According to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, if Floyd Mayweather agrees to allow kicks in his upcoming contest with Tenshin Nasukawa in RIZIN, it could be the agreement that brings around his first defeat in combat sports.

Taking to his social media, Rogan reacted to the stunning news from last night, and told fans to look up Nasukawa to realise the situation Mayweather could potentially be facing.

“I’m sure many of you combat sports fans have heard that Floyd Mayweather has signed to face Tenshin Nasukawa in Japan on New Years Eve,” Rogan posted on Instagram. “I don’t know what kind of “special rules” they’re supposed to be fighting under but I just like the fact that it’s going to happen and that people get to google Tenshin’s name and see some of his fights. He’s a true striking genius.

“I doubt Floyd is going to agree to any rules that allow Tenshin to kick, but if he does it could be a terrible night for him. This kid is the truth.”

This kid is the truth. #Repost @tenshin.nasukawa ・・・ 僕に出来ることは格闘界を盛り上げることだと思います。 自分の人生の中で最大の出来事が現実になりました。 年末RIZINのリングでメイウェザーと戦うことになりました。 皆さんもビックリしていると思いますが僕もそうです。 こんなことは人生で二度とないと思います。 僕にはボクサーには無いタイミングのパンチがあります。 階級も違いますが、今の僕には関係ないです。 世界で誰も成し得なかった初めてメイウェザーをKOします。 僕は自分のこの拳で世界を変えます。 みなさん期待していてください。 #RIZIN14 #cygames #mayweather #tenshinnasukawa #チームで勝つ #平成最後 #大晦日
