Denis Kang vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama

[DrJinIchi]

Poor Dennis Kang, world class at everything but glass chin.

[cspark809]

Dennis Kang. One of the mis-fortunate fighter. His well rounded fighter with great skill, but glass jaw.

[ptk365]

@S0ul986 Yoshihiro



[destrampadilla]

I knew it, I knew mr. japan was just getting him tired, and i knew he was looking for that chance to knock him out

[bazooka9303]

they're both great technician and all-rounder. too bad they're naturally small for ufc middleweight, they both didn't seem to be physically fair with their opponents at ufc especially akiyama

[TheAsianpro]

SEXYAMA!!

[lcantthink0faname]

akiyama, i hope he wins his next fight

[allelbows79]

i love akiyama cause this guy has balls!!! he fights everyone and everywhere...................h­ell, he even fought a 265 pound monster in le banner in his second fight.

he is an old school fistfighter......dispite his judo background. that may hurt him careerwise but he makes memorable fights.

like going toe to toe with chris leben. this guys a real fighter.

[rokksohn]

Both korean fighters fighting for differnet countries. Hhaa that's so cool

[jackripthedoor]

akiyama not japanese. korean in japan

[ordaboy]

@jackripthedoor he is 4th generation japanese...his family residing in japan for over almost 70 years now, according to his bloodline he is over 90% japanese with his great great great grandparents being from korea.

[sie7]

@ordaboy no, that would only be the case if his great great great grandparents married only full-blooded japanese people, but I think you added an extra "great" in there, in addition to the fact that you were mistaken about how his family only married Korean Japanese citizens; thus he is actually mostly a full-blooded Korean. it is actually crazy how the Yakuza is controlled by a Korean-Japanese as well...

read up on the facts plz

[ordaboy]

@sie7 i know hes 4th generation zainichi,and regained his japanese citizenship in 01',legally in japan you must have 1 japanese parent to get citizenship,being born in japan is not enough.That and over the years japan has colonized parts of korea,and over even more years those japanese returned to japan and have long waits to get theyre citizenship.Those people are considered japanese korean and they arent even korean at all,just born in korea.your saying Kenichi Shinoda is korean decent?

[ingridspfc]

i like yoshiro akayma japan winner

[tiggaplz461]

akiyama is a monster

[eas5133]

@fjj8: maybe dude. He looks stocky/built af! Compared to what I seen @UFC: 133

[YawYanStriker]

the commentator keeps on saying straight but kang was throwing jabs lol

[fjj8]

Akiyama is good, but he was juicing like a motherfucker during this time.

[SuperJAMMARS]

BANZAIII!!!! @7:08- 7:10

[HistoryHmoobGuy]

korean vs korean

[kanjatsiam]

Whos care, Korean or Japanese they look alike!

[kok1able]

@kanjatsiam that is why i shot a malaysian over a vietnamese last week...shut the fuck up.

[MrJonplane]

He's fucking Korean, but his name alone still makes me proud to be Japanese. SEXYAMA > BELFORT

[folkncoke2]

Aki-sexy-yama

[FairtexChamp]

Kang had a good start but he was just too tired.

[aikipablo100]

Formidable Akiyama !!

[filthynumber1]

is it just me or his getting greased up (like he did against Sakuraba) starting at 1:25 ? like whats the point is he checking him for weapons or greasing

[blade83336]

don no why put denis kang reminds me of patt berry

[WildAxe07]

Denis Kang is a good fighter! Nice fight!

[ikrymidid]

very nice upper cut at the end

[MrGangboy57]

he is polite

[KXRB16]

Akiyama is my favorite Mixed Martial Artist! Go Akiyama!

[camby81]

Akiyama is a pussy. he always comes up with excuses facing big time fighters.

[SindielxEternal]

@camby81 You are clearly an imbecile.

