Yoshihiro Akiyama HL

[1994RTK]

@guybec1111 his moms korean and dad japanese. why would his name be japanese if he is korean but born in japan. if a white guy was born in china but his parents white, would his name be zuong ma?

[AkenoKalei]

@Brandontrann i meant is akiyama korean or japanese?

[guybec1111]

@AkenoKalei korean born in japan

[kleinesap]

why does everybody hate this guy ??

[jeremyliu122]

I love Akiyama, he throws down in every fight and isn't afraid to actually fight. Now all he needs is a stricter fitness regime.

[AkenoKalei]

ok.. is a korean! OR japanese!????

[msxilef100]

hummmmmmmmmmmmmm boiola

[mindlessming]

I'll say this for Akiyama. The man doesnt know what a boring fight is, and he has no idea how to put on a boring fight. Always puts on a show.

[PuffDiamond27]

Like this if you think Akiyama will win against Belfort

[LeviAAA]

I just love armchair pundits. Akiyama has achieved more in his life than many of his critics could achieve in 3 lifetimes. WAR Akiyama!

[Thegoldstarman]

@LeviAAA armchair pundits? just coz someones an mma fan and doesn't practice it dosent mean they cant have an opinion akiyama is excellent but nowhere near the best

[asbcpaulista]

a lot of work for Vitor Belfort on UFC133. Akiyama is a hard guy!

[emixpforum]

Jujitsu ftw! 04:41 O Soto Gari, i rofl when i saw this humaliation!

[nascidoem]

what is the name of the song that plays in the beginning?

[TheSuperRocketman]

@nascidoem Time to say goodbye

[bluteo27]

That double leg (morote gari) counter he did was sick

[RockawayRiotSquad]

remember when Joe Rogan announced him as "Sexyama" at the weigh in for Akiyama's fight against Leben? What a douchebag Rogan is

[RockawayRiotSquad]

he's 35 and lost to an alcoholic bum in Chris Leben...he was good in his prime...he's done unfortunately...I'll be rooting for him against Marquardt tonight but I dont see him winning...hopefully i'm wrong

[black916Sac]

this is not the same fighter as the one in the ufc...maybe its the competition

[dudesrock2]

In my opinion oriental fighters are better in traditional arts like Judo but not in Akiyama's case

[TheMegaepicman]

@ydfau61 Very well put together video, enjoyed this one.

[CATRA1000]

Great spirit,great fighter.

[LeviAAA]

Judoka warrior. Gassho.

[beyondsupreme]

his life is dramatic 

[suruyon]

grande akiyama :)

[tossboys]

he has korean blood mother fukers japenishit

[kai0shin]

i heard Sexyama is gonna fight Chael Sonnen next...................ummmmm

i don't think that's a good match up for Sexyama, he's on a 2 fight losing streak and Chael is a tough fighter. Anderson, Nate, Okami were all dominated by him (at least in the first 3 rounds). They couldn't stop the take downs, I don't think Sexyama can.

i think this is a bad match up for Sexyama... he should fight someone else but i hope, if he fights, beats Chael.

[tigerjonn]

why is judo expert akiyama trying to stand up and out box the quicker michael bisping? Akyama, come on start doing what you know best, take people down and ground and pound them....

[tokokuken]

Akiyama looked like he was being controlled by some tard on X-Box Live in that fight with Bisping. I think his main problem is that he fancies himself a knockout artist that just happens to be a world class Judo player, when in reality he's a world class Judo player that just happens to have heavy hands. I see him benefitting from a style closer to that of Karo Parisyan. Pressure with the Judo. Get their mind elsewhere THEN plunk them. Sexy's just spamming punches.

[Crudshifter]

@tokokuken dude I have to say that your comment is absolutely hilarious.

[tokokuken]

@Crudshifter Thanks. I'm just saying what I feel. I just don't get how professional fighters can be so ridiculously stupid about fighting. You see these guys trying the same BS over and over and over again like their opponent won't get it. Say what you will about Bisping, he's smart enough to avoid the same punch being thrown over and over again.

Forget all the supergay internet dorkdom for a second; Akiyama sucks. Not because he lacks ability; he insists on fighting like a retard.

