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.
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
@@MatthewMcRowan Glory used to have the best strikers with Badr Rico Jamal ...one FC used to have the goat mighty mouse but now UFC has all the best fights no completion at all
He does speak some English now, is actively studying it and getting better. He probably understood the gist of most of the questions. However for this kind of press conference its best to have an interpreter so he can relax and convey exactly what he wants to.
Kai’s been learning English for a few years for the UFC, so he can speak it pretty well. The translator’s actually his friend’s dad and also his English teacher. He’s probably just letting him handle it ’cause he trusts him.
きちんと堂々と回答してますね。頼もしい! 勝ってくれ!!
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👏🏻
カイ、チャンピオンになってくれ!!!
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😢

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
全てをひっくり返して勝ってくれ!!
Comment section is wild. UFC knew what they were doing bringing him over straight to the title.
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.
Let's goooo Kai
His interpretation is the most reassuring.😊
海?かっこよすぎだろ
良い質問多いですね
タリックさんいるとすごい安心感ある
めちゃくちゃ強気の海!最強!
Really love watching Rizin and was happy to see one of their champs get a title shot straightaway.
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
Excited for this one what a card from top to bottom
タリックさん、Good Job! フライ級に関しての答えバッチリです。良く察知しましたね。
タリックさん海のサポートありがとう
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💪

A new era is about to begin at flyweight .
KAI ASAKURA🇯🇵🗾
タリックさんめっちゃ緊張してるように感じたw
海!
おめでとうございます㊗️
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
清々しいお顔で、会見されている〰️海君!
自信と覚悟の闘いを、拝見できること、楽しみにしています!😉
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!👍💪
As a guy who watched anime for more than 15 years, the translator did a phenomenal job.
He comes to fight, I’ll watch
Can't wait to see what this guy is about
朝倉海!lets go ! 🔥😎
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!

Nah, he is not that good
9:50 i mean ufc has been to singapore and i know there isnt a big star from singapore so
my sun
The fact that this comment section is full of Japanese really shows that Asakura is a big draw
That's right
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
This kid winning would be so great for this overshadowed division.
This guy is legit! Go Kai!
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。😅
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。
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
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?
カッコイイ‼️チャンピオンに相応しい人、この人だ‼️
タリックさんの通訳 めっちゃ良い
Pay the interpreter
試合中に拳が折れなきゃ勝てると思う
今年一番の楽しみ!KO期待してます!🤜🤜🤜💥
Bro just set asked if he knew random Japanese athletes like they all know each other
Did he say Naruto?
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
タリック緊張😂
タリックサンアリガトウゴザイマス
次回勝利者インタビューはさえちゃんが通訳で登場します
좋은 시합 보여주길🙏
タリックさんの通訳流石すぎるな😳
"hopefully they'll come on my back"
?
頑張れよ
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。

やったれ!

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
大谷選手ともう一人
wwwwwwww
🙀🙀🙀
貫禄出た笑。日本にベルトを
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Wall of japanese 😅
Great for the division
Much love for Japan but he will not win
Don't cry when he gets choked out 😮
He like “netorale"
ntr
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
通訳がひどいな。
明らかに通訳が訳し切れてないところを、海が自分で英語聞いて判断してるところもちょこちょこある。
タリックさんだと思うけどどこらへんが酷い?
日本語は辿々しいところはありますが、日本語訳自体は割愛しても問題ないレベルです。逆に全ての裏事情を熟知しているので、理路整然と追英訳して補足出来ている箇所も有りますね👍
意訳はとても上手だと思います
もし本業の通訳なら、すぐに海選手の話に割り込んで、1文ごとに訳していきます。(本業の通訳であれば意訳や補足をしません。通訳は、文章を一切変えないのがルールです。短い1文ごとに海選手と通訳が交互に話していく形になります)。
その方が、聞き手に内容が誤解なく伝わります。海選手にとっても、通訳が英訳している間に次に話すことを頭の中でまとめられるので、失言のリスクが低くなるしリラックスしたインタビューになります。
はっきり言ってタリックじゃなかったら
叩かれてるレベルのクオリティ
He's a RUclipsr who's better at trash talking than martial arts.
結局日本語なんかい!とは思ってしまいました笑
大谷翔平もそうだけど、こういう正式なインタビューには誤解がないよう通訳置いた方が安全
そして通訳のレベルが低い。
でも逆に通訳が訳し切れてない質問を、ちゃんと海が英語でも聞いてて返答してるので、英語を話すことはまだ無理でも、言ってることは結構ちゃんと理解できてますよ。
いや問題ないよ、偉そうになんなんやお前は
チケット売れ残りまくり
まぁフライ級だし。海の事知らないし
たぶんほとんどの人がパントージャ勝つと思ってるから
買う必要ないと思ってるんだろうな
That sucks he doesn't speak english
He does speak some English now, is actively studying it and getting better. He probably understood the gist of most of the questions. However for this kind of press conference its best to have an interpreter so he can relax and convey exactly what he wants to.
@@shimewaza not that I have anything about the fighters that can't but I don't like to wait for the translation
He will get better now he can benefit from learning
Kai’s been learning English for a few years for the UFC, so he can speak it pretty well. The translator’s actually his friend’s dad and also his English teacher. He’s probably just letting him handle it ’cause he trusts him.
ちょいと無理かな流石に。立ち技だけで勝てないっしょ。リリースだと思う
夢がないなぁ。もうちょっと希望を持てよおっさん
@@masaru-t2g希望持たない方が幸せな時もある
I’d love to see Kai fight on the fc2 ppv next 😤😭
