KAWAJIRI talk about "AOKI vs Melendez" &"CAGE or RING?"

Of couere, I hope AOKI's victory,when He won, AOKI vs Me fight will be mega match, DREAM become big promotion...So I hope,

It is gambling,
it is high return,and high risk fight.

I wanted to say "WIN!!"...but I Wanted to say much more,"Don't CRY!!"

DREAM is made by Me and AOKI,there are many drama from DREAM.1.

In PRIDE Period,PRIDE champ is No,1 in the world supontaneously

But Time is changed, AOKI lose,so DREAM champion is not estimated as No.1.So DREAM fighter have to beat Melendez,

It is my business..
today,We have to won in USA,OK,I will go

Q:RING or Cage?

I do not comment about it,I think It is taboo fighter talk about it,It is field for fan and promoter.

Any fighter said"I can fight only ring!!"or "only cage!!"??? such fighter is out of questions.
Fighter should train any zone,any rules..In DREAM.14 become cage fight suddenly,but no man object it

SAMPLE

"If I lose a game.JAPAN MMA is the end"

from"GONG KAKUTOUGI"magazine

GONG(ゴング)格闘技2010年5月号

Q:You finally fight in Strikeforce(SF).what is reaction from friends about this news?

AOKI "it is very very good,everyone is excited"

Q:What do your sparring partners and other fighters say?
"they are ordinary attitude.it is our business"

Q:you said in 2009 NYeve,"I want to do many fight in 2010"but interval is about 4months..
"This(fight in SF) is big challenge.so negotiation become tough too...so,April fight is good timing,I think"

Q:in 2009 NYeve,Did you expect that your next fight is n USA
"I do not feel difference between Japan fight and USA fight.This is my business.so I clear my mission"

Q:you have already faced most of all DREAM lightclass top rankers.it have something to do with this SF coming?
"it is true that I need new motivation. actually,next card make my heart big.My basic position is not change,but field becomes wide" I start from Zero in SF.So I feel"OK,let's roll!!"I did my best at DREAM in 2years.I reset it,and see new something"

Q:You have been to tried grappling match in foreign country.Did you feel difference between home and away?
"Real deal have to do 100% performance,anytime,anywhere, against anyone! If this fighter can not become 100%,it means he is not real deal "

Q:you looked at SF 2009 Fedor debut event.what did you feel?
"Excellent event.but event detail is small topic,all MMA event consist of FIGHTS"

Q:You always think of fight technique in cage,This is first show "AOKI in Cage"
"I am interested in it too.and,I am tired of this question,haha.MMA media asked me it in 3years.(LOL)"

Q:Ok,next question,about Gilbert Melendez(GM).In PRIDE,AOKIvsGM is matchmaked,but GM's injury make it cancel....You wanted to fight him?
"yes,GM is worldwide fighter,so I saw him from long ago.GM and Josh Thomson is tough guy of toughs many fans want to compare to UFC.but in MMA,all debate is nonsense without actual fight.like PRIDE tournament...

Q:you said"GM's fight make change our training".in concrete technique...
"OK....gentleman....mmm...maybe your magazine(GONG KAKUTOUGI)staff like skill talk.but,I am not interested in it.at least this fight!your magazine want to talk about =AOKI's hidden skill in cage=etc....but,I want to talk about other story....this is too dramatic story.this become my motivation...Japanese TOP come to USA.this is amazing...my technical is made by my long carrier.it is same as my old fights.so it dose not need to talk."
"The most important point is "IF AOKI LOSE,JAPAN IS THE END".this match is nonsense if you talk about technique. I taped GM out,that is all"

Q:oh,this dramatic story is made by himself?
"I lose,JAPAN end......it is certain.when I lose,JAPAN become colony of USA MMA　nation.some mania say that USA's MMA is the best!! but if japan MMA become colony,MMA magazine is the end too.I do not worship USA-MMA.so ,this is big war...like vs HIROTA Mizuto(his 2009 NYeve fight) "

Q:do you feel pressure?
"yes,this is high risk,high return.I get this"return".and I give DREAM it.I am son of DREAM.So in 2009 NYeve fight,I think,"OK,I KILL YOU"!! the relation DREAM staff and me is real.they know my mind in this fight,and japan LIGHT weightclass is global standard.this is same level of USA lightclass,and AOKI Shinya is icon of it.So this fight become Megamatch "

Q:3.31 UFN,GOMI"fireball"Takanori will debut in UFC(this interview was before UFN).UNO Caol also fight there.they are Japanese top contender too.but you are special,You think so?
"Yes,To say the truth I am far from them. They are not top of Japan.But I prove myself by Fight in Japan.and Champion of DREAM.they are relaxed than me.My risk is much bigger than them"

Q:If you lose the game.USA fighters mock Japanese MMA...?
"maybe.and it is natural.So I win!! no one can not deny DREAM and my fightlife"

Q:Does this big pressure prevent you from doing best move?
"If pressure destroy me,I am not called as fighter.I can bet all my life.it is warrior."

