Choo sung hoon is the best asian fighter though still.. many japs who thought they were tough all got fucked up by choo. Pathetic weak ass japs. Well... dakwan can't fight n e way.. lol
People in Japan do not respect Akiyama because he cheated when he fought Sakuraba. Sakuraba is considered almost a god in Japan and when he lost to Akiyama complained that he had any oil product in the body. Akiyama himself later acknowledged that trap, which is why Japan is not wanted.
unless you are asian, you wouldnt understand, unfortunately. (no hate)
There is a HUGE sense of anger between japan vs korea.
this is due to several reasons, most of them being atrocities in ww2, increasing economic rivalry, rivalry in sports, territorial disputes, plain old ignorance, etc...
its not just japanese that are racist, koreans feel the exact same way to japanese.
best fighter . i dont do why dana white wants akiyama to go to welterweight he wouldent make the weight he is a former k-1 heros light-heveyweight champ he had struggles making weight for the leban fight so yere i think he should think about going up to light-heveyweight or just staying at middleweight . if he does stay at middleweight he should fight Dan Miller next. if he wins or loses to palahres
Yeah I think they hate him because he oiled up bigtime against Sakuraba denying it until a video showing him putting it on himself. Also there's other videos of him in his judo days where he oils up his gi, so he does have a history of cheating. But great song to an entrance.
really sad to see the japanese crowd booing akiyama just because he has korean blood. Thankfully, us koreans love this this guy and treat him our countrymen because he is.
That is not true, they dont hate him because he is Korean. They hate him because he cheated against biggest Japanese MMA hero Kazushi Sakuraba, the fight was then declared a No Contest.
Japanese are very respectful people but how are they supposed to not hate this guy after what he did against Saku?
This song was in Wanted.. good flick he is 4th generation Japanese so basically he's JAPANESE!!! but from what I understand they love him now so whatever!!!
@airistkd dude you can't even present the right link. It doesn't work, but how about you read wikipedia instead of relying on your youtube videos on your fifth grade school book report. cockfag.
@airistkd LOL, it says he is 4th generation Japanese of Korean descent. Therefore, he is japanese nationally, but he is ethnically Korean. You really got this drilled into your head. I'm really worried about you. This is so damn funny. Please, keep it coming if you still can't understand simple phrases. Music to my ears!
@wontonsoup771 Your still not making a point you just admited I have been right all along and now your trying to change your stance I said in my original post way before you ever got on here and started your nonsence that he is 4th generation Japanese... now youadmit that fact so good for you you finally realized I'm right...
why are you arguing when you agree with me??? it makes no sence I have had the facts correct all along....
@wontonsoup771 I never said he wasn't of korean decent in fact I said exactly that!!! what I also said was that he is 4th generation Japanese and that's a fact.
It's like your not even reading this stuff your arguing that I'm right
let's look at the 2 facts I have given 1: his great grandfather moved from Korea to Japan and 2: this makes him 4th generation Japanese
what one of those two facts are you arguing cause they are both right and they are both what I have been saying all along
@airistkd likewise here, i never implied he wasn't 4th generation japanese all i said is that he has japanese citizenship and he's ethnically korean. he's a fucking huge celebrity in korea and also in japan.
@airistkd what's yours? didn't you read wikipedia? it says he's fourth generation japanese but it also says he acquired his japanese citizenship in 2001. so that's a little bit of irony. if he's a fourth generation japanese then shouldn't he already be japanese since he was born? Dude you need some history lessons, koreans who live in japan aren't granted citizenship easily even if they've lived there for generations. it wasn't until recent years that koreans found it easier to get citizenship.
@airistkd the japanese don't even consider him to be japanese...most of them hate him because he's korean. plus his name is also choo sung hoon, which is korean.
@wontonsoup771 dude I know all this but that doesn't change any of the facts I have listed your the one trying to argue that I'm wrong when I'm not, and yes there is additional information that can be given but I'm not righting his fucking biography...
My original post was because others commented that he was Korean and that's why every one was booing him nobody had mentioned the fact that he was also 4th generation Japanese so I thought I would share that little piece of information...
@airistkd yeah, they're booing him because he's ethnically korean. it doesn't matter if he's 4th generation japanese, he's still fucking korean. it's like having a mexican-american dude here in the U.S. White Americans don't give a shit whether he's an American citizen or not, he's still a Mexican in front of their eyes.
@wontonsoup771 Well I'm 4th generation Irish American and everyone here says I'm american and when I visited Ireland they don't call me Irish... Also my best friend is 4th generation Mexican american and his situation is the same So try a new argument...
But I understand how different Japanese culture is and how they aren't as progressive as we are... but his being ethnicaly Korean doesn't seem to matter anymore cause now they love him in Japan
@airistkd uhh yeah, don't get me started on political correctness shit, but let me say something. You're white. I can't tell if someone is Irish, British, or French- American unless they have an accent. So i just call all you guys whites or crackers. I'm sticking with my arguement cuz if you saw some Mexican American dude speaking spanish in the street, you would call him Mexican not knowing his citizenship. Plus, I beg to differ on his "loveable" status in Japan in terms of innate opinions.
@wontonsoup771 right you'd call him mexican but he could be quatamalan, salvadorian, argentinian, honduran.... or a dozen ethnicities from latin america that speak spanish... the point is your making a generalization and that's fine but yet you wanna be super specific about Akiyama...
You know the saying "if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it's probably a duck" well if he's 4th generation Japanese, and speaks Japanese, and has a Japanese name then he's pretty much Japanese...
@wontonsoup771 my original post was just to say he was Japanese when everyone was saying he is Korean and really I didn't even say he was Japanese I said he was 4th generation. So yes the most correct answer is he was born in Japan but is of Korean decent but again we generalize things so what's more acurate he is Korean or he is Japanese? niether is 100% exact
also I never said "loveable" but is a majority of japanese people didn't like him then Japanese companies wouldn't have him modeling
even though so many Japanese people hate him, Japan is his true home. Even though he's Korean by blood, he was born and raised in Japan and he even has Japanese first and last name. Even in UFC, everyone in his corner were Japanese. Even though you see many people hating on him in the vid, I'm sure he has a lot of fans in Japan as well. Those haters are just losers who need someone to look down on.
the first half of this comment is stupid just like the argument. no country can own a person... CHU SUNG HOON(his korean name) represents japan AND korea. youre comment made alot of sense but that phrase "japan is his true home" just troubled me.
you wouldnt be saying that if he was a half assed mma fighter. so please... just think about the first sentence. he doesnt have a japanese name by choice, he needed one to become a citizen
And Akiyama's one of my favourite middle weight fighters.
Obviously Japan is his true home, I just stated the fact. If he doesn't consider Japan as his true home, why doesn't he immigrate away from Japan? To Korea or U.S.? And he is also married to a Japanese woman. I think you misunderstood me. What I meant to say was that Japanese people should not hate him. But he is proud of his Korean heritage. I know he represents both Japan and Korea.
@hellscience so what japanese knows that he have korean blood so that's why japanese hate him. do we need hate him like japanese? he has full of korean blood. that's enough to said.
Japanese are just jealous of his sexiness. He's now married to a hot Japanese supermodel. He clearly asked the officials b4 the fight if it was okay to apply body lotion on his gloves. At that time, the officials said it's okay. But after he WON the fight, the organization ruled it against the rule. What's even funnier is that they don't even give Sakuraba and Akiyama a rematch. Doesn't Sakuraba want to own him back? After all, Akiyama KO'd him.
he applied bodylotion on his gloves, he asked the refree if it was alright before the fight and the ref said it's okay. But after Akiyama won, the organization ruled it against the rule and made the match no contest. Also, Akiyama's case is clear example of Japan's remaining racism against Koreans.

