Hiroshima in the build up to Diaz/Sakurai?
I could be wrong, but in the build up to the Diaz/Sakurai fight were they showing black and white footage of Hiroshima?!

Hiroshima
The Japanese sometimes have a hard time letting things go, I guess this is one way that they used it!

Well Hiroshima was a big deal, but I think invoking the Pacific war for the sake of an MMA match is a little over the top.

No offense to the Japanese, but we're whooping them in mma as well now.

Didn't know it was that serious still.
I guess it's no different than Mirko and the Croatian war footage used in his fights.

you got to love japanese promoters, nothing like chilling home sunday evening(or mondays) taking a hit of the bong and watch DREAM fight previews without subtitles, suddently you see bombs, pearl harbor, cartoons, rock band, spaceships and then comes the freak match-up  |

Yup, they can certainly entertain. If not a little oddly sometimes.

In Japan it's all about entertainment, very little about actual skill!
