Japan is calling out to Kimbo. It's the perfect place for him to score a few more big pay days in MMA if that's what he wants to do. And considering the history of African-American fighters becoming mega-stars in Japan -- see Sapp, Bob -- Kimbo might be just the ticket to kick start an MMA revival in Japan. Here's hoping.
