Fights will be Rizin rules (grounded knees and soccer kicks OK) and be in a ring rather than a cage

i think bellator wins the first 4 and I’ll throw all of them in a parlay

McKee vs Satoshi is interesting. McKee fights wild and that plays into Roberto de Souza’s hands. If Spike Carlisle can find the back then Satoshi can too. McKee would play a conservative striking game and pick him apart from the outside if he’s smart but he’s kind of a wild one. If this hits the ground McKee will be in trouble

I wonder how much of a difference maker it'll be that McKee hasn't fought in a ring before

Not really interested in this because of the tape delay thing. Plus, I don't really know anything about the Rizin fighters. Will catch some highlights.

The Showtime PPV will be but you'll probably still be able to find some stream for the live Japanese broadcast if you want to watch it live