[Crudshifter]

@tokokuken you crack me up. Bisping seems about as bright as a couple of bricks. Have you seen his instructional videos, they're absolutely awful! I'm suprised he's actually pretty good. How can we possibly forget the super gay internet dorkdom when YouTube commenters post things like 'I play this while having sex' on the Countdown theme.

[banardnard]

is it just me...

or does he kick someone in the balls or gets kicked by someone in the balls in every ufc fight...

[stonewindimmortal]

Sick armbar on Mo

[krnshogun]

for a judoka he's got pretty perisisnet and accurate srking techniques

[dikejonez]

Akiyama needs to walk out to the song - (Battle Without Honor or Humanity-Kill Bill) in his next UFC fight. Can't think of anyone it would suit better!

[skelator312]

the people who dont like Akiyama are mostl Nazis...racist bastards. Akiyama keep smashing their heads!!! kill nazis

[JbertCK91]

He should have used some of that grappling and floor work on Bisping.

[StuartJones3]

you guys should check HELLO JAPAN's highlight of akiyama its better

[daestaebell]

nasty reverse at 5:15...thats stuff he learned from Tekken fighting as King

[daestaebell]

nasty reverse at 5:17...thats movie theater stuff lol

[nitcan]

akiyama, should focus more on his ground game, he's been doing a lot of stand up, which he definitely isnt bad in, but he's a judoka and should definitely use his ground game to dominate.

[daestaebell]

@nitcan your retarded. half of the video was his ground game

[nitcan]

@daestaebell

i wasnt talking about this video.

ofc i've seen how good he is, but if you see in the lieben fight or his recent ufc fights, he's been standing up a lot.

i'm just saying i'd prefer to see him work the ground some more.

[KoreanSeaweed]

He got whacked in the nuts 2 times after joining the UFC........

[VietBoiTom]

akiyama is doing TERRIBLE in the UFC... all his UFC fights IMO he hasnt shown anything besides being able to eat hits and decent clinch/ground that he hardly uses.

[barkley800]

lesson number one dont let him kick your head or get you on the ground

[messi10064]

he is the best.....................

[ZeroXF5]

lol 4:00 Akiyama just erupted

[jason59fifty]

man.. I see alot of great fighters become soft after the go to the ufc. akiyama one of them

[ZeroXF5]

@jason59fifty did you watch the bisping fight ???

[jason59fifty]

@ZeroXF5 ya he fricken lost.

[ZeroXF5]

@jason59fifty ... so you only looked at the result ?? considering the amount of punches he took and Bisping couldn't take him out just shows he isn't getting soft

[tyrannosauruswrx]

@jason59fifty yup. CroCop especially.

[enaler1001]

@jason59fifty but you gotta think...imagine if you went to another country to fight and everybody in the crowd was wanting you to get your ass beat,americans are disrespectful dicks screaming " USA USA USA!!!". It's gotta mess with your head.

[japes72]

@enaler1001 i would've said, WHERE DID THIS FORM OF FIGHTING ORIGINATE? NOT USA NOT USA

[adriot22]

@jason59fifty the dude is 35 give him a break

[laokon]

@jason59fifty to many think ufc is end stage. it's (at my regret) the biggest mma organisation worldwide, so once they're there, they should redouble efforts instead of thinking they got it.

[DikkiSeamen]

wat song is this?

[Qxdawg35]

at 6:20 whos in the red trunks and the black?

[barkley800]

shit hate to get stuck in the corner agaisnt akiyama

[barkley800]

[rkswlqjq4]

@oOMaGMaHOo

Um..fix your terrible grammer and then come back please ;D

& Obviously you have no sense of humor :/

[OffspringFTW65]

EEEEZZZZZZIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKIIIII­EEEELLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Olexxus]

What's the name of the second song?

[henh32]

@Olexxus - Hate Me Now - Nas/Puff Daddy

[Mannypacquia0]

anyone know the song from the beginning of this vid? 

[asdzxc11223344]

@Mannypacquia0 io con te partirò

[henh32]

@Mannypacquia0 - Time to say goodbye Sarah Brightman Andrea Bocelli..

PS. Looking forward to the Pacman fight!

[mario6sic6]

whys he controversial?

[ssflip]

8:55 - 9:04 ... what happened !!

[chalotnufc]

hey guy watch my new team black house highlight featuring anderson ilva, junior dos santos, lyoto machida, paulo thiago, jose aldo, nogueira brothers and much more!!

IT IS ON MY CHANNEL!

