According to Joe Rogan, the bigger the head, the better the chin… so if that’s the case, Ishii should be damn near invulnerable to strikes. heh. :)

I thought he looked huge in Dana’s vlog. He must be around 250. Big dude.

It looks like he’s standing in front of them both pictures. When you’re close to the camera it’s going to really exaggerate the perspective. Not saying he’s not huge, and his noggin does look big, but the photo isn’t %100 reliable.

I read somewhere (maybe here on BE) that Dana wants him to fight at 205 – is that going to be possible?

i read somewhere that he weighs 238. Dana wants him to cut to 205.. so maybe its just his head that is big and he still has room to cut more weight.

good question because...

i asked a international judo player/friend the same question yesterday. :)
It was explained to me that the japanese judo federation actually made ishii swap with another judo player – suzuki – and fight above 100kg at beijing while suzuki was to fight in under 100kg… the idea was that suzuki would have a better chance at under 100kg to win gold.

end story – suzuki got robbed by some retard ref in the first round in the under 100kg, and ishii well, the rest is history.

ippon – my fat ass.

Hahaha, in the words of Stephan Bonnar, the dude’s got a bucket for a head.

Tito's Brother from Another Mother?

His hands are as big as Lesnar’s. Can he punch?
What MT or TMA skills does he have?

I’m curious to hear about Randy’s intel on him, how long until he’s ready to compete, etc.
