Don't know if anyone had the opportunity it take in the K-1 - Dynamite!! Power of Courage 2009 on New Years EVE....7 1/2 hours of non stop action...unbelievable....

Shinya Aoki is an absolute beast....I hope each and everyone of you from the MMA Love covenent can get the opportunity to witness the last master piece he put together....

Here is a quote from sherdog.com that encapsulates my thoughts as well....

"Perhaps the biggest impact was made by No. 2-ranked lightweight and Dream champion Shinya Aoki, who ran game on Sengoku lightweight champion Mizuto Hirota and then raised a post-fight ruckus by shouting and a flipping the middle finger to his wounded opposition and the crowd. Aoki swiftly moved in on Hirota and tripped him to the canvas, where he trapped the battle-tested fighter's arm behind his back.

Aoki then gradually maneuvered into a brutal hammer lock variation that snapped Hirota's arm at the elbow, prompting the referee to step in. Hirota suffered a broken humerus, a long bone that runs from the shoulder to the elbow. The creative but hard-to-watch technique made a last-minute case for submission of the year consideration, though Aoki’s antics drew widespread condemnation. Aoki was reprimanded by Dream officials, and apologized for the display after the fight, saying it was in part motivated by Hirota being too proud to tap and direction from event producers to finish Hirota. Event producer Keichi Sasahara did say the display would lead to American fans to “embrace this illusion of Aoki” and pique interest in him fighting stateside. "

My interest is piqued...His display of emoition was triggered by the fans chanting Hirota's name...He ran around the ring "flipping" off the entire crowd...WE NEED MORE BAD GUYS IN OUR SPORT TO MAKE IT GROW.....

BJ vs Aoki NEEDS to happen....this would be the fight of the ages....

About time you come over to the smart side XHD! Aoki is sick. ... I'd pay big bucks just to watch him vs. BJ in a BJJ match!