[yellopanda]

akiyama brought sexy back when justin timberlake was still in the mickey mouse club

[masukudo0]

akiyama is slip

[ELECTROSAL]

You shouldn't have put the Sukuraba fight in there. He put lotion on his body.. How low is that? :S

[gonnaragonu]

dam, you better keep that arm tight bisping, or i predict and armbar

[soldierdad5417]

@gonnaragonu Bisping kept his fist tight against Akiyama's face. LOL!!!!!

[killyouropponent]

He's fucking strong for an asian his size. This is coming from an asian b.t.w.

[luisfcoliveira]

you dont wanna get punched by a judo fighter



[dgwong]

whats that choke that akiyama does from the mount?

[nobbytang]

his throws are spectacular but very suprided leben got him with that strangle as its pure judo ( sanguka ) , he will come again for that I am sure

[soldierdad5417]

@nobbytang he came to get his ass kicked again by Bisping. LOL!!!!

[deadwood223]

If you like men, you're probably gay. However, if you like Akiyama, you've just got good taste.

[Gaskal1365]

Whenever I hear his walk out theme I think to myself "AKIYAMAAAAAA"

[blackjohnnyboy87]

(i'm french) If chris leben wasn't a "knock out zombie", i think akiyama would won this fight.

[lucirz]

what is the first song?

[lucirz]

@farias0924 name of the song?

[farias0924]

@lucirz ....sorry its... Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye ... theres another version w/ Andrea Bocelli

[lucirz]

@farias0924 yea my little brother told me yesterday cause he watched the end of this video and it was in the credits lol.

i only watched the first few seconds of it, when the first song ended i clicked it off lol

[TheDirekChew]

Sexy Yama got the best intro in all MMA. =)

[iwantsher]

sexy yama is a beast he should have won that cris leben fight

[LetsKillSomePeople]

@iwantsher I agree. If he didn't get winded he would of completely bashed Leben.

I hate Leben with a passion...

[iwantsher]

@LetsKillSomePeople ya me to hes a fag lol

[soldierdad5417]

@LetsKillSomePeople but he got ran out of steam like a low level fighter and proceeded to get his ass kicked by Bisping after that. At least he had the courage to let Bisping punch him in the face for 15 whole minutes. LOL!!!!!!

[estandid]

@iwantsher if he had more gas it surely would have been a ko/tko... he is going to destroy bisping

[iwantsher]

@estandid ya he was putting everything he had into it but he had to of been working on his stamina since then since thats why he lost

[soldierdad5417]

@iwantsher but he didn't, so I guess he's not that much of a beast. Or if he is, he's an exhausted beast who couldn't hold on long enough to defend a ridiculously sloppy triangle choke. Don't hang from another dude's balls on the internet, it's kinda weird.

[iwantsher]

@soldierdad5417 sorry im not so upset with my life to try and tell someone off on youtube LOL

[soldierdad5417]

@iwantsher I didn' tell you off, just pointed out that you're swinging from another dude's nuts on the internet. Not cool dude.

[LetsKillSomePeople]

@soldierdad5417 So Complimenting someone is "hanging of their nuts"?

[soldierdad5417]

@LetsKillSomePeople my God, what I typed is 2 sentences below this. I said swinging, the guy's swinging from another guy's nuts on the internet. And he's not complimenting him by stating his opinion as to who "should have" won the fight. Leben choked the guy out so it's disrespectful to him to come on here saying Akiyama should have won. Ever competed? You'd know what I'm talking about.

[LetsKillSomePeople]

@soldierdad5417 I wrestle and have done a little Judo and BJJ. But not any tournaments for Judo or Jiu-jitsu. By all means I congratulate Leben on his win with one of the most terrible triangles (Even though I don't like Leben.) but disrespect or not, people can say what they want.

[soldierdad5417]

@LetsKillSomePeople oh, so you'd be cool with someone coming up to you after a fight you won and saying "man, the other dude should have won!" True, people can say whatever they want. That doesn't mean they should.

[LetsKillSomePeople]

@soldierdad5417 No, I wouldn't be cool with it, but not everyone is going to like a certain fighter. There's always going to be people who don't like you.

