Can anyone help with the Walkout songs and intros of the Rizin 49 Decade just gone?

Was there live and was blown away by the amazing production. I know some were just generic beats that just suited the individual fighter but any help on the actual songs in the video packages?

Im sure they said something like it was produced by the older Asakura brother or something?

Thabks in Advance

Trying to get into MMA/martial arts but I need something that won't kill my feet. thinking most striking is out of the equation unless someone else has had similar experiences?

I have a background in wrestling/gymnastics if that helps narrow it down, not as limber as I used to be though.

I’ve won 3 fights since my last AMA and I’m here to answer more questions!! It doesn’t have to be related to me, I can answer questions and offer insight for the things to come in 2025 on the big shows like the UFC, PFL, ONE, GFL etc!

we've seen a few occassions of Old Guard vs New Guard matchups, some notable ones

Gaethje vs Fiziev

Poirier vs BSD

Arman vs Charles

Hooker vs Nasrat/Claudio/Jalin/Gamrot

Dariush vs Gamrot/Tsarukyan

it feels like most of the time the old guard come out on top which makes for an unfortunate stall in the division where the prospects don't seem to be on par.

something i've noticed though, is that the old guard aren't really DOMINATING these new guys, for example

Justin barely edged a decision vs Rafa

DP beat BSD (perhaps one of the worse prospects) after getting dominated for a round and a half

Arman nuked Beneil and beat Charles

Dan barely edged decisions vs Gamrot & Jalin

these old guys don't seem to have the new guard particularly too outmatched, they kinda just pull wins out of their asses after facing extreme adversity.

when do you guys predict we will see a pivotal change in the division? and how much better do you think the old guard are than the new guard?

if you were to do Dustin Poirier vs Ludovit Klein, would that be competitive? could Chase Hooper beat Charles Oliveira? can Joel Alvarez KO Justin Gaethje? could Esteban Ribovics beat up Michael Chandler?

do you think the new guards lack of success is attributed to them just being flat out worse, or moreso the fact that the old guard barely ever fight down?
