Japanese star Ren
Hiramoto is rallying for an
Ultimate Fighting Championship contract.

Hiramoto recently urged UFC CEO Dana White to give him a contract,
vowing to be the next superstar of the promotion. The runner-up in
the 2017 K-1 lightweight tournament, Hiramoto is currently
competing in the
Rizin Fighting Federation featherweight division. The
26-year-old is 4-3 as a pro with one finish to his name.
Hiramoto recently called for a UFC deal while dismissing
recently-signed UFC fighter Kai
Asakura, who was given an immediate title shot against
flyweight champ Alexandre
Pantoja in his promotional debut. “The Cannibal” submitted
Asakura in the second round to successfully defend his throne in
the UFC 310 headliner on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
Vegas.
Meanwhile, Hiramoto is coming off a knockout win over Asakura’s
brother, Mikuru
Asakura, this past July at Super Rizin 3. Prior to that bout,
Hiramoto visited the SBG Gym in Ireland, where he trained with
Conor
McGregor.
Hiramoto now promises to carry forward the legacy of McGregor if
offered a UFC contract.
“Hey Dana, I am the man who will carry on the will of the great
Conor
McGregor,” Hiramoto wrote on X. “I’m going to be UFC champion.
Kai
Asakura, for example, is a champion who can only fight three
rounds. I am the first Rizin champion to fight five rounds. I’m
going to make the UFC great!”
