ah thanks for that.
-
@TheTerrorUforgot Not to my thinking, he sought medical attention after several weeks, unfortunately it was too late and was informed he was permanently blind. Then hid the fact he was blind to protect the sport.
-
@BadSmaxx So, like I said right?
-
@RobbieH02879 Not only that, after receiving his BJJ Black Belt he then founded the Japanese Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation and the Pareastra gyms in Japan.

@RobbieH02879 Spot on, I'm always curious where people get their false information when the truth is so readily available. Nakai: "Every time I fought with a brown belt I would ask the organizers “Can I fight in this competition with so-and-so belt?” and at the Pan-Americans they said that I needed the black belt, but I didn’t have a main teacher — I had a lot of different instructors but not one set teacher. For me, I got it from the Federation. " (It being his Black Belt in BJJ)

@TheTerrorUforgot No, he kept it a secret for a few years that he was blind to protect the sport of Vale Tudo.
-
@TheTerrorUforgot I have not heard that. From what I have gathered and watched interviews, it was purely tough guy pride that kept him from seeking medical attention. Either way it is a terrible waste. I'm personally familiar with this behavior. I failed to seek medical advice for a severe injury to my leg and back, waited to seek medical attentionuntil one morning when I couldn't walk. One dead nerve and another partially severed later, I'm a nearly useless human being. I regret it every day.

@B0l0joe That is his real name. Dokonjonosuke is like a stage name for fighting.
-
@BadSmaxx Didn't he do it so the sport wouldn't get a bad rep?

I like it,very nice.
It doesn't matter who is ranked what or anything like that. Just that Yuki Nakai has balls and one eye and that this was a wonderful match that I enjoyed every minute of. Kudos to the uploader.

Nakai has the biggest heart (and biggest balls) in MMA hands down. Its a shame is career was cut short from getting blinded by that douchebag in Vale Tudo. His legacy lives on in the awesomeness that is Shinya Aoki, his protege.
