Cage Force held Cage Force EX-eastern bound at Tokorozawa Shimin Taiikukan, Saitama on February 28. Yoshihiro Akiyama appeared in the event as a second of his teammate Yasunori Kanehara and talked a little bit about himself.

"The UFC is such a big event. I have many things to do before debuting and will learn a lot from Yushin Okami," said Akiyama. He picked Wanderlei Silva when he was asked who he wanted to fight with. He also added that he would be very happy if his friend, Satoshi Ishii, sign with the UFC.

He currently trains with Okami and Caol Uno at Wajutsu Keishukai in Tokyo.

Akiyama is going to have a press conference in Tokyo on March 3 and in Korea on March 4.

Wand via **** choke, or Thai clinch knees, he may not be The Axe Murderer of old, but he still can knock the sexy right outta him. This is one fight I can't pull for Sexyama in. When is Sexyama making his debut, cause unless it's later in the year Wand will have just come off of fighting Franklin?

Damn, I can just see Wandy going ape shit and totally massacre him like every other Japanese grappler he faced from Japan. Though I'm being ignorant cause I've only seen about half of Akiyama's fights :dunno:.

Sexyama takes this. I hope Joe Silva doesn't make this fight, cause its bad bad bad for Silva. I'm much more of an Akiyama fan though.

Now I know I posted earlier about not being sure of Sexyama's skills in the (ugly) face of Wandy's striking, but reading further about his insane sexy fight mojo has increased my confidence. I would attempt to swing from his nuts, but I can't hold on.

Wanderlei has a good record against judoka's. All the fights pretty much have nothing to do with stomps and soccer kicks, the fights have gone to the ground and Wanderlei was not submitted. Though it will be Wanderlei's first fight at MW and it isn't a gimme fight at all. Both can win. Good fight, but I'd rather they both have a fight against a lower tier guy as thier first outing at MW in the UFC. Something along the lines of Leben/Gouviea/Quarry. :thumbsup:
