He is of Japanes decent. so whats your point?
Soprry to get off topic, but there isnt really much to say baout this thread!
question: HOw did Kang look in his win against Professor X?
by john on Apr 25, 2009 9:47 AM EDT up reply actions
I told you the other day!Kang out class your professor X.I even told you that he sucks j/k Seriously though,Kang really took it to him,every time Foupa was trying to get back on his feet,Kang was bringing him back down!Almost all the match was on the ground,but Kang wasn’t able to finish it.That’s another fight that casual fans were piss off!!

WILL DO THANKS…fyi: i DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT PROFESSOR x. i ONLy say him fight once, I was just going by what I heard about his submission skills, and the fact that as good as Kang is, he has mental lapses during a fight and often falls into silly submissions!

So THIS is why they have been keeping Okami from fighting anybody good…
They are keeping him until they get all this figurd out. Then give him a title shot in Japan.

Chonan definitely won’t get cut. I figured he’d be on his way to Sengoku by now after the TJ loss.

by IrishMike on Apr 25, 2009 10:47 AM EDT up reply actions

by vibeee on Apr 25, 2009 9:41 AM EDT reply actions
his dad was Japanese-Brazilian so i think he’s quarter japanese?
by markg on Apr 25, 2009 9:47 AM EDT reply actions
they need a japanese LHW!
I’m suprised Wandi is not there as he’s still big in Japan from his Pride days… along with Rampage/Shogn/Hendo/Big Nog/Herring too I suppose

Machida’s Dad is a Jap. His mom is Brazillian. They live in Brazil.

by sokhl on Apr 25, 2009 10:24 AM EDT reply actions

and also if u see the video of Lyoto there ..he talks in japenese in the end ….
by fuquyo on Apr 25, 2009 10:25 AM EDT reply actions
Well he is half Japanese rather or not he was born there.
by Pimp_man on Apr 25, 2009 10:42 AM EDT reply actions
Lyoto is half Japanese actually. Thanks for coming out.
by Malibublue on Apr 25, 2009 10:49 AM EDT reply actions
He is half japanese of course. But half brazilian? Whats that? Theres no such thing as brazilian ethnicity.
His other half if probably portugese.
by lolop4345 on Apr 25, 2009 11:20 AM EDT reply actions
Brazilian,Portuguese, and Japanese are all nationalities.
by RedDog on Apr 26, 2009 4:47 AM EDT up reply actions
true but he was born in Japan and has Japanese citizenship

for some reason i thought the UFC dropped ryo chonan. i don’t want them to but i thought i saw they did.
by chris on Apr 25, 2009 1:07 PM EDT reply actions
They did, but I guess they must have his permission/rights. Or maybe they don’t and will change later. Who knows?
by fredgordo on Apr 25, 2009 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Machida was big for Inoki’s promotion in Japan.
He is a pretty big deal in the Japanese market.
by Jeff on Apr 25, 2009 1:40 PM EDT reply actions
Nice! i hope this will root and end up having more Japanese in the Ufc.
and who cares about machida on front page. he is there for promotional use and dont tell me u dont see that lol. its still dana’s call remember. think like him and u understand why machida is up there. Machida is one of his unpopular succesfull fighters, he needs to make him popular somewhere and im sure Japanese wil love Machida’s style. face it americans just dont fancy him and his style, right? “with this i mean the mainstream UFC fan”
