Akira Maeda announced today that he is bringing RINGS back to life.
The return event is planned to take place in March of 2012 at Korakuen Hall. At first lighter weight classes will be the focus. Good fighters from The Outsider, ZST fighters who fought in The Outsider vs. ZST fights, fighters not belonging to any promotion, and fighters from other promotions could participate.
The aim is to eventually make a complete promotion with all weight classes involved. Fighters from Russia, Lithuania, and Australia will be scouted and invited like the old RINGS days.
The rules are not set yet but it will most likely not be KOK rules, expect a more modern rule-set.
Akira Maeda also announced that It’s Showtime Japan representative director and legendary Kickboxer Toshio Fujiwara will work as a judge in RINGS. So expect RINGS and STJ to cooperate when it comes to the business side of things.
