GO YUSHIN OKAMI!
 

Yes it's another UFC thread but there isn't enough talk about him (and RS is mostly asian right?)
He's the best asian fighter in the UFC (yes better than Gomi and Akiyama) and fighting for the #1 contention against Vitor Belfort Oct. 13th!

Fixed.

i hate okami. so boring

Nam Phan is the best asian fighter for those of you who watch TUF :thumbsup:

i can't say who's the best asian fighter, but i can tell you who ISN'T...

Andy Wang....

i dont mind boring fighters as long as they are skilled.

machida was considered a boring fighter for the longest time, up until he won the title.

There are boring fighters who stall to win, and there are boring fighters who try to finish the fight.

Sexiyama

obviously u guys didn't watch his fights against tanner, linhares or his fights in japan (pride and k-1). Although most of the time he wins by decision, he's known for his outstanding judo/wrestling, ground and pound and decent boxing. All u want are guys who throw themselves at their opponents and as soon as the fight goes to the ground u boo.

hes not asian but.. Fedor Emelianenko!:thumbsup:

Way to rack up those fails noob

Shinya Aoki?

the OP obviously missed out the OTHER fights n pride/dream

obviously u failed to read my original post. Best asian fighter in UFC is Yushin Okami. Gomi's got good power but he's inconsistent. Akiyama is 1-1 with a submission loss and a split decision win. I've watched pride since its beginnings so of course I know there's good asian fighters outside of UFC (personal fav is mach sakurai and saku)

Wow, didn't know there was so much hate for Yushin Okami. He's a good fighter who has a ton of skill. So who's everyone rooting for?

best asian fighter will have to be Genki Sudo in terms of overall awesome

great MMA fighter, great entertainer and great person

I actually like Okami. But knowing him he'll probably beat Vitor and then injure himself again. The guy has the worst luck when it comes to title shots.

Aoki could get shot in the face point blank and I wouldn't shed a single tear.

He's the definition of a douche bag.

He beats people and then talks shit.

He loses and then cries like a little bitch every. single. time.

Didnt' know who Okami was so I youtubed him -
knocked out by a upkick in guard position, I guess that was a few years ago though...

^ That's called an up kick.

One of the most famous ones was Mousasi on Jacare

Funny how the clip cuts off the part where they declare it to be an illegal up kick. Also, possibly TUF alum Troy "rude boy" Mandaloniz's claim to fame.

Aoki is like the guy said above, a douche. Talks so much crap and boasts about his submission skills. Look at the recent Strikeforce match between Aoki and Melendez. Complete domination by Melendez. Aoki became all soft and was crying post match.

Aoki is your typical 1 trick pony.

His sub skills are good but that's all he has. If you can stuff his takedowns then he loses 99.9% of the time.

No wrestling, no striking.

Aoki's sub skills are unreal if he gets ahold of you on the ground. hes like gracie v2.0. but hes a fucking cunt piece of shit.

GENKI SUDO, STRIKING AND SUBMISSIONS WOO

Aoki's def a good fighter. Almost always gets the fight to the ground where he owns. He's got a suspect chin though..

Glad RSX looked him up. Look out for him in the near future. If he beats Belfort he will prob re match silva since they have bad blood.
