Who Is Kai Asakura & How Good Is He?

In this video, I discuss the UFC's recent signing of RIZIN star Kai Asakura! Not only does Kai have an exciting fighting style, but he has a huge presence on KZbin. Here are my thoughts on the signing. Let me know what you all think down in the comments!

I misspoke about the Kape saga. Kai and Manel are 1-1 against each other.

Happy to see Kai get signed. Hopefully, Mikuru follows soon🙂

[@JakeGerberMMA]

For sure! That’d be dope

[@OnTheLiverMMA]

I haven’t kept in touch with Rizin but seeing such a massive star from Japan come into the UFC is something the UFC has needed for a while. Taira is great and could be champ if he beats Perez, fights a few other guys and makes some adjustments but Kai is already a defined and well renowned Japanese star. Putting some clams into this market would be AMAZING for the UFC

[@JakeGerberMMA]

100 percent!

[@oskarsalas3059]

If he develops take down defense, he will be a new type of monster.

[@JakeGerberMMA]

For sure!

I see Kai the same way i saw MVP that this fight is gonna show whether they're the real deal

[@JakeGerberMMA]

Agreed! 👍 I think he gets a crazy matchup in his debut

[@torronbrown4107]

This kid is a beast Sean o malley better watch out

[@JakeGerberMMA]

He's good but Sean beats him

[@RTA138]

I don’t mean to sound like the “well actually” guy but I believe he’s 1-1 with Kape. I’d love to see the trilogy in the UFC

[@JakeGerberMMA]

You right I missed that!

[@KlossMMA]

I want him to debut against Kyler Phillips

[@JakeGerberMMA]

That'd be a fun fight

[@svensvensonmma]

UFC hoping to feed him to Sean and Sean take a lot of his fan base

[@JakeGerberMMA]

That could be. But I think they are trying to build the Japan market also

[@knifejail]

Meh… he is popular but not a dominating fighter.

[@JakeGerberMMA]

Truth!

[@MoSalah-cr4yy]

He is a mediocre

[@JakeGerberMMA]

For UFC standards
