i was going to post the same thing, LOL

japanese fighters need to move to the states, join better camps, and learn how to cut weight if they want to have any success in the big leagues.

I agree but it's not like Kid was too small or he didn't have the wrestling to win this fight. He's finally fighting guys his size and he wrestled in the Japanese Olympic trials, ffs.

So the only possible excuse is Japanese MMA stars fucking suck once they hit the big pond.

Except Okami, maybe the some of of these other Japanese fighters need to go talk to him.
 
The problem with the Japanese fighters is they generally don't have "camps". They instead run their own Dojo's and spend all day training kids martial arts instead of spending all day training with other trained monsters.

Iron sharpens Iron and all that.
 
Is there any kind of drug testing in Japan? Because I firmly believe that has a lot to do with the drop-off between fighter's performances (of all nationalities) in Japan vs America.

or it could be simply that the competition isn't as good there anymore since pride folded.

That's a big part of it. Look at how all these PRIDE dudes that were known for their wild aggression came in all tentative.

Thanks a lot man. I remembered how cool a guy you were from the RB thread, your epic feuds with the dastardly Archie, but this further cements it.

seriously WEC had some of the best talent in the world at those weight classes.
yes they did I used love watching WEC matches, god damn looks like someone fucked him up with a coffee pot!
 
Yeah, as much as I make fun of Japanese MMA stars, high level American wrestling is just horseshit to watch.

Except for Ben Askren.
