Yushin Okami finishing off Evan Tanner at UFC 82 (Live)

[Sifujetli]

Hey im over this Asian pride thingy now and hardly comment on youtube cause im 20... But seriously i'm still so proud of how much the Asian Martial Arts especially Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai has influenced the UFC and all the top fighters that came along with it. Yet it even influenced the creation of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which again passed down from a Japanese guy. It's Asian martial arts that has made all the top fighters who they are now. So fuckin idiots Shouldn't say that Asians Can't Fight :)

[cijay2026]

only japanase people wins anderson silva, and sakurai wins anderson silva. BTW my problem is black people, not japanases, i like sushi and japan.

[gokubangchichi]

i don't know what your smoking but asians are the people that made fucking martial arts if it wasn't for them none of this shit would be possible

[Blamepandora85]

Man Evan tanner died a pretty awful death...

[WadeGHamilton]

RIP Evan Tanner

[1FrankMir1]

RIP TANNER

[sh4nky420]

if evan was alive id love 2 see one of these haters fight him

[nichickmet]

R.I.P Tanner

[GarbageTramp69]

man, as much as i'd love to see yushin get a rematch with silva, it's never gonna happen. okami lost to chael sonnen.

damn!

okami is still a pretty good fighter. after all, he's number 4 in the rankings.

[enaler1001]

@GarbageTramp69 I bet you feel stupid now..because Okami is facing silva at UFC in Brazil

[evolvedb4u]

@GarbageTramp69 Looks like you're getting your wish! I can't wait for the rematch

[MrRoachclips]

@GarbageTramp69 Never?

[symondsc1988]

soon the british will start kicking some ass in the ufc we have a lot of very good fighters starting to come though the ranks not like mike bisbing

[mchong1234]

Okami is one of the very very few, maybe the only Japanese fighter that is doing rather well in the UFC.

[phatphob6921]

Same here, he's the rare Japanese Fighter who prefers Ground and Pound which adapts very well in UFC.

[UpCominGregk]

Same here, he's the only non-Brazilian/Russian/North American fighters who is very well in UFC. All of the good MMA fighters are from Brazil, Russia, Japan, Canada, Holland and the USA. Other countries suck for their weakness, cowardness and gayness

[icecoldknockout]

not now akiyama is going to ufc. oh and caol uno is back at UFC 99

[armoredsoldner]

Rest in Peace, Evan.

[BeAsTiNiT1]

RIP bernie mac, you will be missed.

o wait.

[kdude1000]

ass....

[Xerox20077]

RIP buddie

[BrianCamorano]

Speaking of japanese fighters, I miss Saku :)

[NextMessiah]

How anyone could call Evan Tanner fake blows my mind... Hes past his prime now, but 2 or so years ago he was DOMINATING people left and right. Off responding to that, Asian fighters are top tier. UFC Fanboys have never heard of guys like Rumina Sato, 'Kid' Yamamoto, Genki Sudo, Hayato Sakura... look around before posting that a stupid post like that...

[wildchild6660]

Don't forget kazushi sakuraba

[dirtywhiteboymma]

@NextMessiah iT'S ok 2 AGREE 2 DISAGREE, BUT i DOUBT HE WAS PAST PRIME. hE HAD A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL, AMONG OTHER ISSUES. Those things DO hold bearing over one's performance. But I'm glad you respect & support such a great spirit. They're just cage potatoes, fella. Almost all of them have no experience, or even training, & don't even know the nuances of a fight, like "Position B4 submission, or transitions..."

[vi1na2]

@NextMessiah I am Asian but I have not seen an Asian fighter does well in UFC. We fantasize ourselves too much over the fictions. See how Silva toyed and then destroyed Okami.

[tmtm325]

@vi1na2 Ever heard of Ryo Chonan vs Anderson Silva? >:)

[TheD0henyBeachBadBoy]

yushin okami is the best asian fighter

him and anderson silva are gonna fight at UFC 88

[JTAZN]

"I thought he had no skills, wth is that then" lol Okami has plenty of skills to take out anyone.

[Sven828]

I can tell that most posting on this wall are UFC fans only, not true MMA fans, because if you were a true MMA fan you would know that the asian fighters do hold their own in K1 and Pride against fighters of all races, even dominating much bigger ones, look up the "the kid" for example. The only reason you don't see many asian fighters in the UFC is because there aren't many, actually very very few.

[AcousticDoc]

Hell yea! Kid is dominant! And of course, one of MMA's legends is Sakuraba!

[audiophile85]

yeah because they all have real jobs. haha.

[TheHegemon1]

that sucks for Tanner, I remember watching him since before ppl were watching MMA.

