【番組】RIZIN CONFESSIONS #72

Currently uncrowned, Mikuru Asakura, who lost the title match in November and wants to win the title match again, and Kleber Koike, who has won two consecutive RIZIN wins, is also aiming for Yutaka Saito's belt.

"Run away, run away, run away" "The two of us are not fighters because we only do YouTube"

Asakura, who can't keep quiet about Kleber's remark, says, "You might see me faint, and conversely, there's also the possibility that I'll defeat her."

Will the next challenger to the featherweight throne be a street legend or a jiu-jitsu fiend?


Yutaka Saito, who won the throne in November last year and was targeted by featherweight fighters. Regarding the match between Asakura and Kleber, Saito said, "I think Kleber will win," and revealed that he is looking at a defense match with Kleber.

Such Saito will face Vugar Keramov, a fellow of the 2019 Lightweight Grand Prix champion Tofiq Musayev, who is currently winning 11 consecutive victories. He participated in RIZIN for the first time at RIZIN.21 in February last year and appealed to the audience for his aggressiveness.

What kind of match will Keramov, who will come to Japan while it is difficult to enter the country due to the corona wreck and will appear in front of Japanese fans again, fight against the champion Saito?


Tofiq Musayev, who came to Japan with Keramov and is currently living an isolated life. After winning the lightweight Grand Prix in 2019, Musayev was praised as a hero after returning to Azerbaijan, but after that, he went to the battlefield in the military conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. About a year and a half after winning the championship, Musayev, who has experienced various difficulties, will be able to make a roar in the Japanese ring again.

Robert Satoshi Souza, who has continued to run at the top of the lightweight class in Japan, while foreign players have been unable to enter the country due to the corona wreck. At the 2019 Lightweight Grand Prix, he lost in the first round and swallowed his tears. After that, he aspired to fight the champion, Musayev, and so far he has won two consecutive victories in striking and jiu-jitsu, which is his specialty, and this time he finally achieved a title match with Musayev.

Musayev, who charms you with his wild and crazy strikes, and Satoshi, who charms you with his beautiful, flowing jiu-jitsu. The World Lightweight War begins again.
