Loosely translated: "Here's a terse update of personal nature, but I, Yamamoto "Kid" Norifumi, am working on treating my cancer. I am absolutely determined to recover and return, so I ask that you to cheer me on."
 
Yikes. Very sobering

All the best to one of the founding fathers of the FW and Bantamweight divisions.
 
Oh no. =[

This is horrible. I was just thinking about him the other day, and ended up watching him KO Royler. A true legend of the sport, someone who helped put the lighter weight divisions on the map, and one of the hardest pound for pound hitters this sport has ever seen.

Hopefully he KO's cancer faster than Miyata.
 
damn, that's a bad news. sincerely wish him well.
 
Yamamoto by flying knee KO.

I hope you’re right, bro. Your post made me feel a little better. He’s a legend of the sport, and all true MMA fans who understand the history of MMA will be pulling for him.

Does anyone know what kind of illness it is, exactly?
 
Seems Kid did not post yet what type of cancer.
 
The thing is that he's STILL in excellent condition which makes it very surprising

Hope he gets well soon
 
What kind of cancer? Makes a big difference.