[chey1112]

@iwantsher he got triangled , its not like it went to a decision .

he shoulda won hahaha what a retard

[iwantsher]

@chey1112 thats a cool story

[soldierdad5417]

@chey1112 retard's such a strong word, but I can't think of a word to describe someone who's favorite fighter is a dude that likes to let some really good guys in the UFC use his face as a punching bag. Bisping detroyed him, but couldn't get the finish. What's the deal Count?

[GangsterRomance]

@soldierdad5417

Being able to take a punch is half the battle..

He needs to work on his stamina conditioning..

I believe what the others mean is - Had he properly worked on all his strengths and weaknesses, then he would be a better fighter..

In essence: Leben in his best condition, and Akiyama in hi best condition; Akiyama would yield the title for the better fighter in those circumstances..

Pretty simple foresight can do wonders within communication, huh..

[domco2525]

@iwantsher

Yeah dude,

He should have won except "The Crippler" walked into the octagon with only two weeks rest since his last fight and handed that sucka his ass. And what happened in the Bisping fight? Sexy Yama is too worried about his pretty pretty face to compete in the UFC.

[iwantsher]

@domco2525 good for you

[Mannypacquia0]

@domco2525 yeah i dont understand why akiyama doesnt go to his strengthes.. he shouldve thrown bisping all over the place, but decided to stand with him the whole time basicly, i doubt he'll get kicked outta ufc thou, even if he lost another 3 times, if he keeps getting fight of the night, he wont be kicked out for a long time, simply because he puts on exciting fights. he shouldnt have lost to leben thou. but, o well shit happens.

[domco2525]

@Mannypacquia0

I'll tell you why Akiyama doesn't go to his strengths. He is out of shape, and he doesn't want to expend a lot of energy on throws or grappling. He came out in the Bisping fight looking to end it quickly with strikes. After Bisping weathered the storm, akiyama was gassed. Maybe akiyama should spend more time training, and less time at photo shoots for glamor magazines.

[Predatis]

@domco2525 Crazy. Sexyama is too sexy to care. Being the sexiest man in MMA is a tough job.

[lildertygangsta]

@domco2525 he anit out of shape dude he would of destroyed bisbing if he was in shape lmao

[lildertygangsta]

@domco2525 he anit out of shape dude he would of destroyed bisbing if he was in shape lmao his body is bigger so he needs more oxygen for his muscles

[domco2525]

@lildertygangsta

Are you capable of writing a coherent sentence? 1st, you claim Akiyama isn't out of shape, then you say he would have destroyed Bisping if he had been in shape. Which is it? Then you assert his body is so big it needs more oxygen. Akiyama is a professional fighter, so he damn well better understand the physiology of his own body. Either drop a weight class, or get in better shape so his heart and lungs can supply his muscles so they can perform inside the cage.

[Ninjamateo]

this is how you make a highlight video I hate all those dumbasses that make them with poor quality video or just all music you need to hear the action

[viciushap]

conoces otros videos o paginas donde ver mas combates,si es de judo mejor gracias.javierruiz1

[viciushap]

que loco este chabon en todos los video gana.habra perdido algun combate?

[javierrruiz1]

@viciushap buscalo en la wikipedia y si ha perdido jej

[illbeurcheapnovelty]

Ladies love sexiyama. Its science.

[KronicStudiosdotcom]

i wonder if Jackson's camp will kneel down with him

[BC2k809]

@KronicStudiosdotcom yeah that would be funny to see

[rkswlqjq4]

Those 15 Dislikes come from those people who got ass kicked by Akiyama.

[oOMaGMaHOo]

@rkswlqjq4

That point proves he doesn't kick many peoples asses, which is true. Idiot.

[superapplefanboy]

@rkswlqjq4 ahhaah

[biclighter1990]

@rkswlqjq4 hahahaha for sure!:P

[damendred1]

Mfing Ezekiel choked ouuut. That's effing pimp

[TheSuperRocketman]

dude looks like the most pissed off person in the world when he fights.

[g8le]

great editing and so on, great music

[hellscience]

In his fights in UFC, he had everything except cardio... After he addresses that problem, he should be a top middleweight.

[JackHammer360]

@hellscience I totally agree he´s ground game is perfect and he´s got a very technical striking, I hope he improves his cardio for his next fight (bisping)

[g8le]

@JackHammer360

indeed. When's the bisping fight?

