On the 14th, RIZIN "LMS (LAST MAN STANDING)" champion Ren Hiramoto stepped into the ring during a break at the "K-1 WORLD GP 2024 in TOKYO ~FINAL~" held at the National Yoyogi Stadium First Gymnasium and declared that he would be breaking into the second part of the New Year's Eve "RIZIN DECADE" (Saitama Super Arena). For the second part of the three-part event, RIZIN CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara offered to produce it to Mikuru Asakura, who readily agreed, saying, "Why not have a match between my recommended fighter and a RIZIN fighter? BreakingDown fighters are getting stronger, too," and "Of course, let's do it." Hiramoto entered the ring for the 10th anniversary of the new K-1 with his friend Tatsuki Shinozuka and said, "It seems that Mikuru Asakura and President Sakakibara are going to do something on New Year's Eve, and I'm thinking of breaking into it with Black Rose. Is there a K-1 fighter who wants to beat up that group of amateurs? I want to beat up that group of amateurs who are just famous and acting cool. Is there a K-1 fighter out there? Someone who can join us." He called for unexpected members. The one who responded was Yasuo Asakusa, the 5th K-1 WORLD GP lightweight champion. Asakura entered the ring while Hiramoto and Shinozuka were surprised at the former champion's candidacy, saying, "You're kidding, right?" Asakura said, "I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately, and I've got a lot on my mind, so I want to go beat up RIZIN and those idiots with Black Rose." When Hiramoto asked, "Seriously? Are you sure?", Asakusa replied frankly, "I think I'm originally on this side too (laughs)." With powerful reinforcements, Hiramoto said, "I'm going to have some fun with you on New Year's Eve, so please support us." #RenHiramoto #TatsukiShinozuka #MikuAsakura #RIZIN #K1
