I don't know about the suspect chin part. He's only been finished once. Also, looks like he's facing Marquardt now.

While I wouldnt say Aoki has a suspect chin considering he got kneed the fuck out than smashed some more but he deff doesnt like getting hit. You can tell he starts to wavie after a couple solid shots.

Also Aoki will never be as good in the USA because of the different set of rules, the one affects him most would be the no tights rule. He always wears long tight pants for more traction during subs and trasitions but they arent allowed in US matches

His last fight with Kawajiri was without his tights. And he nearly broke his leg off. I think he can make a big splash in the US although not against the strongest wrestlers (which ufc mostly is...)

I guess you're right he doesn't have a suspect chin...though he's been knocked out 3x farfetched...(mach, hansen after the dream lw tourney and a huge punch by Jutaro Nakao back in his shooto days).

i skimmed your post, i thought you meant okami. but yea suspect chin would be a little much.

what about sakuraba. living legend right there.

most exciting asian fighter right now would be chan sung jung.


gomi and yamamoto are up there too but mostly because of their pride/K-1 days.

sakuraba's days have long since passed him

he's fighting at dream 16 this weekend. it airs live on hd net a few hours after ufc 119

expect mayhem miller to dominate sakuraba by whatever the hell he wants

This guy knows where its at...

Sakuraba=toughest pound for pound motherfucker in MMA history!
