at its year-end event.
RIZIN boss Sakakibara says, "I will do my best to make it happen."
Do you guys think Rickson will allow his son to fight him?
No way but I can tell you this if it hits the ground Kron will strangle him.
The crusher is at the tail end of his career but he's still too experienced for Kron at this point.
Obviously a big name though so possibly but i doubt it.
It would be a dangerous fight for Kron. Kawajiri has really good takedown defense and heavy hands
Too soon

I kind of like it,, but should be pointed out that Crusher has 47 pro fights, and Kron has 3.
Japanese MMA has a long history of making fights that some other AC's woudn't, so maybe we'll see it happen. I honestly think Kron would be the favorite, no disrespect to Kawajiri. Crusher is better than Kron striking, but not enough better to keep Kron from wrapping him up, and dominating hiim with grappling. I'm not so sure Kron subs him (maybe he does), but I definitely see Kron dominating him positionally and with sub attempts.
If you aren't the elite of elite in bjj Kron can sub you...
Hes on some next level
Not Rickson or Liborio just yet
But he's close.

Do you think Rickson will agree to let Kron fight him?
I'd be down with that
Too soon but I think it would be a good fight!

No clue
I didn't think he would be fighting a guy as experienced as tokoro in his 3rd fight.

Sakakibara's English is probably 10 times better than yours.
Interesting matchup of experienced mma top heavy grappling/gnp vs elite pure grappling without much mma experience.
