Kanehara should be a slight favorite over the Peruvian unless he finds himself in k-1 mode.

When someone says "I'm a jazz musician", most likely he doesn't make living by just playing music. The mythical word 'jazz' is like a justification for unemployment or less productive status. I don't know about real kungfu but the kungfu associated with Golden Harvest and Raymond Chow is about...

Nakamura vs Souza should be one of the most significant historical showdowns ever for MMA of Japan. Both are much more skilled and have accomplished a lot more than asakura brothers. Their lack of marketable personality keeps this highest level fight incredibly low profile.

Abi's stable master (former sekiwake Terao) passed away in December. It was reported that Abi refused to believe he was no longer breathing and kept talking to him until someone removed him from the death bed. Terao vs Wolf

Dirty Ho Lee

Yokozuna deliberation committee (YDC) held a periodical meeting on Monday. Here's some announcements they made. - All board members agreed that a yusho or equivalent result in January shall promote Kirishima to yokozuna. - if terunofuji fails to compete again in January, a written statement...

Onosato vs kotoshoho gets me a little more excited than the main event of the top division where the Mongolian should score a convincing victory over the tired angel. I have been impressed with midorifuji's performances like previous bashos. I thought one of the bouts would win him...

He's only famous because of his childhood buddies, Asakura brothers who brought him to Tokyo so he could help them film YouTube videos. Before Mayweather fight, Mikuru visited Pacquiao in Manila and he took Sasaki with him for a dramatic purpose. Saaaki's biological mother went back to...

Back in the day, okami would update his blog weekly-to-monthly in which he shared his photos and thoughts with viewers. In around 2009, he introduced a new training method aimed at increasing waist size. I knew it was a bad plan for him because bigger waist will slow him down. He noticeably...

Aoki on Chihiro Suzuki "An experienced fighter wouldn't fight like he did off his back. The lack of MMA knowledge combined with genetic stupidity earned him a big win. Congrats" (Murilo upkick is generally considered a legit MMA move if effectively applied....) Suzuki commented prior to...

Was remembering another Canadian MMA professional, Ryan Jimmo days ago.

When Carol uno made his debut in the UFC (under new ownership, zuffa), he was introduced as "the best light weight in the world" "The best fighter in the world" said "I don't care if I will win or lose. I'm here to express myself to show a good fight." Tell me the name of another UFC fighter...

Nerd-san vs il nerdino I like a fight between martial artists like them as I'm tired of seeing failed basketballers and failed footballers coming to MMA (instead of military) to make living. Aoki says: I took this fight because I wanted to show people that shinya Aoki cannot afford to turn...

I had no idea why asakura brothers didn't take advantage of keita Nakamura when he was with their gym until a few years ago. Nakamura obviously is the greatest grappler Japan has ever produced in the last 3 decades and he's also among all-time top 5 MMA fighters from Japan. I met K-taro in...

If Iran declares a war against Israel in the coming weeks, that'll leave Azerbaijan in the midst of strong threats from Iran, iran-backing Russia and Armenia and some Muslim nations. I hope the event will be held to stand against terrorism and demagogue. This is not going to be just a MMA event.

International judo Federation defines the sport they operate as "kodokan judo" to exclude independent schools or unauthentic cult groups like Buchido-Kai or gaidojitsu. (They attempted to acquire BJJ federation a while ago into their subdivision but failed). Kodokan judo was founded by a...

Keenan Cornelius, a student of American Lloyd Irvin calling Rickson & Helio "purple belt" by today's standards summarizes it all. And he's not even trying to create controversy. His mom doesn't need to rescue her wonderful son this time because his remarks didn't get himself any trouble. In...

MMA and real fight are 2 different things as grappling and MMA are completely different sports. Ryan smiles back when he gets hit. Not indicating extraordinary MMA potential.

Achuleta is the type of fighter Kai hasn't fought in his career. I have no clue how he handles the man attacking from inside guard. Kai wants to, probably needs to keep it standing but that's gonna put his hands at risk again. Shinryu vs horiguchi could be the biggest match (in terms of...