Are you serious? How about you go find bas and suck his dick. I didn't say he wasn't a good fighter you fucking idiot. He's an amazing fighter, he's just a FUCKING DUMBASS. He always has been, and always will be. FUCK YOU.
@omgtopher you are a thug ,who are you taking shit about a legend. real easy talking shit from bihind your computer .fucking gay ,think you got tomany asswhooping as a child and then the internet is handy, soo you dont get beatupp becouse of your fucking retard comments.
@blitzkrieg861 Bas is a funny guy and comes off as a clown sometimes but he's forgotten more about MMA than any of us will ever know. Not to mention he's on a short list of the best 'pound for pound' fighters in the history of the sport. Even now he's one of the last guys on the planet I'd want to roll up on. Plus I've met the guy a couple of times and he's a consummate gentleman who always has time for the fans. As Blitzkrieg noted, Bas deserves mucho respect.
afflictions cool but theyre dishing out so much money. at this point id say dream or sengoku are pride reborn. more so sengoku because they still allow soccer kicks and stomps. id much rather see that than elbows on the ground
Affliction is dead after their next PPV... they have lost so much money there is no way, even if they outsold UFC 100, they could stay afloat... which they won't. Dream has had some GREAT ratings lately with them becoming more popular and great fighters signing with them.
affliction is dead now. who wouldve thought that much would change in 5 days. it went from cool, to dead after the ppv, to fuck the ppv the shit is over real quick
I agree with Prometheus. True mma fans know whats good! Pride was awesome and I hate that UFC bought them out. Akiyama has been one of my favorite fighters for a while now! GO SEXY YAMA
they both go togther ... people hated him at first but like they do in such video above until after the several "greasing" and slippery things... with soap he used to wash his clothes(which was a honest mistake) and too much Vaseline ... but the fact he has a korean background, it makes them hate him easier cause of how there culture is... but he has tons of fans over there.. don't let the Boo's make you judge the whole country.. he had tons of advertisements..
I think it's like the WWE heel thingy. The people who boo him would probably ask for his autograph if he were to hold a signing, it's all part of the spectacle.
Like how they always boo that one particular DREAM judge.
I agree. but UFC is trying it's hardest to not be seen as WWE.. thats why they freaked out about Lesnar this weekend.. as well they should.. but I am glad they let him use his music and do his ritual before entering the ring.
Why no Japanese respect?

