Happy New Year from Tokyo

Got lazy, video blogged instead of writing for NYE. :) Besides, there are probably like 10 of you who care about my in-depth thoughts on Japanese MMA anyway, so a lengthy write-up would just be mental masturbation.

I loved it. Thanks for sharing. It had an Amazing Race kinda feel, running to the temple with seconds to spare!

I was disappointed, the fans continued to scream support and shout for Aoki despite the obvious classlessness of the move.

I will try to actually write a little bit about attending the event if I have some down time in Hawaii.

Actually, Aoki has a history of behaving like a prick.

I mean, check out his apology, which (even translation/cultural issues notwithstanding) has to be one of the worst apologies in the history of apology.

“After my fight, I was excited, and so I did something rude that I should apologize for. But that showed just how excited I was over that fight,” said Aoki, despite stating prior to Dynamite that Hirota was a “virtual unknown.”

“When I had his arm behind his back, I could feel it popping,” Aoki said. “I thought, 'Well, this guy's pride just won't let him tap, will it?' So without hesitation, I broke it. I heard it break, and I thought, 'Ah, there, I just broke it.' I was stopped afterward, but even if I hadn't been, continuing to break it more would have been fine by me.”

I'm going to assume you said something uncomplimentary about my feet.
