I don't know if MMA has heels, so I say that Takakenshin cherishes the role of a villain - he wants to make sure nobody will be rooting for him in his fights: "I decided to definitely get my opponent stained in blood". He said before that he always wanted to hit people and now is happy that he'll be "earning money by hitting people".

Katooshu 2,338 Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) His standup was decent for a novice MMA fighter, but as soon as Shrek decided to grapple that was it. Handled like it was man vs boy. As much as I dislike him it got uncomfortable to watch at the end. Edited April 16, 2022 by Katooshu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 34,306 Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Next opponent for Sudario at RIZIN39 on the 23rd in Fukuoka is Janos Csukas from somehow Hungary (on the Japanese side https://jp.rizinff.com/_ct/17575337) but usually from Romania https://jp.rizinff.com/_ct/17575854 Quote Since tasting his first defeat as a professional MMA fighter, Sudario has scored quick back-to-back KO victories over SAINT and Hideki ‘Shrek’ Sekine, in a combined 2 minutes 44 seconds. He now is granted his wish of facing international competition in the form of the unbeaten Romanian, Janos Csukas. Carrying a 7-0 record with 6 KOs and 1 submission - the former WCMMA Heavyweight Champion has won all of his bouts in the first round. His longest bout lasted 3 minutes and 24 seconds, with the rest of his bouts ending at or under 1 minute and 46 seconds. He has 4 finishes in under a minute. There is little doubt that this heavyweight tilt will be a fan-friendly affair. https://jp.rizinff.com/_tags/スダリオ剛 Sudario is now attached to High Rollers Entertainment https://hi-rollers.tokyo/fighter.html and no longer to Purebred (VPN needed) with his (apparently former) trainer Enson Inoue wiki/Enson_Inoue#Other_activities Edit: Sudario is not on the poster for the event https://d1uzk9o9cg136f.cloudfront.net/f/16782696/rc/2022/10/07/b0c1bac44614569184c88e1b71bce5f95232a8fc_xlarge.jpg Edited October 7, 2022 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rokudenashi 155 Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Today Takakenshin made a surprise appearance at a press conference ahead of the upcoming Antonio Inoki memorial “BOM-BA-YE” event, co-promoted by Ganryūjima and Inoki Genki Factory, scheduled for December 28th at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan. In the middle of the press conference, former Takanofuji Tadao Yasuda appeared - wearing a hard hat and proclaiming to be on “break from work” (a tongue-in-cheek reference to his recent purported occupation as a safety officer for railways), pulling Takakenshin on stage with him in an appeal to producer Naoya Ogawa - “please give him a fight!” he pleaded before hastily rushing off back to “work”. Ogawa, clearly convinced by Yasuda’s expert salesmanship granted the request, with promoter Sadaharu Tanikawa agreeing that it would be a waste for Takakenshin to come all this way just for a photo with Ogawa. Totally a pro wrestling angle… who knows, maybe Takakenshin will have to resort to that if he loses this one Source: http://battle-news.com/?p=92751 Edited December 10, 2022 by rokudenashi 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
