Disappointed nobody asked him if there's a chance his older brother might fight in the UFC if given a chance, especially when the UFC comes to Japan. Mikuru has been in a slump recently and says he's retired but I wonder he might reconsider if given such an opportunity.
Curious wonder if anyone has asked any other fighters in Rizin how they feel about Kai joining the UFC and if there’s now other fighters who may want to follow in his footsteps
There are so many fighters in Japan who admire the UFC, and many of them have publicly stated that it is their goal. PRIDE used to be the pinnacle of MMA, but now even the Japanese recognize that the UFC is the best. However, the reality is that many Japanese fans are only into RIZIN, and the number of fans who watch UFC is still very small. I believe that KAI's UFC debut will bring a lot of RIZIN fans to pay attention to the UFC, and will help build a bridge between UFC fans and RIZIN fans who are interested in each other's events. The fact that so many Japanese words are lined up in this comment section is a testament to that.
They gave this kid a title fight to show other organizations (RIZIN etc) that they are looking for talents among them. There is no way this Japanese boy will crack the top 5 in the UFC. It's just a business move. But hope I'm wrong.
The UFC are a business, not a sport. Asakura was brought in to lose, and that's why the UFC's matchmakers set this up. The UFC aren't trying to legitimise Rizin, they are trying to do the opposite, delegitimise it, like the UFC do to all other leagues, basically if someone else was the current champ like Steve Erceg or Kai Kara France, the UFC would have never brought in Asakura for a title shot, because in that situation he has a reasonable chance of winning, and that would be bad propaganda for the UFC as a company. However with Pantoja, his style is almost perfect to defeat Asakura, Pantoja has a tough chin and is very skilled at taking people down and laying on them, Asakura is almost exclusively a standup fighter, the result here is already known by the match makers. Unless Asakura lands something crazy like a flying knee while Pantoja is trying to take him down, then Asakura isn't winning, and the chances of that flying knee happening is obviously low.
Interesting conspiracy theory but they probably just want more Eastern talent and therefore Eastern fans lol. They'd probably love Asakura as their champion, they were hyping up Taira.
UFC is cruching competition now they have literally all the best fighters in tje world exvept Rico who is in the end of his carrer and Usman nurmagomedov

This translator is terrible at translating. A lot of stuff is not even accurate. He’s stuttering in Japanese very difficult to understand what he means by it.
きちんと堂々と回答してますね。頼もしい! 勝ってくれ!!
カイ、チャンピオンになってくれ!!!
ゴン格松山さん!
日本でRIZINの会見の時より滑舌よくハキハキ質問しててやればできる感ある笑
海くんも日本のメディア来てくれてて嬉しそう
He has a lot of Japanese fans
Me!
i was searching for an english comment
It’s really cool to see them support him so fiercely, going to be an awesome fight
Comment section is wild. UFC knew what they were doing bringing him over straight to the title.
alll of Japan is here!
And even if Pantoja wins he will have some japanese fans
通訳の上手い下手ではなく、サエちゃんパパがこの舞台で頑張ってる姿に泣けてくるんだよ😭
頑張れ❗️TEAM KAI‼️
上手どころかそれ以上だよ きちっとまとめてる それも好印象を持たれるように
タリックさんが頼もしすぎる🙏そして海くんの言葉選びの安定感。質問に対してトンチンカンなこと絶対言わないしいつも安心して見ていられる。
おおー、前回を踏まえてタリックさんが通訳になったんだ
相手を讃えている下りは訳していないのがタリックさん素晴らしいですね。単なる言葉の通訳ではなく、文化を通訳しています👏🏻
The image color for Umi's first UFC fight is white. It looks great on him❤️
I totally agree with you but his name is Kai.
タリックさんが、この記者会見の通訳をしているのも感慨深いです😢
もうこの状況に毎日感動している。絶対に勝ってくれ!
全てをひっくり返して勝ってくれ!!
Really love watching Rizin and was happy to see one of their champs get a title shot straightaway.
とても頼もしく感じました。日本男児であり大和魂をもった大人ですね。勝つことを願っています。がんばれ!
yamato!
Let's goooo Kai
タリックさん頑張れ!
さえちゃんパパ😊
タリックさん頼もしいね。海選手が証明してきた結果や人柄でこんな仲間が集っていると思うから、本当にすごいことだと思う。マジでかまして欲しい。応援してる!
Lot of japanese fan here🎉🎉🎉
海くんてほんとこの場所にいるのに選ばれし人間だなと思う。強いだけじゃなくしっかりした受け応えできる頭の良さを兼ね備えてて性格良くて英語も努力して身につけてコミュ力抜群で。海くんが初の日本人チャンピオンにならなくて誰がなる💪
Other, but not him, at least not this saturday
良い質問多いですね
もはやタリックさんファンだわ
私も 彼凄い カイ君の言いたいことを きちんと伝えててカイ君をもっと好印象をつけるべく 上手にまとめてる
Excited for this one what a card from top to bottom
めちゃくちゃ強気の海!最強!

