Rizin 10 Fukuoka Predictions

Picture
This Sunday, Rizin puts on which will most likely be another fantastic show. If you’ve never heard of Rizin, I’ll explain it. Rizin MMA is a Japanese MMA promotion which was formed in 2015 and have put on several events since launching. This is Rizin’s 12th event and the card looks stacked. Rizin is not like any other MMA promotion out there and that’s a fact. I’m going to predict the last 6 fights rather than the whole card.

Issei Ishii Vs. Daishin Sakai (Strawweight)

This fight should be a good one and the fight is a kickboxing rules match which makes the fight even more exciting. The Sunrise Prince makes his return to fight Sakai after getting a victory over Nong Rose via TKO.

My Prediction for this one is Issei Ishii
Picture
Koshi Matsumoto Vs. Daron Cruickshank (Lightweight)

Cruickshank got released from the UFC in 2016 but he quickly found his groove in Rizin, he won his first two fights but lost his next two so hopefully he can pick up the big win here against Matsumoto. Matsumoto has 19 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws.

I think Koshi Matsumoto will win this one.

Picture
Diego Nunes Vs. Yusuke Yachi (Lightweight)

This is Diego Nunes’ first fight for Rizin and has previously fought for the UFC, Bellator and the WEC. Yachi has fought in many fights and has a record of 19 wins and 6 losses.

I predict Yusuke Yachi.

Picture
Kanna Asakura Vs. Melissa Karagianis (Super Atomweight)

I think Kanna Asakura will win this fight, in my opinion. Plain and simple.

Picture
Tenshin Nasukawa Vs. Yusuka Nakamura (FLYWEIGHT)

Nasukawa is currently balancing both MMA & kickboxing which is really impressive to be honest. This fight will be a kickboxing rules match so this fight is going to be really good. He is 4-0 in MMA but let’s look at his opponent’s record. His record is 14-5 with one draw. By just looking at their records, you’d think this is a mismatched fight, but you’d be wrong. Whoever wins this fight, their win doesn’t get added to their MMA Record and that’s why Nasukawa’s Record is only at 4-0 as he is 25-0 in kickboxing.

Tenshin Nasukawa will pick up the win I think.

Picture
Ian McCall Vs. Kyoji Horiguchi (BANTAMWEIGHT)

And finally the mainevent of the show is between McCall & Horiguchi. This should be a great batamweight fight and a great fight to headline any MMA show. Horiguchi has only suffered 2 losses and the second came to UFC flyweight champion, Demetrious Johnson. McCall on the other hand has suffered 6 losses, one also came to Demetrious Johnson in the flyweight semi-final. This is going to be a fantastic fight.

For the mainevent, I thkmk Kyoji Horiguchi will come out on top.
