Great news for Japanese mma. Satoshi Ishii is a Judo Gold medalist who was supposed to bring Japanese mma to it's past glory. He's popular and marketable. Dana White had him come to the New year ufc show and there was fear he would fight there depriving Japanese mma with a potential super star and huge draw.I'm so glad he's in Japan. The past dream ratings were much higher than expected so Japanese mma is on the up and up. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/mma/post/2009/06/67498833/1?csp=34