[JackHammer360]

@g8le ufc 120 (october 16)

[TeHGoodReverend]

@JackHammer360 yeah, he lost to Leben because he got tired :(

[ChuckFinleytube]

@TeHGoodReverend yeah that and the fact that no one mentioned to akiyama that cris lebens head is such mush already that punching it is useless.

[RyanSWIss1]

whats controversial bout him if i may ask?

[kinsag]

I can wait to see him fight on ufc 120 in London, finaly UFC will be in EU. Its pitty hes 35 already, but I still hope he can make it big in UFC...

[MrFlyingMonkeyMan]

@kinsag hey remember randy is 46 and looking good, and sexyama is a similar style (greco/judo) sohe might go on for a while to come, and chuck looked his best at 38, hendo at 36, MMA fighters last a lot longer than boxers (i reckon cos they take way less head shots)

[MultiNeiNei]

SEXYAMA FOR THE WIN !!

[JerseyChi]

Akiyama is a good fighter but he needs to start checking leg kicks and stop brawling in fights. He could be a force if he fixed a few things up.

[ArlisX]

hes got a lot of heart, very good skills and hes gonna do good in ufc despite losing to leben

[Lycanthrope31]

Yoshihiro did so good actually going toe-to-toe with Leben in the stand up. The guy hadn't fought for over a year; everyone gets out of practice. Now that he's lost for the first time against someone actually in his weight class, we can expect him to step his game up so hard and KNOCK BISPING THE FUCK OUT!

[johnsninja]

His spinning back hand is like lightening! I would not want to be on the end of that!

[RevolutionistFTG]

This guy throws hands & whooped everyones ass in a Gi... This niggas a beast.

[81CCCP90]

unfortunately he ran out of gas in his last fight, doing good until then :/

[ww54ww]

@81CCCP90 what do you mean? he did awesome! just a mistake. hell be back

[eazyc2]

whats the name of the song from 0:00 to 1:04 beautiful song very soothing

[eazyc2]

@crankatorium ahaha funny shit. it makes me laugh everytime i hear that song play and akiyama coming out ahahah shits funny

[ww54ww]

@eazyc2 time to sat goodbye by andrea bocelli hope it helped

[ww54ww]

@ww54ww say*

[burningknuckle26]

Sexyama needs to step his cardio game up!!!! He was beasting on leben the majority of the fight then gassed and got caught in sub. Fight of the fucking night though. I thought the sex was gonna get the UD.

[ManiaCop100]

I only went on this cus joe rogen told me to, check out his videos.

[tsi2568]

Akiyama hopefully will win tonight.

[nobb2009]

holy shit i feel sorry for Chris.

[LopezLenon]

is it legal to grab your own gi to submit people in the leauges he is from?i'm refering to the submission at 9:00

[dennissittner]

lets go CHRIS LEBEN

[tripleraven]

Chris leben is gonna fuckin die. Repping Japan

[Lycanthrope31]

Its about time the UFC got a badass Asian!

[DLeeMusik]

representing koreans...finally

[D71989]

@DLeeMusik his representing both that why he has japan flag one arm and korean on the other. his mom is korean but he was born in Japan.

[D71989]

@DLeeMusik Don't forget about Dong hyun kim the korean who hasn't lost in ufc, he been around longer then akiyama

[qwertywolf2]

@DLeeMusik Hey don't forget Don Hyung Kim who just raped Amir Sodallah during prelims (boring but effective) and of course the Korean Zombie who probably pulled off the greatest fight of the year bar none.

[TeHGoodReverend]

@qwertywolf2 Haha, the "Korean Zombie" fight was great! I still think he won that fight, but meh the judges always see something different =|. Akiyama makes both Japan and Korea proud =).

[SinisterSkip]

Yoshihiro Akiyama rules. Great striking, very good groundgame, good takedown defense, good takedowns. Complete fighter. Too bad Silva is injured. Now Yoshihiro is gonna give Chris Leben the beating of a lifetime.

[elliotkool]

@SinisterSkip i hope he dominates like crazy. looking forward to it!

[overthehill91]

chris leben is actually a laughable opponent for akiyama.

[spartankk]

very good!

[purplefreakshow]

nice high lights.. keep up the good work man

[flushtwice]

what's the song in the beginning plz ?

[henh32]

@flushtwice - The songs are listed at the end of the video

[lionidascs5]

This guy is nasty man he litterally punchn that guy at the end to death....five stars!

[Cutsmanable]
