I don’t remember the exact link (Firefox deleted my history) but it had to with the TV deal signing between the UFC, TV Bank, and Hikari TV.

Here’s a link featuring a different picture of the above fighters:

Once again

The size difference between Akiyama and Okami is ridiculous.

Even Fukuda looks a lot bigger than him. Such a shame he didn’t drop to ww. Chances are he gets cut if he loses to Marquardt, but its his decision not to move down

so true, This pic just shows me that much more that he really is a WW. Let’s hope he gets that one day and finally decides to cut down ?

They look really happy to be there

Maybe they are all getting root canals done later in the day.

Especially Omigawa, lol

In fairness, Omigawa never seems to look happy
