asian fighters are so skillful and humble, no wonder they were the first one to invent fighting

[illmindful]

Shinya aoki is one of my favorites.His grappling skill is just outsanding

[jitteryjoe]

Kikuno needs to go back to Zombie stance - he was almost unstoppable. Hands down got him beat up by a nobody.

In Zombie stance he outstruck JZ and Alvarez badly.

"Dou desuka" ... is this flavour of the month in Japan?!

@TheJcvd The style of Kikuno is based on judo and Kyokushin karate. He is not good at grappling in strikers.

I feature the theme where he can keep techniques such as the karate that the killing each other of a no rule assumed alive for the fight of the MMA rule to.

It is natural to be able to see a traditional old technique heterogeneously in modern MMA.

I feel his trial very interesting and support you.
