Zane Simon & Victor Rodriguez are joined by Damon Okoro to breakdown the upcoming RIZIN New Year's Eve event from Saitama, Japan, which will be broadcast on Fite.tv & Battlezone.tv available by internet stream at 1AM/10PM ET/PT Dec 30-Dec 31. (However, Floyd Mayweather vs. Tenshin Nasukawa will not be available to North American viewers via those services.) With picks and analysis for every fight from RIZIN 14 & Yarennoka. The event will be headlined by kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasuwaka who will take on multiple weight World Champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., in a 3-round exhibition boxing match. Also rounding out the card are the inaugural Rizin Bantamweight and Super Atomweight Championships. We will travel on down the card all the way to the opening prelim match between Rena Kubota and Samantha Jean-Francois. The new year is almost upon us, which means that Japanese MMA’s largest promotion is primed for their annual over-the-top blowout event. And this year RIZIN has pulled out all the stops, as we mentioned, by grabbing none other than boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. for a boxing exhibition bout against world class kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. The event will also feature a champion vs. champion superfight, as Bellator’s Darrion Caldwell crosses the Pacific to take on Kyoji Horiguchi; alongside Gabi Garcia, Daron Cruickshank, Justin Scoggins, and a variety of home-grown elite talent it should be a night to remember.
