Dynamite!! 2009 Preview: Quote of the Day: Tatsuya Kawajiri Asks the Ref To Be Ready

Photo by Scott Peterson via MMA Weekly

"Referees, be sure to step in and stop the fight on time tomorrow, because I might get carried away in the moment and my many punches may end up destroying my opponent."

Tatsuya Kawajiri at the press conference before Dynamite!! 2009 where he'll be facing Kazunori Yokota per Sherdog.

I love it when Crusher talks shit. Aoki comes off like a total clown when he does it, but not Kawajiri.

I wish they were fighting one another.

I love Japanese MMA smack talk, it’s so much more entertaining.

The mat is my church, the ground is my heaven, Jiu-Jitsu is my religion. And once you hit the ground you're in my world. My world is like the ocean, I’m like a shark and most people don't even know how to swim - Draculino

I agree

Here’s what we have in America:

Rich Franklin: I don’t want my fights going to a decision, so I’ll do everything possible to win this fight.

Kenflo: I finish fights.

Mir: (Something about limbs)

Forrest: …I’m the guy for that.

Everyone else: I’m the better fighter. When I win, it will put me in the mix for a title shot.

You’re suggesting that fighters have different mentalities by hemisphere? Totally!

Are people not allowed to have opinions anymore?

Most of those guys listed are a boring promo. That’s all I’m saying.

Sorry if I was too anti-MMA for you. I expect a snide lecture/comment forthcoming like you do with everyone.

Eh..

Wasn’t I asserting my opinion? Logic fail.

geez…. he should really be fighting aoki.

Doesn’t his foreshadowing negate the “in the moment” reference?

WAR CRUSHER

That is all.

Shitchyeah

My friends think I’m crazy, but I think that Crusher has the best chance of any non-UFC fighter of besting BJ Penn. It’s still not a high chance, persay, but I think he poses the biggest threat outside of Zuffa.

I completely agree with this opinion, and my friends reaction is exactly the same. Nice to see I’m not the only one.

Gotta say

I agree. Strong wrestler, good power, decent striking, and he might be the only Japanese fighter to actually cut weight. Ishida makes me cringe when I watch him fight. He belongs in the bantamweight division, not lightweight.

Please forward this to Steve Mazzagatti for UFC 108.
