We made it, and our reward is Rizin trying desperately to get Rena her win back.

"how will the judges see this round" well, vanzandt dominated 3/4 of the round but it's Rena, so

Are they judging round by round or PRIDE rules?

edit: oh ok they just clarified, full fight judging.

PRIDE rules, including the all-important "who do we want to win" rubric

edit: like, that round is a great example, according to Rizin's criteria "who came closest to a finish" is supposed to be the biggest deal, but despite being inches from a sub there is a 0% chance they gave Lindsey that round

it was kind of a weird choice by the corner but I'm 100% with Ferraro on the 'always side with a corner protecting their fighter' philosophy

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

CB Dollaway won 1:50 of a fight against Jiri Prochazka and then got knocked out in five seconds because he's CB Dollaway.

That was awesome, and I'm glad not even Rizin judging can overcome "spent most of the fight getting almost submitted or knocked out"

What's with the ref dangling that dude's mouthpiece in front of him? He was obviously being distracted by it, loving stop the action or don't.

Yeah, he was trying to find a moment to do it that didn't interrupt Tenshin beating the dogshit out of him and it got kind of awkward.

Looked to me like it led directly to the first knockdown, but maybe dude was already pretty rocked from having his mouthpiece knocked out in the first place, I dunno, seemed really incompetent compared to the bullshit muaythai I watch on youtube but maybe straight kickboxing is different somehow.

So, remember when Sakakibara came out in the middle of the card to beg people to watch Rizin and raise their TV ratings?

https://twitter.com/Karaev_Fan/status/1212674533309575168

-36% drop in ratings from last year alone. Not looking good for Rizin lasting out this year.

edit: also the japanese TV broadcast included fedor/rampage so extra oof
