Predictions: 6 of 7 Winners, 3 Perfect, 440 Points   |   Tied for 62nd

After a fun night of fights in Vegas, we are set for the grand finale to the Fight Rock Festival in the legendary Saitama Super Arena as RIZIN's New Year's Eve card is set to begin.  We will see the crowning of two new champions at Atomweight and Bantamweight, as well as a 4 man kickboxing tourney and the potential swan songs of Mirko Cro Cop and Takanori Gomi.

I am so amped for this card since the last New Year's Eve card, so let's do this ****.  RIZIN NEVER DIE!

This fight is going to be good.  People are favoring Horiguchi, but Kape might pull off the upset.

Horiguchi is in the top 4 flyweights in the world he would have had a Johnson rematch by now if he stayed in the ufc and he would have had plenty for him with more experience. I don’t think kape has anything for horiguchi

That flying knee was so amazing.  And to think Tenshin is only 19. Kid is only going to get better from here.

Rena vs. Asakura is the most interesting stylistic match-up that could've came from this tournament. Glad it's happening. War Rena.
