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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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
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
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、この記者会見の通訳をしているのも感慨深いです😢
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👏🏻
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
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!
もうこの状況に毎日感動している。絶対に勝ってくれ!
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.
全てをひっくり返して勝ってくれ!!
タリックさん頑張れ!
さえちゃんパパ😊
Really love watching Rizin and was happy to see one of their champs get a title shot straightaway.
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
Lot of japanese fan here🎉🎉🎉
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!
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
Let's goooo Kai
良い質問多いですね
自信に満ち溢れている海くん
最高にかっこいい🥹💗
海?かっこよすぎだろ
めちゃくちゃ強気の海!最強!
Excited for this one what a card from top to bottom
A new era is about to begin at flyweight .
As a guy who watched anime for more than 15 years, the translator did a phenomenal job.
13:35 日本の記者 ゴン格松山さん登場です

Can't wait to see what this guy is about
He comes to fight, I’ll watch
朝倉海!lets go ! 🔥😎
タリックさんいるとすごい安心感ある
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!
Shout out to the interpreter, he did great.
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
This kid winning would be so great for this overshadowed division.
great translator!!! rooting for Kai
my sun
The fact that this comment section is full of Japanese really shows that Asakura is a big draw
That's right
タリックさん海のサポートありがとう
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。
タリックさんが通訳で一緒に来てるの最高やな
좋은 시합 보여주길🙏
👍
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‼️
今年一番の楽しみ!KO期待してます!🤜🤜🤜💥
タリックさん🙏
海さん、let's go🔥🇯🇵🔥🇯🇵

Nah, he is not that good
He has passed his peak. Now he is a drinker.
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
海かてよ!
皆んなで祈ろう!応援しましょう📣
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

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.
11:11 excuse me??
PAUSE!!!!
Say what?
Bro just set asked if he knew random Japanese athletes like they all know each other
だんだん男前度がアップしてる
試合中に拳が折れなきゃ勝てると思う
Pay the interpreter
タリックさんの通訳流石すぎるな😳
海くんに日本を任せた🇯🇵

Martial arts organization RIZIN has produced Illy and kape
I don't know how much they paid for this guy but considering all the Japanese comments not enough
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。
🙀🙀🙀

when there was any competition?
Except for me when I see red

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
タリックさんがいると心強い😊
個人的にはサエちゃんが通訳について「あの美人通訳は誰?!」って海外格オタ界隈がざわついて欲しい
Wall of japanese 😅
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
はじめまして。
にほんだな(笑)。
He like “netorale"
ntr
The real Japanese star is Kyoji Horiguchi
日本のスターはみくるです
Never seen him fight but i dont think hes gonna win
