RIZIN CONFESSIONS is back with RIZIN CONFESSIONS #22!
In the most recent installment, #22 sees the focus shift solely to the lead-up of RIZIN 13 next weekend. The last episode featured lots of Tenshin/Horiguchi talk, a prime spot regarding Osunaarashi’s debut, and an emotional moment with Miyuu Yamamoto.
This new ‘CONFESSIONS’ sees even more focus on Tenshin/Horiguchi, a spotlight on upcoming debutant Taiga, a little bit of the Asakura Brothers, and a brief piece on Mirko Cro Cop.
