Find Something In Life You Love As Much As Japanese UFC Fighter Rinya Nakamura Loves Being Able To Gamble In Las Vegas
Rinya Nakamura barely needed to put in a minute of work to get the win over Nathan Fletcher on Saturday night at UFC Vegas 108. He landed a debilitating body kick, took him to the ground, and that was all she wrote. You couldn't script a better win. Didn't take any damage himself, and took home a little over $70,000 for 62 seconds of work.
And on top of it all...he still had an entire night in Vegas ahead of him. So what's a man to do in Vegas after winning a fight like that?
Slots. Roulette. Blackjack. Baccarat.
The man is brimming with a childlike sense of joy and exuberance over the chance to go out there and hit the tables. You can tell this is what has been fueling him during his training for the fight. The long days in the gym. The mornings when he woke up and didn't want to work on his cardio. The blood. The sweat. The tears.
The one constant that kept him going through all of that was being able to go out after the fight, split a pair of aces, and turn that $70,000 into $700K. It's just great to see Rinya Nakamura be able to enjoy the payoff of all that hard work and dedication. The most successful people in life are motivated people. And Rinya Nakamura had all the motivation he needed to get that fight over with as quickly as possible.