最高にかっこいい🥹💗
海?かっこよすぎだろ
A new era is about to begin at flyweight .
13:35 日本の記者 ゴン格松山さん登場です
This guy is legit! Go Kai!
As a guy who watched anime for more than 15 years, the translator did a phenomenal job.
KAI ASAKURA🇯🇵🗾
タリックさん緊張してる感じ⁇
Can't wait to see what this guy is about
He comes to fight, I’ll watch
海!

必勝で!💪👍
タリックさんの存在、ほんとうに、、、心強い👍😉
JTTは素晴らしい!👍💪
タリックさんいるとすごい安心感ある
朝倉海!lets go ! 🔥😎
The fact that this comment section is full of Japanese really shows that Asakura is a big draw
That's right
my sun
Shout out to the interpreter, he did great.
This kid winning would be so great for this overshadowed division.
great translator!!! rooting for Kai
Does anyone know what Kai was saying to the Japanese reporter?
Did you come from Japan? Welcome to Las Vegas. (This reporter is a Japanese martial arts writer who often covers RIZIN and knows the face.)
Did you come all the way from Japan? Welcome to Las Vegas!
좋은 시합 보여주길🙏
👍
最後の質問は、日本人同士で戦わせるのもいいけど、平良・海vsランカーで2試合並ばせるのも盛り上がるよなぁ

Nah, he is not that good
He has passed his peak. Now he is a drinker.
タリックさんが通訳で一緒に来てるの最高やな

海かてよ!
皆んなで祈ろう!応援しましょう📣
タリックさんが通訳だから、気兼ねなく話せるだろうな。海選手のことだから知らない通訳さんならそこにも気を使いそうだよね。
今回良い試合をすればKaiはアメリカでかなり人気になる気がします。今回かなり厳しい試合になると思いますが結果はどうであれ直接リマッチになるくらいの良い試合を期待します😀
I’ve only just found out about him, seems exciting, I’ll watch him
カッコイイ‼️チャンピオンに相応しい人、この人だ‼️
タリックさん🙏
海さん、let's go🔥🇯🇵🔥🇯🇵
11:11 excuse me??
PAUSE!!!!
Say what?
今年一番の楽しみ!KO期待してます!🤜🤜🤜💥
海くん頬がこけてる。体調大丈夫かな。減量うまくいきますように🙏
フライ級の減量なんやから当たり前やろ笑 ごめんバカすぎておもろなってもうた笑

文章読めないタイプやなぁ。😅
日本の記者に比べて質問が簡潔でスムーズだね
日本のマスゴミは選手に意図的に「言わせよう」って形の質問するからな
9:50 i mean ufc has been to singapore and i know there isnt a big star from singapore so
タリックさんめっちゃ緊張してるように感じたw
プロモーションだから仕方ないけど仕事し過ぎだよ笑
I'd love to know the real story behind Mokaev's release. Letting him go was a huge blunder.
Pay the interpreter
試合中に拳が折れなきゃ勝てると思う
タリックさんの通訳流石すぎるな😳
タリックサンアリガトウゴザイマス
Bro this is gonna be a GOOD ASS fight………
Did he say Naruto?
だんだん男前度がアップしてる
Bro just set asked if he knew random Japanese athletes like they all know each other
タリックさんの通訳 めっちゃ良い
海くんに日本を任せた🇯🇵
タリック緊張😂
Japan in the house!!!
"hopefully they'll come on my back"

This commentsection now belongs to Japan

Martial arts organization RIZIN has produced Illy and kape
やったれ!
海がチャンピオンになったら
1人1勝1敗で決着をつけたい相手がいるって言って
堀口指名してくれないかな。

I don't think that's the case in the flyweight division. Just like Kyoji Horiguchi doesn't exist.
@中田正気 He wouldn't beat UFC Top 5
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
I don't know how much they paid for this guy but considering all the Japanese comments not enough
さえちゃんもパパがこんなことになるなんて思ってなかったやろなぁ

はじめまして。
にほんだな(笑)。
The real Japanese star is Kyoji Horiguchi
日本のスターはみくるです
He like “netorale"
ntr
Great for the division
Much love for Japan but he will not win
Don't cry when he gets choked out 😮
Parabens to Pantoja W , guerreiro. And STILL! 😤, Sorry Asakura
Never seen him fight but i dont think hes gonna win
