【番組】RIZIN CONFESSIONS #77

Eight fighters advanced to the second round of the bantamweight tournament after winning the Tokyo Dome and Osaka tournaments in June. The four blue corner matches arranged by the organizers were all fighters who had won at the Osaka tournament. ▼Kintaro's unbridled fighting spirit vs. the laid-back Naoki Inoue Kintaro won his fierce battle against Kuya Ito, his face swollen. He trains in his hometown of Osaka under the guidance of Kyohei Hagiwara, a RIZIN star, and fellow trainee Yoshiro Maeda, as well as Masahiro Iwasaki, head of CARPE DIEM BJJ Ashiya. Naoki Inoue, currently on a four-fight RIZIN win streak, is the top contender for the bantamweight tournament. Having defeated Motoya, one of the four greats in the bantamweight division, with a ground-based move and Ishiwata with a striking victory, his skills are truly "S-class in all aspects." "When it comes to the Inagaki team, they're always up for something." Taking on those words from Yoshiro Maeda, Kintaro will unleash his potential opponent, Inoue, in this bout. ▼Former DEEP two-division champion Takashi Otsuka vs. former Shooto World Champion Hiromasa Ogikubo Takashi Otsuka shut down Shian's moves and advanced to the second round of the tournament. Otsuka has defeated numerous powerhouses with his incredible stamina and solid top control, and now, as he nears the end of his career, he is training voraciously at another dojo. Hiromasa Ogikubo, a former Shooto World Champion who has fought champions such as Kyoji Horiguchi and Kai Asakura in RIZIN, told Otsuka during the press conference, "We're on different levels," and he vows to show just how different they are in this bout. Who will emerge victorious in this simmering duel between Japan's top fighters? ▼Natural Dancing Kenta Takizawa vs. Natural Submission Yuuki Motoya Kenta Takizawa, who calls himself a "live streamer," makes extensive use of social media platforms like 17LIVE and TikTok. Since joining RIZIN, Takizawa has fought fierce battles against Kintaro, Ogikubo, and Yuruka Sasaki, and despite a record of one win and two losses, has gained recognition. However, his performance in his June bout with Imanari overturned that reputation. Yuki Motoya defeated current Shooto champion Ryo Okada in the first round of the tournament and advanced smoothly to the second round. Motoya, who said he "hasn't seen many" of Takizawa's matches, was even more reserved than usual. Will it be the dancing and talking Takizawa, or the silent natural submission Motoya? And will the mysterious "Takizawa Dance" actually be performed in the RIZIN ring? Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu vs. the Asakura Brothers, once again. Following his victories over Satoshi Souza and Kleber Koike at the Tokyo Dome, Alan "Hiro" Yamaniha won at the Osaka tournament. They belong to the same Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu and train together in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. Kai Asakura is the third RIZIN bantamweight champion and one of the favorites to win the Grand Prix. Since starting physical training on New Year's Eve 2019, Asakura has gained strength and is already looking beyond the Grand Prix victory. Just like Kleber's fight against Mikuru Asakura, can Yamaniha defeat Asakura as a team? With the bantamweight tournament narrowed down to eight fighters, who will be the four who advance to the second round...?!
