Akiyama is straight nasty, glad I'm not the only one on board. I'm sure you liked those last couple sexy shots of him, jas hungren. His KO of Kang is brutal.
That Dana White benching vid is weird. Seems kind of effortless for him.
Haha, yeah maybe there's something sneaky going on in the Dana video. It did look weird. I'll rewatch it.
Here's an excerpt from an article about how much of a pimp Akiyama is:
FEG's push to market Yoshihiro Akiyama (Pictures) as MMA's latest pretty boy could not be more transparent. After greasing up and battering Kazushi Sakuraba (Pictures) at the Dynamite 2006 show, Akiyama has become the fighter that fans love to hate. Last Saturday was a different story, however, with all the female fans being moved to ringside and their male counterparts being relegated to the back rows.
Over the next 30 minutes, some of Japan's biggest TV stars discussed exactly why Akiyama is so damn sexy. His impeccable fashion, his soulful singing voice, his popularity in Korea and of course his body were all quoted.
"Usually, fighters have ‘on and off' [periods in training]," said Genki Sudo (Pictures). "But Akiyama-san always has that body. He is always ready to fight."
When he finally appeared, fans went predictably wild and one female host unsuccessfully proposed to the Japanese-born Korean.
"I would like to fight with [Mike] Tyson or Asashoryu," said Akiyama when not talking about his latest pair of crocodile skin loafers and breaking hearts. "I would like to fight against the bad boys."
