Nearly a week has passed, but Japan is still unable to escape from the nightmare of the time. This is because of the shocking defeat suffered by Japan's representative fighter Mikuru Asakura (33).
Mikuru challenged unbeaten champion Sheirajabali Sheidulaev (25, Kyrgyzstan) in the featherweight title match of the RIZIN main event held at Saitama Super Arena in Japan on December 31 last year, but lost to TKO in 2 minutes and 54 seconds in the first round.
It was a short time, but it hit the ring several times throughout the game and was beaten 34 times. Asakura, who couldn't get up easily even after the game, ended up having a nausea and was eventually diagnosed with an orbital fracture as a result of moving to the hospital for examination.
On the 5th, Japanese media No.Web said, "Asakura's consciousness flew away. "It was an easy match," Sheidulaev, who played a series of fear-mongering hits, reported.
Maybe it was foreseen from the beginning. Sheidulaev has won five consecutive games since his debut at RIZIN in June 2024, and there was talk that there was no suitable opponent. On December 31, 2024, he overwhelmingly defeated Kubo Utah and then finished both Kleber Koike and Victor Kolesnick early in the first round. Asakura was also said to be at a disadvantage, but it was not easy to find such a challenger. Number Web explained the situation at the time, saying, "Asakura is the only one."
Asakura, who is called the most successful fighter in Japanese history, also had an outstanding career and raised expectations that he could accomplish something. However, even though the game ended too quickly, the difference in performance was so clear that it left a more shocking impact than any other game.
Sheidulaev has drawn a series of techniques that are common in professional wrestling rather than mixed martial arts. The damage to Asakura has been aggravated by trying the Suplex technique several times, which increases the opponent high and hits the floor backward. Sheidulaev explained the reason, "I wanted to show a powerful and great performance so that the stadium would run even further." It is also proof that the difference in skills has been so great.
As it is already known, Asakura complained of nausea after the complete defeat, and the staff also confirmed that the situation was unusual. Eventually, Asakura moved to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with an orbital fracture.
There is another shocking fact. Asakura did not hide his surprise at Sheidulaev's destructive ability and high accuracy in the foundation on YouTube the next day, saying, "I think I lost consciousness during the game because I got hit in the back of my ear a lot," adding, "I felt like I was going to lose consciousness every time because the foundation was a power I had never tasted before."
If the back of the ear is hit, the function of the equilibrium organ (preventive organ) is deteriorated, and it is easy to lose the sense of balance. "Sheidulaev continued to pound to target it," No. Web said.
Asakura said, "I kept feeling sick after the game. If the eye is broken, I feel nauseous. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance and I felt like I was going to keep throwing up every time I applied the brakes. When I lay down, I felt nauseous, so I kept sitting down," he confessed.
However, to name a regret, it is the time when the referee declared TKO. In Japan, stories related to this continue to emerge. Sheidulaev also said, "I thought I would dry it faster," and added, "I didn't think I won the game while I was grounding. In this state, he might get up. That's what I thought, and I hit it." As a result, Sheidulaev launched a foundry attack with all his might until the referee stopped it, and the situation worsened.
He turned 34 and suffered a shocking defeat. "Asakura is once again facing a crisis, just like when she announced her retirement once," No. Web said of Asakura.
