Gregory gave me the heads up to start a thread solely based on JMMA. So here it is. I'll mainly be focusing on everything JMMA oriented, so I'll continuously post cards, updates, results, info and more. Results will have their own separate threads. Enjoy your JMMA!

Kawajiri originally wanted Cub so maybe he gets the fight he wanted after all.

Yong would have been a good signing for the UFC, but not against Kawajiri.

Yong has the skills to get a couple of wins in the UFC and has the exciting style to put on the FOTN performances the UFC loves to have around.

I would be a bit surprised if they put Kawajiri/Cub on this card.


If you haven't seen the news yet, Parky has decided to retire. It's a shame health and the military derailed his career so bad.

Seeing reports that Nam Yui Chul turned down a UFC offer to stay with ROAD

Heard about Parky retiring the other day, sucks to see him go. I have no idea why I always thought he had a brief stint in the UFC, but he didn't. DREAM was the biggest stage he got to fight in. I guess I may have been confusing him with Hironaka or someone else.

I'm guessing ROAD pays Chul more to fight lesser competition than the UFC does. Add in the jetlag and being able to fight locally all the time and I'm not surprised so many Asians have turned the UFC down.

Yep, he's the face of ROAD so I'm assuming he's getting paid a lot more over there plus all of the other factors such as not having to travel, fighting in front of his countrymen, keeping more of the money he makes, etc. There's still good fights for him to have in Asia, a fight against Yoshida would be awesome or maybe we can finally see the culmination of his beef with Kwon A Sol.


Hopefully Kawajiri gets an opponent announced soon, if it's not Cub then Maxi would be an awesome fight assuming he has no suspension since he took literally 0 damage the other night.


That pic that I posted last week with Minha from Kpop girl group 9 Muses with KZ is apparently a pic from a show that aired early this morning in South Korea which takes a look at the UFC trends as well as having the MC's of the show receive training from the fighters

Awesome, thanks! Hopefully someone subs it soon, looks like they talked about Choi as well. All I got out of it so far is the occasional korean word or phrase here and there, Minha is very cute (I already knew that tho :3), and further proof that KZ is a stud

Watching the Vice Japan documentaries.

The Ryuto Sawada one was fantastic.

The kid has a lot of potential.

The VTJ president was very positive about JMMA in general and came off as a really good guy.

Watching the Waru tournament one now. I think ROY who fought in DEEP recently competed in one of their events and had a 60 fight win streak going before competing in DEEP.

It looks like the Korean Zombie fought in a Waru tournament.

Check the video @ 3:35. There's a fighter in white shorts with the GUMI tag on the back of his trunks and with a bunch of sponsor tags on his trunks.

That's strange if it's him since there's never been any talk about this.

Yeah it does look like him, I know a few of the guys from Waru have pro fights but KZ would by far be the most successful. Nishinari from the vid I know has a few pro fights and that Tsuwamono team has put on a few events. Never actually watched a Waru event though, I wonder if there are any torrents or DVDs

Tokoro and Minowaman to be special guests at this weekends Gladiator 66




WSOF is targeting March or April for their Japan debut. I would think April is more likely as Pancrase has events on March 30th and May 11th but nothing in April

They appear regularly on GLADIATOR events. Tokoro mainly participates in exhibition fights on their cards. He's participating in the opening fight on the main card in an exhibition fight. I'm not sure who his opponent.

Yeah I have seen both with bouts on a few of their events, do they have some kind of stock in GLADIATOR or do they just like to participate there?


Is Ishii training with Aerts and Mousasi regularly now? I know I saw pics a month or 2 ago with them and Ubereem together and here he is again with Aerts and Gegard, maybe he will finally develop something that resembles striking

Not sure about them having any stocks there, I'm sure they just enjoy helping out the smaller org. and they frequently appear on cards to help the talent develop and to possibly draw a bigger crowd.

Not much info is available on GLADIATOR, I don't even know who runs it. I know they have big ties to CMA Korean which is why there's Koreans fighting on their cards frequently. It's also a strange org. since it's not tied to a regional province or anything. They tour all around having events in different provinces. They don't cover all of their events either. They just cover their bigger events which are usually the ones run in Tokyo.

Ishii's always touring around training in different gyms and camps. I'm sure he's probably met Reem and Mousasi thanks to Aerts. They probably have met at IGF since they both compete there frequently and I'm sure he probably trains his striking regularly with Aerts. Training with Aerts could do wonders for Ishii's striking in his career. It sucks his fights from IGF aren't usually available.

So I've been trying to find information on the match ups for the second Top FC card and can't find anything other than the KTT guys that are fighting on it. Sucks, since it is on the 8th.
