【番組】RIZIN CONFESSIONS #77

Eight fighters who won the Tokyo Dome tournament in June and the Osaka tournament and advanced to the second round of the bantamweight tournament. The 4-card blue corner set up by the organizers were all players who won the Osaka tournament.

▼Kintaro with bare fighting spirit vs. Naoki Inoue who is at his own pace

Kintaro wins a fierce battle with Kuya Ito with a swollen face. Kyohei Hagiwara, who is active in RIZIN, Yoshiro Maeda, etc., and Masahiro Iwasaki, the representative of CARPE DIEM BJJ Ashiya, will practice hard in their hometown Osaka.

Naoki Inoue, the top candidate for the bantamweight tournament, is currently winning four consecutive RIZIN wins. The ability to defeat Motoya, one of the four kings of the bantamweight division, with a ground attack, and defeat Ishiwatari with a blow, is truly an “all-round S class”.

"If you say Inagaki-gumi, you'll do something." What will Kintaro, who inherited the words from Yoshiro Maeda, set up against Inoue, a candidate for the championship, in this match?

▼ Former DEEP two-division champion TakafKai Otsuka vs. Former Shooto World Champion Hiromasa Ougikubo

TakafKai Otsuka, who sealed Shian's movement and advanced to the second round of the tournament. With his amazing stamina and rock-solid top control, Otsuka has beaten many strong opponents, and now that he is nearing the end of his career, he goes to other dojos and greedily practices.

Hiromasa Ougikubo is a former Shooto World Champion and has fought champions such as Kyoji Horiguchi and Kai Asakura in RIZIN. As he said to Otsuka at the press conference, "The level is different," he vows to show the difference in the level in the match.

Which one will win the smashing match between the domestic top fighters?

▼Natural Dancing Kenta Takizawa vs. Natural Submission Yuki Motoya

Kenta Takizawa, who makes full use of SNS such as 17LIVE and TikTok, calls himself a “liver”. After participating in RIZIN, Takizawa fought fierce battles with Kintaro, Ougikubo, and Ulka Sasaki, and although he won 1 win and 2 losses, Takizawa's popularity has increased. has covered

Yuki Motoya, who defeated current Shooto champion Ryo Okada in the first round of the tournament, advanced smoothly to the second round. Motoya, who says, "I haven't seen much of Takizawa's matches," is much quieter than usual.

Is it Takizawa who dances and talks, or Motoya who is a taciturn natural memorial submission? And will the mysterious “Takizawa Dance” be performed in the RIZIN ring?

▼ Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu vs. Asakura brothers, again.

Following Satoshi Souza and Kleber Koike's victories at the Tokyo Dome, Alan "Hiro" Yamaniha won at the Osaka tournament. They belong to the same Bonsai Jiu-Jitsu and practice together in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Kai Asakura, the third RIZIN bantamweight champion and one of the candidates for the Grand Prix. Asakura, who started physical training on New Year's Eve 2019 and has gained power, is already looking ahead to winning the Grand Prix.

Will Yamaniha be able to defeat Asakura as a team, just like Kleber's Asakura match?