[hyundaipride]

@camby81 like who.. he still fights with them. doesnt give up, and fights with heart

[fnizzledizzle]

Denis looks so sad.. I feel sorry for him

[wadofist]

I feel so sorry for Denis Kang...such a complete fighter, but ever since his fiance died he's been broken...23 fight win streak if i have my facts right...she accidently ods on pain medication and then his career dies with her...its so terrible, i love to watch these guys compete, and id love to see them acheive some measure of success again, unlikely as it is

[ESADESMU]

meh canadian ahahahahhaah

[kidasterorig111]

1 guy said asians can't fight and bet a million dollars.

[pldecal1]

why was the ref standing so far away at the end? lol

[RajmanGamingHD]

Cant believe both these guys got their asses kicked by Bisping lol

[JustinTheBaboon]

justin, are you hmong?

[JustinThoj]

@JustinTheBaboon Sure am =)

[JustinTheBaboon]

@JustinThoj Lol, i'm justin lauj, and i'm an mma freak as well. so u like akiyama i see?

[JustinThoj]

@JustinTheBaboon haha cool cool. Yeah, Akiyama's tight. Just gotta tweak up a few things to make sure he's more successful in the UFC.

[JustinTheBaboon]

@JustinThoj i'm a machida fan, but now im leaning towrds jon jones lol, but i think akiyama and okami are good fighters, but i cant believe akiyama lost to bisping, his gameplan for that fight was dumb

[xIegionx]

@JustinThoj Not many hmong fighters are there??

[JustinThoj]

@xIegionx There's a handful around, but that's it.

[xIegionx]

@JustinThoj Name some.

Professionals not amateurs.

[JustinThoj]

@xIegionx Sam and Lah Thao. They're trying out for the next TUF season, whether they make it on or not we'll see.

[xIegionx]

@JustinThoj who?

[JustinThoj]

@xIegionx Sam and Lah Thao, from Wisconsin. Also, one of their teammates Surour Vue fights professionally too.

[gichun1]

two guys are korean... what a sad game.... actually denis kang is half canadian and half korean. and akiyama is pure korean who was born in japan.

[gomifireballkid]

two washed-up fighters

[EyeTalkShit69]

@yc323

if lost another fight my friend.. i think he still get chance to make good fight. maybe in hes next he win.. do not say his done in ufc. that is rude remark.

[khaiho95]

AKiyama is a fucking traitor of Japan, he betrayed Japan to fight for Korea

[GizmoMofo7]

@khaiho95 they are both korean, shut up

[kingoftheworld260]

@GizmoMofo7 lol. If they are Korean, then Mike Shinoda, Paul Kariya, Masi Oka, Ryan Higa, Sean Fujiyoshi, Lyoto Machida, Alberto Fujimori etc etc are all Japanese. By the way Akiyama is pure shit, so you can have him if you want.

[GizmoMofo7]

@kingoftheworld260 first i thought, why you were being so uptight? then i noticed you were japanese.

i'm not surprised. anyways, do i care if they are japanese. not really

akiyama might be "pure shit", but he does have class in front of japanese booing crowds.

[kingoftheworld260]

@GizmoMofo7 Give me the proof from any of my statement where was I being "uptight"? Or maybe you were. I was just giving facts to let you notice how it's ridiculous to say that Kang and Akiyama are Korean but like I said we will give you Akiyama because he suck.

[GizmoMofo7]

@kingoftheworld260 khaiho95 - "AKiyama is a fucking traitor of Japan, he betrayed Japan to fight for Korea"

--i was replying to him, just "giving facts" lol

well you did come off confrontational. akiyama pure shit, let me retort....he did force rape most japanese opponents he faced. just to throw it in, if somebody has blood of any nationality, they are that nationality, my preference of course.

[kingoftheworld260]

@GizmoMofo7 See? You are the one who's being uptight and not me. Why cant you be easy with the reply? And oh by the way all the Japanese opponents he was facing were all CANs and nobodies in Japan (Shibata, Tonooka etc, who weren't even MMA fighter), now let's see him facing our real middleweights like Okami, Fukuda or even lighter ones like Kawajiri he will die

[GizmoMofo7]

@kingoftheworld260 i'm not easy with the reply? hey i'm trying my best haha, well, called you uptight because i really don't give a damn if mike shinoda is japanese or not. you shouldn't care if they are mixed or korean. i just label them as korean as if it is in their blood, 100 percent or 1 percent since it's kinda relevant to what that idiot khaiho95 was talking about.

you know what, ill sugar coat that for you, just for you! akiyama is "korean-japanese" and kang is "korean-canadian"

[EyeTalkShit69]

sexyyama destroy this korean guy woooo..........

akiyama get anther chance hope. i think he can be ufc champion one day yout think sooo..

