I hope this doesn't turn into a, "Japanese fighters suck" thread, because really, they don't.

Honestly Damone, I never thought that. But now I am really starting to think so. But not just Japanese fighters, Im talking all fighters that fight in Japan. I think the only one that could make the transition to the UFC is Kawajiri. Sakurai is good and fun to watch, but too big for LW and too small for WW. People say he is a top 10 WW but I dont see it. Too many big solid wrestlers that would put him on his back in the UFC.
Negation, I dont think Kid sucks. I just think he is overrated.
Edit: JZ got skills, I think he could do some damage in the UFC. He just wouldnt beat BJ or Sherk.
