Arsen was sent to live in Hungary at 12 years old to train in Greco Roman wrestling. He's still a teenager, and 0-0 at that so I'm surprised they're having him fight a Gracie, no matter how inexperienced.

I dunno, I think it makes a a lot of sense. Rizin can get a lot of miles out of promoting a fight with Kron. Both have a fair bit of buzz around them.
Actually, I find it surprising Arsen attracts as much attention as he does. I don't follow Japanese wrestling at all but couldn't escape reading about his return to Japan to compete earlier this year on various sports sites. Then a couple of days later he turns up on telly on the news' sports section after he lost. I still don't get it. A kid loses in the semi-final of a junior wrestling tournament then does a press conference on TV.
From Arsen's side, I imagine Kron looks like a very good appoint. BJJ. Grappling. Looks much less dangerous than, say, some second generation Karate monster that'll try and knock his head off. I mean, I suspect they're just interested in taking the big pay off of one fight then back to wrestling. Unless, his loss earlier in the year put Rio Olympics ambitions to bed?

I read on Sherdog that they want to make Sapp vs. Akebono...
I really hope that this isn't true lol.

I've got serious doubts about Fedor vs. TK being true. I mean, while they were building up hype saying they were gonna announce Fedor's opponent in this many days etc, they made a separate announcement about TK coming back. If Rizin were gonna hype it up you'd imagine they'd announce TK out of the blue. Plus, the hardcore's love TK but I really don't think your average viewer would be any more interested in him fighting Fedor than Singh. Saying that, Rizin are clearly a bit all over the place so who knows. EDIT: Just had a quick search and saw the following. I literally have to hold back from vomiting all over my keyboard as I type this but, here's a quote from Jerry Millen... |

So it's official, TK's opponent is gonna be James Thompson, which has got me all pumped up like...  Also TK-Fedor proves to be another baseless rumour, reported by the American MMA media as fact, to be utter bollocks. Can only imagine what would happen to their press credentials if they went around reporting on the UFC like that.

It might be announced, but JT tore his hamstring just a couple of weeks ago. I'll believe it when he's in the ring.

It looked nasty after the fight, but I remember reading somewhere he's out for a month. Just enough time to get back in the gym and dust off the old Gong & Dash.  |
