If Kyshenko needs opponents he should just send promoters pictures of himself in profile view and pretend to be Joe Riggs

Tenshin's opponent will be determined from volunteers (RIZIN is accepting submissions till December 4th on its site). The interesting thing here is to see if any K-1 Japan fighters are willing to try it out. Takeru vs Tenshin for NYE got shot down when Takada suggested it earlier this year, so I guess RIZIN is out of ideas or goading K-1 into it.

GoH boss talked about their numbers at some event of their tv partner. Viewership-wise same size as Glory if we believe the numbers they've both given out this year. Both at 800mil+ total/yr over all services.
Some other things he's talked about lately:
Claims they stopped losing money halfway into this year which would be a little surprising to me tbh but they have had some changes so who knows. Talked about their international tv deals just mentioning countries and areas and knowing at least some of those doesn't seem they have much significant distribution outside China other than sometimes in France and Thailand.
Their new offices/gym/whatever with an event venue scheduled to open in October 2018, want to build it into a Korakuen type destination. They have a big real estate company partner and they're building another place like that in the south of China. They've also opened/opening a location in Thailand somewhere. Same people who've basically produced almost all of the younger Chinese kickboxing talent. If they can scale that up to more locations than just the big old main gym then should be good things for the sport.
Interesting to see how they do in 2018. 2017 been quite messy, lost fighters, tv, plans been completely changed during the year etc. Next year supposedly more consistent schedule.
Next event Dec 23, QJL/Salvador/TBA/TBA 4-man for the first GoH belt I believe.

The first name that comes to mind who would actually jump on this is Kimura, but then there's the weight difference and the trauma he must've experienced when he got embarassed by Krazy Horse at Rizin last year. |

 It's a year away and it's Enfusion so who knows what'll end up happening, but I really like this matchup! |

Overeem is a legit good guy. He's around town here training occasionally and everyone that's dealt with him has had nothing but good things to say about him. I invited him over to play UFC 2 at one point and he laughed, but then actually tried to make it happen. dude you have to pressure him into a game session. you almost had him don't give up. |

This has silly, disappointing bullshit written all over it. I get that there's no earthly reason for K-1 to put a golden goose on somebody else's farm, but damn it would be so cool |

He may be trolling us, but Ozawa Kaito just went out and "liked" about a dozen tweets that suggest he should volunteer. Would be the right weight plus he could actually put up a fight against Tenshin. |

Next event Dec 23, QJL/Salvador/TBA/TBA 4-man for the first GoH belt I believe. Salvador vs. Chikadze QJL vs. TBA Giga replaced some Chinese fighter who got injured. They're teasing maybe QJL will fight some Glory top10 ranked guy too. |

Looks like Uliyanov
----
en.kunlunjue.com/
Looks like you can buy access to the Kunlun events on that site now. Assuming not just VODs but that you could watch the livestreams too? $5.99 for Kunlun that should be with English commentary.