[pausastronzo]

I really can't understand Akiyama ...I like him but sometimes he seems such a moron

[kingoftheswing000]

@pausastronzo ?!?!? huh what makes him seem like such a moron ?!? I mean in this sport there in an insurmountable number of idiots (the list is pretty big so I won't start naming names...) but Akiyama hasn't given me any reason to think him a moron......

[pausastronzo]

@kingoftheswing000 Don't misunderstand me...I'm a long date Yoshihiro fan, and I'm a bit frustrated about his last fights, in particular the one against Bisping. He seemed the only strategy he could come up was to sit in the pocket and load up his right hand......

[kingoftheswing000]

@pausastronzo yeah though I thought the bisping fight was quite entertaining (and I thought could have gone either way) I do see what you mean, and why did he not utilize ANY of his wicked judo in that fight ?!? I was pretty disapointed about that.....

[KellyKorean]

LOL i felt bad for Kang. Dude looked like he was dead, man! Shittt.

[ReconRaptor]

Kang had a short UFC run, too bad.

[BandakaKush]

I wonder what would have happened if the fight went to the ground?

[BrutalBoxing]

His Judo can give guys fits, but the bottom line is that he is much more than just a Judo player

[Svittidiu]

Penis Kang.

[tommiedepew1]

that was one sexy knockout.

[Metallica09Tapout]

LMAO 7:05 sounds awful

[jahnxena]

@Metallica09Tapout thats what happens when somebody has an orgasm because of the sexiness that is akiyama

[jdowneyism]

@Metallica09Tapout

LOLOLOL



[lucirz]

korean vs korean :D

one is japanese but has korean lineage. the other is american with korean lineage :D

[kftkft]

boxing fans say mma fighters cant puch looool

well mma fighters can do a lot more than kust punching each other thats why their not gonna waste their time in a corrupt boxing ring!!!!!!

[jinac80]

sexy being molested at 1:28 so hawt

[draziom902]

kang was unconscious and hurt at the end. terrible. he will damage his brain that way. stop this madness.

[vitaminasHM]

@draziom902 you are right man... I mean... no protections... then they talk about bullfighting... but this is brutal yeah? I prefer traditional martial arts.

[draziom902]

@vitaminasHM Yeah i agree.

[jhobo1]

6:59 Thats what sexy does to ugly people

[bigwigwigbig]

:40 canadian trying to rep in a sea of japan

[shaun0069]

[TopazSkillMauler]

KO BITCH

[Ultimativnaruto]

[crono916]

[kenneth2951]

0:34 DENIIIIIIIIIIIIIS KUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAH!

[foguena]

vin diesel is sitting up there!!!cooll

[JPNpride100]

マウスピースふっとんでる・・・・・・・

[soulzero461]

秋山強すぎｗｗ

[MRjamesBrownJR]

that's funny how Akiyama used his real name in Korea: Choo Sung Hoon.

[RobDaFob]

@MRjamesBrownJR It's kinda like Mas Oyama but his original Korean name was Choi Baedal.

[poembapoemba]

they are both great fighers. to bad that i didn't see real judo in this one

[cornelwaugh]

he needs 2 fight at 170 he's undersized as a middleweight and alot of fighters in the UFC will hurt his ass

[jollywolly55]

Sorry but silva is going to win against akiyama

[yellowsneakers234]

I'm nervous for Akiyama against Wanderlei. I think he can win, but Wanderlei is obviously one punch away from taking it too. Akiyama has to use his reach and learn to check those leg kicks agaisnt a Muay Thai guy like Silva. The fact that he beat a big and dangerous dude in Belcher gives me some confidence.