[temporon]

evan "everyone knows i'm a fake" tanner

[DivineDynasty23]

how could you call him fake? are you a retard Evan Tanner was a pretty dominant middleweight.

[mmafighter2727]

Who was the moron that called Evan Tanner fake? He was a dominant fighter. Screw everyone else who thinks otherwise. RIP Evan Tanner.

[SamFreedom]

I haven't seen Tanner in a long while and I really can't comment on him with confidence but I can say that every time I saw him, he looked tough, but he just never seemed like a top-row contender... more like someone pretty good they put in there just to make some other true contender's abilities really shine.

[WhiteBoyAsian]

So please take heed when saying that this is their own sport.

IT'S CALLED MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!

Not just Martial Arts. I've studied Martial Arts for a few years now but only lately have I become an MMA fighter.

What I'm trying to say is that even with my previous background in fighting, it only gave me a microscopic edge when I started my MMA training.

[SchmokinJoe]

Wait, are you an MMA fighter or are you training in MMA? Being a fighter and training are two completely different things.

[WhiteBoyAsian]

If you look up info or vids for the types of tournaments in Oriental countries, you'll find a thousand of them.

And as for the movie thing, when they fight in movies they fight against guys who fight the same way, not MMA.

MMA is the highest achieved pinacle of fighting in the world.

[WhiteBoyAsian]

Most chinese or other oriental fighters tend to stay in their safety zone like karate or kung fu.

They don't really break out into MMA like others.

[soirez32]

Where are the Chinese fighters? Do they only do movies?

[soirez32]

FINALLY, a Japanese fighter who actually wins against a Westerner. So sad to see the Japanese do so poorly agianst Westerners in their own sport. Too bad this will probably be the last Japanese win for a while. No wonder you hardly see a Japanese fighter take on a Westerner.

[rao007]

hmm...that's probably because there's only a hand full of Japanese fighters in the UFC?

[vitorshaolin]

your a dumbass first of all have you heard of tatsuya kawajiri or shinya aoki. if not then shut the fuck up. because you dont know anything about mma.

[medog2020]

Those guys suck. Emmanuel Yarborough and Steve Jennum are the best fighteres in MMA ever.

[vitorshaolin]

then what events have they competed because ive never heard of them.

[medog2020]

Steve Jennum is the UFC 3 tournament champion. Emmanuel Yarborough is fat sumo wrestler who has never won a MMA fight.

[EvilJukka]

Ahhahahaha. Emmanuel is the MAN! :D

[prhray]

Yushin Okami is becoming more exciting. Tanner was dropped like a sack of potatoes.

[evilzuma]

While I'm a fan of Evan, Okami's victory doesn't mean that much to me. Tanner was still shaking off some personal problems and he was only seriously training since last Oct.

Given enough time, he could take on Silva and put on more of a show then Dan did...

[davehfz]

hell yeah okami is gonna upset silva.

[Hollywizzood23]

are you fuckin kidding me . like take some time, look over anderson silvas record and shit . and just everything . and look at fuckin chinky there . okami is gonna get fucked up soo hard this time, the only loss by DQ was to okami. anderson is prolly pissed about that and wants to avenge it. Besides, anderson silvas next fight is with Roy Jones jr. . well its in discussin, but will be straight boxing rules

[buzydude]

Chinky eyed? You ingrate peace of shit. Haha. People like you love watchin this shit, knowin how the majority of these Martial arts used here come from Asia, and When an asian even happens to win, They get boo'd, or get racist remarks like "Chinky eyed".

[Hollywizzood23]

and your point ..

[soirez32]

Racist remarks aren't cool, BUT why do Asian fighters not do well against Westerners? It is part of their culture, but very few actually fight not Asian for fear of getting beat. Sad because more than half the planet is Asian, but you would be hard pressed to name a couple of great Asian fighters that are not just in the movies as fictional characters.

[timmyz55]

dude, japanese mma fighters fight against non-asians all the friggin time. watch k1, shooto, or mma. are you asian? if not, then don't try to say it's part of our culture or something. that's total bullshit. culture means shit, it's drive and will that make the difference. if someone doesn't succeed, then it's because they didn't have the talent in the first place, not their fucking culture.

[xandre00x]

what the hell are you talking about? anderson silva has lost more than once, he got his ass kicked by a Japanese fighter called Ryo Chonan. so you might want to take a look over his record. lmfao

[peraltaman]

fuck no!!!!

Yushin is gunna upset the bitch ass spider!

[jmmacalalag]

Yushin Thunder Okami!!!

[mjg6string]

Yeah, what did he really win. an inevitable ass wipping by the spider. Lucky him.

[tsakherkuum]

I guess this means Yushin is next in line to get raped by silva.
