At that time Dan was a novice blue belt BJJ at best, still a fantastic fighter. He is so much better now. One of the trailblazers for MMA in the UK. A great fighter and a great guy. Hope you read this Danny. Your history is there for all to see. There will be plenty of people (on YouTube) who will say oh yeh this, yes but that.. but I bet they are guys who have done sweet FA. You know I always say ..it's better to be a "has been" than a "NEVER WAS".
his leglocks are so insane, but i personally like the shoulder locks better :(. but thats probably because i can never get a guy in a leglock. GO Imanari!
u r obviously a new mma fan. he's won over 70% of his fights by leg lock or foot lock. i hate how mma is soooo popular nowadays that there are so many armchair experts who don't know squat about the sport.
everyone has to start somewhere man... to assume that onur1119 is just jumping on the bandwagon is a little harsh considering his 1 wrong comment about 1 fighter, which, based on this fight is an understandable remark (i am a fan of his amazing leglocks don't get me wrong)
first time i saw this video iwas like, OMFG what happened imanari to jaw, its so fugly like monster. it wasnt like that last time. then oh he dyed his beard. lol
sorry but at the beginning i thought the beard was his chin

Kinda weird seeing Imanari win a fight without shredding someone's leg.

If someone messed with Imanari in real life he'd have the power to make him regret it for the rest of his life in a few seconds.

Yeah, he needs a skippers hat and a straight pipe in his mouth to go along with that.

I wonder why this was listed as an "MMA" fight under Imanari's record when they were clearly just grappling...

They were fighting under ZST rules, bro. And both opted not to wear gloves, thus limiting them to open-hand strikes.

His leg locks are devastating, but the good thing about Imanari is his variaty of sumbissions. Hes so technically sound!