[grind55]

@yellowsneakers234

Yea Silva is a slugger, Akyama shouldn't trade with him. He needs to use his Judo and take Silva down and do the ground and pound game or submission.

[yellowsneakers234]

@grind55 Yup, that sounds about right. I think he'll employ a similar fight plan as he used against Belcher, except prob go for the takedown a lot more and clinch whenever possible. He has become very confident in his stand up since the Kang fight and rightfully so. He too possesses the KO power to take out Silva, but he's gonna be playing Silva's game. It's gonna be crazy and I predict a finish for sure........hopefully with Akiyama as the winner.

[TopazSkillMauler]

Deneeeessssss kong

[ooJDMoo]

NICE

[DikkiSeamen]

even his mouth piece was blown away....

[StarTrackTrooper]

kang doesn't look korean TO ME.

[JustinThoj]

@StarTrackTrooper He's half hahaha

[StarTrackTrooper]

damn maybe because im not korean at all but i can't tell at all. He kicks ass!!

[Lee7676]

@StarTrackTrooper his father is korean, mother is french canadian

[StarTrackTrooper]

@Lee7676 can't see it but ok

[femaleasian1]

@StarTrackTrooper

His father is Korean and mother is French. His brother Julian Kang is one hot guy. Damn.

[femaleasian1]

@StarTrackTrooper

Sure? Whats not to believe?

[DrPaulKimD]

@StarTrackTrooper Yoshihiro Akiyama is korean and Denis Kang is half korean

[StarTrackTrooper]

@DrPaulKimD Yeah bro i might have figured that out 8 months ago, but oh gee thanks for confirming !! :\

[DrPaulKimD]

@StarTrackTrooper oooh shit ma bad didnt see the thing xD

[crono916]

@StarTrackTrooper LMAO, thats because most of the mma fighters he faced have beat the korean out of him.

[StarTrackTrooper]

@crono916 Lolz yeah

[akudoz]

Misaki kicked both of their ass hahahah made the dog eaters sleep hahahahaha

[krnboi99]

@akudoz yeah and the fight against akiyama was decided as a No Contest b/c it was an illegal blow

[azntrolldoll]

@akudoz i lost respect for misaki after their fight undoubtedly two great asian fighters but misaki has an attitude problem.

[TreeTrunk82]

Akiyama should be fighting at a much lighter weigh class. He looked tiny compared to belcher!! I think he could fight at 155-170. This weight class is too big for him

[sakurabastheman]

@TreeTrunk82 idk hes got a lot of power at MW if he were to drop weight classes I think he might lose some of that power, but you might be right he might do better at WW definetly looks like he could make the cut

[dermert]

@TreeTrunk82

As far as I know, Akiyama naturally walks around at about 185. So could probably cut down to welterweight. I'd just want him to do it the right way over a long period of time, then fight at welterweight.

[gchild123]

akiyama what a weird name

i know him as chu sung hoon

hes got a deadly charisma

[happiness752]

wow

[tomwalker389]

Who's more Korean- Kang or Akiyama?

[fakeygnuts]

@tomwalker389 Kang is ethnically half Korean, whereas Akiyama is full Korean.

However, both of them don't have Korean nationality.

[blaze886]

Isn't Akiyama Japanese? I think Kang is half korean, half white.

[TreeTrunk82]

i think akiyama is only a quarter japanese.. 3/4 korean

[kimjinseo]

no, he is 100% korean, but he is korean japanese.

[elioxunder]

Akiyama is half Korean and half Japanesse and Kang is half Korean and half French-Canadian.

[blueprophet9]

Akiyama is full Korean and a Japanese national. Kang is what you stated.

[360Sleep]

The ref took a day and a half to pat him down. Not because of grease, but because he just liked the way it felt.

[Rockmaster2112]

1:11

The screams of glee as sexyama takes his shirt off

[Rockmaster2112]

*gi, I mean, not shirt

[audiogarden1]

Definitely cant wait to see what this guy can do tonight, just hope he doesnt pull a kang against belcher

[Koreanboy827]

idk have cable... who won?
