Kai Asakura thinks he is more marketable than Alexandre Pantoja

On December 7, Rizin legend Kai Asakura will attempt to capture UFC gold in his first-ever fight in the promotion when he challenges Alexandre Pantoja.

However, the task ahead will be anything but easy as the Brazilian has proven his skills beyond doubt in the most important organization in the world.

Regardless, Asakura is confident he has the minerals to get the job done, and also claims it would be beneficial to the company if he became the poster boy for the 125-pound division.

The talented striker believes he has the perfect style to capture the public's imagination.

Asakura told MMA Junkie: “Let's be honest, it's a good thing for the UFC if I win. I'm here to make it exciting so people are interested in the flyweight division and have a whole bunch of new matchups lined up for future shows.

“I hope one day Dana White will turn to the public and say this kid is a special KO artist, a KO machine.”

And that's partly because he has a very reliable insight into what it's like to go toe-to-toe with Asakura.
