Plus biggest loser I have ever come across in my life is involved” (via Twitter ): No thanks! PRIDE FC > Rizin. ]]> Filed under: Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , Videos When veteran commentator Mauro Ranallo put on a headset and called the action at Rizin FF 5, it wasn’t because he longed to return to Japanese MMA. In fact, Ranallo’s exit in 2006 from the now-defunct PRIDE FC was followed by an expose of behind-the-scenes mistreatment penned by his broadcast partner, Bas Rutten. Ranallo largely kept quiet about the man who soured his time overseas, an impressive task for a man who can shred microphones with one scream. But over the years, he made it clear who he held responsible for his departure: Jerry Millen, a former PRIDE executive who resurfaced as a senior vice president for the new Japanese MMA promotion Rizin FF. When former PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko announced his return to Japan for Rizin FF, Ranallo posted, “Too bad the worst person I have ever encountered in MMA is in the cage ! #YouKnowWhoIMean (via Twitter ): Too bad the worst person I have ever encountered in MMA is in the cage ! #YouKnowWhoIMean — Mauro Ranallo (@mauroranallo) September 20, 2015 When a fan got wistful about his connection to Japanese MMA during a Rizin FF event, he wrote, “No thanks! PRIDE FC > Rizin. Plus biggest loser I have ever come across in my life is involved” (via Twitter ): No thanks! PRIDE FC > Rizin.

It was announced Friday that veteran MMA announcer Mauro Ranallo and MMA pioneer Frank Shamrock will call the action for the promotion’s PPV, which takes place Sunday at Yokohama Arena in Japan and streams live (2 a.m. ET/11 p.m. PT) on FITE TV. Ranallo and Shamrock are no strangers to each other as they regularly called Strikeforce events together on Showtime until the promotion’s acquisition and eventual merger by the UFC in 2013.

Thrust into a sudden explosion of violence, he was forced to adapt – quickly. Eight years had passed since Herring stepped into the ring against Amir Aliakbari, a world champion wrestler who’d missed out of the 2012 Olympics due to a doping violation. He’d had only two weeks to prepare for the Rizin open weight grand prix, a competition he’d rejected offers to join because, well, he hadn’t fought in eight years. To say Aliakbari gave him a rude awakening would be an understatement.
