Hiromasa Ougikubo bested Naoki Inoue and Kai Asakura to capture the Rizin Bantamweight Grand Prix championship. This transpired on December 30th, 2021 with Rizin 33 at Saitama Super Arena.
I spoke with Ougikubo after this remarkable accomplishment and we covered several subjects such as: -How Ougikubo is doing following this momentous night
-Getting engaged after proposing to his girlfriend on the Rizin NYE card
-The methodology backstage maintaining oneself between the first and second fights in a one-night tournament
-Ougikubo himself being the most daunting opponent beyond Inoue and Asakura
-Garnering two underdog victories to capture the Rizin bantamweight grand prix title
-avenging his loss in the finals to Kai Asakura and the feelings associated with that
-If the Grand Prix title holds supreme value or if challenging for that belt Kyoji Horiguchi has and garnering that will be the ultimate capstone
-Fighting for Shooto as well as Vale Tudo Japan and the rich traditions those promotions have
-Ougikubo thinking about hanging them up several times and what ultimately keeps bringing him back to competing each time
-What Hiromasa Ougikubo does outside of fighting to find happiness
-Ougikubo playing guitar and if he plays in a band
