I respect his skills but I dont like him.. I dont like how the japanese refs always favor his lil rubber band ass and cater to his lil needs... Refs in japan always favor japanese fighters but the way they baby Aoki is crazy to say the least..
What I do like alot about Aoki is the facial impressions the man has when he loses and hes being punched in his face.. Its epic.. Hes has got to be one of the ugliest mofo in all of mma . Hes right up there with the dean of mean..
I jus wanted to get that off my chest.
My post was edited by SpoKen to cut down on offensive language.
Watch your language dude! I'm a quarter Japanese and frankly I'm offended not by the insults of Aoki, but by just using the word "Jap"! This isn't World War 2 so grow up DUDE!

I don't think he meant it that way...looks like he was abbreviating Japanese, but you are right it is a racial slur so lets all be nice. Don't let things get out of control here please. :thumbsup:

How did the ref favor Aoki? Hansen kicked Aoki in the nuts then kicked Aoki in the face as he was grabbing his groin. The ref restarted the fight in the same position.
exactly, and he kicked him twice in the face BTW, But at the same time it wasnt exactly Hansen's fault either, the ref didnt even know he had been kicked in the groin and he didnt stop the fight.
I didnt get a good look at the groin kick, but the way he hesitated before he fell after the head kick made it seem like he was over selling the shit outta the whole situation. I cant stand Aoki either. I think he is one of the most overrated fighters on the planet. I would like to see him fight some of the top lightweights from the UFC. I wouldnt give him a snowballs chance in hell of beating BJ, Florian, Maynard, Edgar, Griffin, Huerta, Sanchez, or Guida. I feel like a lot of the lightweights in Japan are overrated because they fight lesser competition. Just my two cents.
Gracias for the vid. Yeah, he got kicked in the groin big time, but why the hell did he hesitate and look at Hansen before he fell over? The commentators were right, this had Remy written all over it.
I Tivo'd it, and it didn't really look like a bad groin shot. It looked like he got a small nut shot and then in "selling" it, he fell into an upkick. I dunno, I'll have to watch it again, I suppose. And it didn't look like any of his handlers were tending to his balls during his timeout.
And him repeatedly turning away from Hansen's punches mid-punch, to turn them into "punches to the back of the head" was pretty weak as Mezger and Schiavello pointed out.
what would you do? See the punches coming and just sit there and take it in the face? Seriously, turning your head so your opponent can't hit you is pretty smart to me. Isn't that the point of fighting... to avoid damage while inflicting as much as you can? Unless you think being hit in the face like a man is somehow the right way to fight.
Am I the only one that got a good laugh at him looking at Hansen to confirm that he had been kicked in the head before he "fell over in pain"? I dont know how much that kick to the groin or the kick to the head hurt, he probably deserved his five minutes, but he didnt need to over sell it like that.
I don't know what vid you're watching. The second he was kicked in the nuts his knees buckled. He only looked back at Hansen after the first head kick and it was like "wtf dude?"
I don't know how well Aoki would do in ufc without the spandex pants, he would loose some grip, it would make a big difference. He really needs to get some stand up skills.
I agree that he's getting a special treatment in Japan. It's not the first time that something "controversial" has happened in an Aoki fight. Actually, I don't really remember the last time he didn't look at the ref as if he wanted to say "He hurt me! Punish him!". When Hansen's foot was on the ropes the guys around the ring were furiously trying to make his foot go away. When Aoki was using the ropes to improve his position, they didn't do shit. It's just that way and has been for ages. I remember it was the same in PRIDE.

nah, your ignorance aside: "jap" is most certainly a racial slur. When my wife's granny says "******" i tell her it's not an appropriate word, despite her assertion that she's not a racist. She's 90 years old, what's your excuse? (that was, of course, rhetorical because there really isn't one other than ignorance... which i guess you've already claimed and that's cool)
Dispite your new hardcore/scary sig: you've clearly learned something here, so cheers to changing it.
and, thanks for the neg Partner, i'll wear it with pride considering the op/source/issue :thumb02:
Since you feel your all knowing I guess you think it was justified to neg me first without waiting for a response to find out for sure if I intended for it to be a racial slur.
So you are welcome for the returned favor it was my pleasure. Also thanks for the positive rep..
My original post may have came off to some as a bit border line since I was bitching about the scene there but I can assure who ever it was not intended to be a racial comment. It was intended to be nothing else more then me saying a Brit or Aussie .
No more racial stuff in here or we have to delete the thread. Just discuss why or why you don't hate Aoki. Not his nationality or especially anyone else's on this forum. Keep it on topic please. :thumbsup:
nah man, not all knowing... just like... 'most' knowing. No worries, i accept your appology. :thumb02:
lets be BFFs. slumber party?
Hey hey, before you start up DW, on topic: i don't think Aoki would have a chance in hell of climbing up the UFC LW rankings. I enjoy watching him but there's no denying he's a sales man when it comes to the refs.
haha, maybe i was a little harsh by implying he'd do nothing but he'd have to loose the magic nexgen disco pants. Clay Guida would be an interesting test for him in the octagon.
I dont think Aoki could be to much of a contender in the ufc.. IM sure he could pull off a few wins but there is no way he could dominate.. His lack of stand up and lack of favoring refs there would def hinder his style. Im not denying he has some kills I do enjoy watching him most of the time only because of his sick surprising submissions.
Would his tights be aloud in the ufc?
Did anyone notice his comment at the dream event about the ufc? Honestly I couldnt really tell if he was taking a hatred shot at the ufc for dream or if it was more a cocky callout .
Competitors may only use Zuffa and commission approved 4-6 oz gloves, designed to protect the hand but not large enough to improve the striking surface or weight of the punch.
Commission approved MMA shorts and kickboxing trunks are the only uniforms allowed. Shirts, gis and shoes, and the problems they present for grabbing are not allowed.
jesus, has no one else seen the big lebowski? Its a quote from a movie, a failed attempt at humor, my bad, chill out folks. "this aggression will not stand".
