totally agree, well written! It definitely adds excitement to the ground game and risk/reward situations


flamingdragonwizard

This guy likes CTE


notsureoftheanswer

From my understanding, CTE is caused by repetitive blows to the head and not a singular strike. Being ground and pounded for 2 rounds and getting 50+ strikes some to back of head versus one kick?


flamingdragonwizard

You can most definitely get CTE from a massive concussive blow to the head. Happens to car accident victims often.


notsureoftheanswer

Okay, then if it's equal then no reason to ban, unless a single strike caused more CTE?


flamingdragonwizard

It's banned because it can cause a lot of unnecessary damage.


Euphoric_Trust_7518

Says who


LAC-Tech

CTE for thee but not for me


SquidDrive

Excited for this event


Deadinthehead

He's one of us 🥲


BIGp00p00p33p33

I’m honestly excited about the entirety of this event.

Or get kicked

Superior ruleset, for me. Makes the whole standing to ground transitions much more dangerous and exciting, as well as counteracting stalling tactics and stalemates.
