Super RIZIN/RIZIN 38 preview: Mayweather vs Asakura part of Saitama doubleheader

Well, folks... it’s gonna keep happening.

Floyd Mayweather has found yet again an opportunity under RIZIN to face a relative novice for an unreasonable sum of money. This time, it’s MMA bad boy Mikuru Asakura stepping in against the 50-0 former champ. And good for him.

Seriously, if he gets a bigger payday, the best we can hope for is that this increases visibility for Asakura. Seems like every other sign is pointing to this being a terrible idea, but it’s already been agreed to by all parties. No backsies.

The only thing that’s truly been interesting is the lead-up.
