makes the pain of Omigawa losing not so bad

omigawa sucks
and I mean that respectfully. I want a good japanese or chinese fighter to come out, and they are just not physically or training wise, capable of fighting american fighters or more physically superior fighters
F.U.B.A.R - January 14, 2012
Omigawa doesn’t suck. His MMA skills are great, but he’s 36 now and not getting any quicker. Making matters worse is his tendency to box without any head movement, but he is durable and savy, hence no one in the UFC being able to finished him in his latest run

I remember Joe stevenson finishing him
in his “PRIME”, like i said they can not physically compete or do not have the camps to compete with other nations mma training, not being racist, just stating what ive seen

David Castillo,,
In his breakdown of this fight, in the why you should care section, Castillo had a great quote:
“Everybody’s a contender at Heavyweight.”

NEW-HAMPSHIRE - January 14, 2012
