“Japan does it differently than others!” This was true during the ceremonial weigh-ins of Rizin 40. Fighter Nobumitsu Osawa thought of bringing some entertainment to the stage by coming out with a little unorthodox style. Rizin 40 is going to take place at the Saitama Super Arena in which fighters from Bellator and Rizin will fight against each other.
Nobumitsu Osawa is all set to take on opponent Johnny Case in a lightweight bout. During the weigh-ins, Osawa certainly did his best to make an impression. The fighter decided to show up to the weigh-ins naked holding a metal plate above his private area and a bow tie.
The fighter must have planned it all beforehand and managed to execute with perfection and full confidence. As both the fighters posed for the camera, Chase was very close to tricking Osawa to raise both of his hands leaving him unprotected in the bottom. However, the Japanese fighter was careful and successfully returned to the sidelines without facing any wardrobe malfunctions ahead of RIZIN 40.
It certainly was one of the most hilarious and weird weigh-ins in the history of MMA promotions. Fighters always find creative ways to make events such as this more and more entertaining for the fans to enjoy.
