Satoshi Ishii Signing
If you have somehow missed all the hype surrounding Satoshi Ishii you must have been living under a rock (or not in Japan I guess). Ever since he won the gold medal at the Olympics in Beijing he has become something of a celebrity. I wrote an article for Sherdog to cover this signing and to give a little background. Instead of writing it all again - here’s a link!
Ishii wore a sumo wig to the presser but no one laughed at all.
Then got embarrassed that no one was laughing and teared the wig off. It got caught and then people laughed. Embarrassment is great!
I've been over it a few times at 100%. Can't find any figures on there.
The other highlight for me was Satoru Kitaoka laughing hysterically at Kazunori Yokota challenging the winner of Kitaoka vs. Hirota.
Sengoku's Tokyo based fighters. Perhaps the start of really big things for the young organisation.
More pictures at Sherdog.
Poor Ishii looks like he really expected the wig to be a riot. <.<
That’s hilarious about Kitaoka!
