RIZIN 7

About This Movie

RIZIN 7 is one of those events that captures the raw energy of the sport, showcasing the intense atmosphere of mixed martial arts without any frills. Fukuoka's Marine Messe sets a vibrant backdrop, where the crowd's roar amplifies the fighters’ grit and determination. The pacing is relentless, with bouts that ebb and flow, revealing the strategic minds behind the brawn. This installment in the Rizin series, while not helmed by a famous director, has a certain underground charm, representing a moment in time where combat sports were evolving in Japan. It's a snapshot of the sport's visceral nature, with practical effects seen in the fighters' scrapes and bruises adding authenticity to the experience.

RIZIN 7, released in 2017, has a certain scarcity due to its niche appeal within mixed martial arts collectors. The event is often sought after, especially among those who appreciate the evolution of MMA in Japan. Various formats exist, but the DVD releases are particularly limited, making it a unique find for serious collectors interested in the Rizin series and its historical context.
