Floyd Mayweather had no trouble making quick work of Japanese kickboxing sensation Tenshin Nasukawa at RIZIN 14 on New Year’s Eve.

Mayweather was the bigger, stronger, and more experinced fighter heading into exhibition with Tenshin. And according to the 50-0 pugilist, he did very little training for this fight.

“Did I have a training camp for this fight? No,” Mayweather said during the post-fight press conference via Bloody Elbow. “I went to the gym a few times and moved around with Daquan (Mays), a young champion on the rise. Now, I’mma call him a champion now — he could be a champion, which I believe he can, with experience, and if he listened. He’s young, he has a lot to learn, but he will be okay.

“I’m just happy he was able to move around with me, just a little bit, just to get the kinks out, so I can come out here and perform for you guys.”

Watch Floyd Mayweather’s post-fight press conference below.

Many fans have criticized the fight saying it was fixed. Regardless, Mayweather dropped the 20 year old three times and finished off the kickboxer in under one round.

In typical “Money” Mayweather fashion, he then went on to flaunt his earnings.

Bellator MMA’s bantamweight champ Darrion Caldwell was busy this New Year’s Eve as he was one half of RIZIN 14’s co-main event.

“The Lone Wolf” traveled to the Land of the Rising Sun in an attempt to capture another world title. However, things didn’t go as planned for Caldwell, who looked good early on in the fight. Caldwell used his wrestling early on to gain positional advantages, but in the third round found himself in trouble. Horiguchi was able to lock in a guillotine choke that ultimately led to Caldwell tapping out.

The loss is a setback for Caldwell. However, the Bellator champ seems to be taking his licks and moving right on as evident by his post-fight Instagram post.

“No regrets, just lessons learned,” Darrion Caldwell wrote in his post-fight statement. “Next time we dance in the cage. I’m still the best in the world!”

All class from Caldwell in defeat and he even hinted of a rematch with the Japanese star in a cage next time. The loss snaps Caldwell’s four-fight win streak, but he still retains his Bellator bantamweight title as that was not on the line.

One week away from New Year’s Eve and RIZIN 14 headlined by Mayweather vs. Tenshin still doesn’t have a direct way for American fans to watch.

FITE.TV has been the home for RIZIN in the past. However, just about one week out and neither organization has announced a streaming deal.
