Rizin FF 21 results: Mikuru Asakura scores knockout finish, gets unexpected challenge

BAD MMA News — Sat, 22 Feb 2020 11:16:45 +0000

Japanese featherweight star Mikuru Asakura produced a crowd-pleasing finish to defeat Mexico’s Daniel Salas in their 150-pound bout at Rizin FF 21 in Shizuoka, Japan, then received an unexpected callout from a former champion. Salas mixed up his strikes well in the opening round and looked to use his jab and reach to work from range, but was countered with stiff, crisp southpaw shots from Asakura, whose punches looked much more solid than those of the Mexican. That power advantage was evident in the final seconds of the round when Asakura first connected with a head kick, then landed a powerful right hand that briefly stunned Salas.

Vera hadn’t fought since early December 2016 and had been away thanks to a starring role in the action film “Buy Bust,” which has been the year’s biggest movie in the Philippines, where Vera, of Filipino descent, has become a national film star.

ONE Championship 61 results and gifs: Main-event ref blunder, 11-second face-plant

BAD MMA News — Sat, 16 Sep 2017 17:08:33 +0000

Today’s ONE Championship 61 main event went the distance, but the flyweight bout was spoiled in the first round by an apparent referee blunder. Facing Kairat Akhmetov (21-1), Geje Eustaquio (9-6) unloaded a flush upkick – totally legal under ONE Championship’s rules – but referee Yuji Shimada inexplicably called a timeout. Instead of awarding the knockout stoppage, the ref continued to fight, and Akhmetov rallied to pick up a narrow split-decision win. Here’s the kick in question (via Twitter ): That was a completely LEGAL upkick by Eustaquio. What the hell Shimada? pic.twitter.com/g5DIoz99DG — caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) September 16, 2017 ONE FC's officials are highly competent, there's been nearly no controversy in promotion's history