@blitzkrieg861 Just because he's a legend doesn't mean he should be screaming like a total douche while a fighter is making his entrance.

@blitzkrieg861 Bas is a funny guy and comes off as a clown sometimes but he's forgotten more about MMA than any of us will ever know. Not to mention he's on a short list of the best 'pound for pound' fighters in the history of the sport. Even now he's one of the last guys on the planet I'd want to roll up on. Plus I've met the guy a couple of times and he's a consummate gentleman who always has time for the fans. As Blitzkrieg noted, Bas deserves mucho respect.

@blitzkrieg861 actually .. he's kinda not. He never really had any big accomplishments in the sport so...
He is mega awesome though and a known mma figure and personality, but that doesn't really earn you the status of being a legend.

afflictions cool but theyre dishing out so much money. at this point id say dream or sengoku are pride reborn. more so sengoku because they still allow soccer kicks and stomps. id much rather see that than elbows on the ground

Affliction is dead after their next PPV... they have lost so much money there is no way, even if they outsold UFC 100, they could stay afloat... which they won't. Dream has had some GREAT ratings lately with them becoming more popular and great fighters signing with them.

affliction is dead now. who wouldve thought that much would change in 5 days. it went from cool, to dead after the ppv, to fuck the ppv the shit is over real quick

I agree with Prometheus. True mma fans know whats good! Pride was awesome and I hate that UFC bought them out. Akiyama has been one of my favorite fighters for a while now! GO SEXY YAMA

Can someone explain why the japanese hate akiyama, is it because he's korean or because he's greased before?
walterkane 2 years ago 2
they both go togther ... people hated him at first but like they do in such video above until after the several "greasing" and slippery things... with soap he used to wash his clothes(which was a honest mistake) and too much Vaseline ... but the fact he has a korean background, it makes them hate him easier cause of how there culture is... but he has tons of fans over there.. don't let the Boo's make you judge the whole country.. he had tons of advertisements..
ZeenLimo 2 years ago
I think it's like the WWE heel thingy. The people who boo him would probably ask for his autograph if he were to hold a signing, it's all part of the spectacle.
Like how they always boo that one particular DREAM judge.

Because He had formally announced in Korea that "in his heart the blood still flows is still Korean!"

I agree. but UFC is trying it's hardest to not be seen as WWE.. thats why they freaked out about Lesnar this weekend.. as well they should.. but I am glad they let him use his music and do his ritual before entering the ring.
