Prelim Pick of the Week: RIZIN NYE
RIZIN Catchweight Fight: Tatsuya Saika vs Noah Bey
Start Time: Tuesday (12/30) 11:00pm EST (Internet PPV)
If you’re missing MMA action during the winter months, look no further than a packed RIZIN NYE card on Tuesday. Not only do they have an action packed main card with five title fights, but they also have plenty of prelims with names you should know. One of the very best values on the card comes from those early fights.
Way early on the prelims, we have LFA-veteran Noah Bey throwing down. Despite his less-than-impressive 5-3 record, Bey is a solid prospect. He comes to us by way of the world of kickboxing and it shows. He has some insane power with his hands and legs, and isn’t afraid to let loose. While he has still not quite caught up in the grappling department, that shouldn’t matter in this one.
Standing across from him is a late replacement. Tatsuya Saika is taking this on short notice for Ilkhom Nazimov, who got bumped up into a title fight. Saika is a guy who also relies on his ability to knock out fighters, but has had issues with people far worse than Bey. Give him less time to prepare and there is even more not to like.
Expect Bey to land early and often en route to another big KO.
