Fedor will not be fighting in April. Later in year#rizin#rizinff#mma#prideneverdies#fedor#jmma#japan#tokyo
Yeah, great, now what are they going to do for a main event for April?
Let's face it, they can't rely solely only on Fedor to draw in numbers. They have to find more draws, Fedor is 39 and he sure as hell won't be fighting on each one of their events if they want to have 4 - 6 events per year. I was hoping he'd fight in April because he literally received 0 damage in his fight against Singh, but I realize that pre-fight campsand pr events might also be taking a toll.
When it comes to heavyweights, I'd like to see two contenders that would fight each other with the winner facing Fedor in August, in the huge stadium they want to fill in Tokyo. For instance any of the following would be of interest:
Couture vs Kosaka
Ray Sefo vs Tito Ortiz
Rampage vs Blagoi Ivanov
On the other weight divisions, I would very much like to see if they could get One to give them Ben Askren for an event or two per year. They did manage to strike a deal for Aoki so I hope something similar could take place for Ben as well. I would expect them to do that for their fight in the big stadium in August.
It's kind of obvious that Fedor is making his come-back to bring more focus to his younger fighters. I would love to see Nemkov fight again some other skilled LHW or HW and if he wins give him a rematch against Jiri in August. I feel like we didn't see the best out of those two guys due to the tournament format. Give one more fight to Tokov and if he wins have him fight Askren in August.
The fight you already mentioned Kron Gracie vs Aoki, would be great for the August event. I think for now maybe they pull something off like
Yamamoto vs Aoki
Kron Gracie vs Takanori Gomi
Let's see how it all turns out. I'm interested to see what they put together for April. Fedor's absence will give them incentive to pull in at least one more big name I guess.
Kron beat Aoki at Metamoris
Blagoi beat Fedor in sambo
They should have those fights on the same card, market them as Aoki and Fedor trying to avenge those losses

Dont care. Randy was NEVER a true threat to Fedor. Just the fucktard zuffabois were hoping he could be the one to dethrone the goat.
I'd like to see that fight. With Aoki's attitude and Kron's lineage, they could be the next big chapter in the Japan vs the Gracies rivalry. It could be epic and I think Rizin needs something like that. They need a big fight with a big storyline. That's part of what made Pride so interesting, the almost pro wrestling-esque rivalries.
Nah, fairly sure that's just talk- last I heard Tito had said he wanted a year off after the McGeary fight to heal up.
