Ryan Wagner wrote about the wrestling skills of blue chip bantamweight prospect and former U23 world wrestling champion Rinya Nakamura. Lots of interesting observations, particularly about Rinya not yet showing a reactive shot to advancing opponents yet and his propensity to cage wrestle with orthodox opponents instead of shooting in open space. Definitely worth the read.

Rinya Nakamura out grapples Carlos Vera to earn UD.

Very much a dominant wrestler prospect meets a slippery leg lock guy type of fight. Nakamura got Vera down at will but found it hard to establish position or land GnP. Vera did a good job of using leg attacks to keep Nakamura moving on top, occupying him so he didn't land anything serious. Nakamura showed some great awareness while defending, never seriously getting stuck in an attack for that long but was unable to do any real damage or threaten with a serious submission of his own (though he got couple of attempts in). Also says in the post-fight that he might have broken his right hand, so that might explain some stuff. Still, this is a fight a lot of good prospects lose. There's a reason you'll have guys who are like 16-1 and champion but have an early career submission loss to some guy who's like 4-7 whatever. Leg locks can be the equalizer.

Spotlight | Rinya Nakamura

By: MMA WATCH

Japan's most interesting prospect returns to action. Former U23 World Champion freestyle wrestler Rinya Nakamura (8-0) will be back in the cage this week as he continues accruing cage time. One of the 'benefits' of the UFC signing every fighter with a pulse nowadays is that they are no longer just throwing every interesting Japanese prospect they have at the hardest possible match up imaginable. Cause while Nakamura's resume, athletic prowess, and potential are very apparent, being a good fighter comes down to time. Cage and training time. And Nakamura is only 3 years into MMA.

Nakamura will face off against Ecuador's Carlos Vera (11-3) at UFC 298 this Saturday (Feb. 17).

Rinya Nakamura vs Aleandro Caetano - Pound Storm

In terms of credentials, there are few fighters who enter MMA with better ones than Rinya Nakamura (6-0). He is a U23 Freestyle world champion, a 2018 World Cup bronze medalist, and a multi-time medalist at the Japan National Championships. And he has looked like a blue chip prospect as a part of the Road to UFC tournament series. He has reached the finals of the bantamweight tournament on the strength of back to back first round finishes.

Rinya Nakamura will face off fellow Japanese grappler, BJJ ace Toshiomi Kazama (10-2) in the finals this Saturday (Feb. 4) at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Spivac.

[theanticool]

I’m just going to talk about the fights I care about for this Singapore card. Honestly, not a whole lot of technical aspects to cover. Feels like a lot of the fights are going to be one sided. Bear with me.

Max Holloway vs Korean Zombie - This fight is sad. While Chan Sung Jung is still a top 10-15 fighter at featherweight, this match up could easily turn into a 5 rounds of a too tough for his own good KZ getting pieced up by Max Holloway a la Holloway-Kattar. I can’t knock it too much as it was the fight KZ asked for and with him being open about the end being near, give him one last big fight. He deserves it. But I expect sad times.

Giga Chikadze vs Alex Caceres - I strangely like this fight. While Caceres lacks a level of physicality and raw athleticism to hang with the top of the featherweight division, no striker by Cisco Rivera has ever been able to put him away. It’s always been big strong wrestle-grappling types who have been his foil. That said, I expect the technical, athletic, and power edge to carry Chiladze to decisive victory. Unless Giga has spent the last 17 months actively getting worse as a fighter, I think he should take it.

Rinya Nakamura vs. Fernie Garcia - according to Tapology, I have seen Fernie Garcia twice. The fact I can’t remember anything about him and that he lost twice to some guys does not bode well for him. This is a fight meant to get the UFC’s next big hopeful star, U23 wrestling world champ Rinya Nakamura some cage time. But I’m interested in seeing what improvements he’s made since Road to the UFC. He’s been working at ATT alongside Kyoji Horiguchi and them. Guy has a bright future!

Erin Blanchfield vs Taila Santos - the first proper competitive fight I’ll talk about. Erin Blanchfield has only grown more and more confident as a striker in the UFC. While the technical polish isn’t there, the power and aggressiveness are. In contrast, I’d argue the biggest thing that kept Taila Santos from straight up beating Valentina Shevchenko in her last fight was her unwillingness to exchange on the feet. Her reliance on Valentina feeding her takedowns as opposed to being able to use strikes to set them up herself meant when Valentina stopped, so did her opportunities. That said, if Blanchfield comes out guns blazing like she did against Andrade, she could find herself getting tied up and taken down. And while her top game is impressive, we have seen Blanchfield lose a bottom side grappling match to a physically imposing opponent (Tracy Cortez) before. Granted that was 4 years ago but still. I’m excited to see what new things both women have been working on since the last time we’ve seen them!

Kenan Song vs Rolando Bedoya - Song had a more competitive fight with Ian Garry than Neil Magny, which will always be funny to me. That said, i think it’s fair after 25+ fights to say that we’ve probably seen his ceiling. A fun action fighter who can and will be folded by fighters who are either more experienced or athletically gifted. So this fight with Bedoya has me intrigued, because I don’t think he’s either. But what he has shown is that he’s got some Alex Morono in him. Bedoya has a lot of intangibles that fighters who make long careers in fighting without competing for gold have. Good defensive instincts. Fills space with offense well. A guy like Song is the perfect test for him.

JJ Aldrich vs Na Liang - JJ Aldrich is the quintessential example you point to when you tell people this is a sport of athletes. Cause technically, she’s a darn good fighter. Great job. Solid striking. Ok wrestling. But because she is not fast, powerful, or physically imposing, she will occasionally get her doors blown off by a more athletic fighter like Maycee Barber or Erin Blanchfield. Like Aldrich was winning those fights in a lot ways before the other women just decided they were done and went in for the kill. Against Na Liang, I think it makes for an interesting fight.

SHIN HARAGUCHI HIGHLIGHTS

By: FIGHTsportTV

So far, the Road to UFC has done a good job of finding Japanese talent to bring in to the promotion. While it's too early to say for sure, Rei Tsuruya and Rinya Nakamura have been fun additions and look like they have a ton of potential. Shin Haraguchi (8-1) looks like he might join them. A former wrestler who competed internationally, Haraguchi has been physically overpowering the folks they put him in front of for Road to UFC. He finished as the runner up in the season 2 lightweight final but I guess he impressed enough to be invited back for season 3. He's down at featherweight for this season and is in the 2nd round of the tournament.

Haraguchi will face off with Kangjie Zhu (19-4) for Road to UFC: Las Vegas this Friday (Aug 23).