Q:I remember MIKU(Japan women topfighter,but she retire in April).she can not keep motivation.but you are...

"MIKU is serious to MMA.So she decide retirement.I understand her 50%...but other 50%,"She can retire When She want".I am not.I have responsibility to japan all MMA.So I can not stop fight.If motivation is lost,I make it by myself....This is not disrespect to MIKU."

Q:but She is not all time professional fighter.
"Yes,many many fighters do professional fight and other job....They have two ability.But I have only fight ability.only it!! so I never stop this business"

Q:some professional fighter says""Professional" means make audience excited"
"it is not right.because such fighters escape from"Win ore lose"They are comfortable and relaxed"

Q:what will be fighting business in future?
"I guess,fighter's life will become long.by development of sports science.conditioning....it means bigname keep their status in long time,so young power can not become star easily"

Q:it means downsizing of MMA market?
"Yes,but is is not bad,when gate become little,only high quality fighters lives there.of course I will be alive in such world....haha, but it is irony, joke.big Market make high level of this sport.So.I said=IF AOKI LOSE A GAME,JAPAN MMA IS THE END!!"

Q:Thanks I can know your motivation and risk.
"No problem,I am really serious for MMA.So I do not talk about technique now,this fight is not technique but instinct and heart!! One tough guy stand,other tough guy down.Everyone,look at this scene!!! "

Thanks

AOKI Shinya's tweet about 20010.3.31 UFN(FLORIAN vs GOMI)

http://twitter.com/waoki/

Oh,UNO lose......Gleison Tibau is real deal.it is apparent

宇野さん負けか。チバウの強さはやはり…か。

This fact(GOMI lose) is a knife. this knife.....They threatened me at knife-point .but I do not fear it... I stab them!!!

現実というナイフを喉元に突きつけられた。でも驚きはしない。刺してやる

at that time,SASAHARA DREAM president said http://twitter.com/sasaharakeiichi

By this result,AOKI vs Melendez means important....more and more

五味選手の敗北で、青木×メレンデスの意味合いがさらに重たくなってきました。

AOKI answerd

No,defferent,,,,it means defferent,and MIND is defferent!!

関係ない。端っから覚悟が違う。そして意味が違うRT @sasaharakeiichi: 五味選手の敗北で、青木×メレンデスの意

Today is end....For me everyday is realfight...

今日も１日終わる。毎日がガチンコだ

Uh,OK I confirm ,I am GOMIfan,it is certain, in my MMA carrier,alway role model is GOMI Tkanori...He is my idol

結局、俺は五味選手のファンなんだろな。教科書が五味選手と言われて育てられたから…今でも五味選手には思い入れが凄い

AKIYAMA Yoshihiro talks(in January magazine)

(he train in USA,this interveiw is in USA)

"last year,I fought only one match, it is not happy.but I could do good train ,got married and open my gym...great year"

Q:you now,choice "Extreme Couture"as train place,Why?
"there are many big guy and good fighters.I want to go there again"

Q:please tell me youre remark about Randy Gym.
"F.Griffin,he is speedy fighter and powerful,..great,And I tarain with Randy too,it is terrible if I am 100% serious,In japan,We often save power when faceold fighter...but I could not do it, against Randy!! He is role model for us....and We can do only training...In Japan,We can not do only training We have to other some business...."

Q:USA has many many race and ethnic,You are Korean-japanese,USA society is maybe no stress....
"Yes,Yes,USA people make fair and flat society "

Q:By the way,You met UFC Dana White and Rorenzo?
"sometimes,They are farank. and have hospitality"

Q;USA society is simple and frank...
"it is clear YES or NO,,,,but Japan society is delicate and correct it is good too,...Best society is 50:50 USA:JAPAN,hahahaha"

Q:oh,about Japan...How about NY eve "Dynamite!"?
"I also fight there,,,for example,pre-fight promotion video is excitin!!"

Q:but In pre-fight video,You are estimated as badguy fighter...
"Haha,Yes,I was heelfighter in pre-fight video,but it is not bad,,,now, I think, maybe I am now outsider of Japan MMA,so I can see Japan MMA with cool eyes"

Q:I think,Your fight in japan is "NOT competition(it means vs kickboxer,prowrestler,rookey etc,AKIYAMA often fight them)",but in UFC,You have to do real competition...like vs Aran Velcher...in this fight ,Your fighing spirit was great

"In japan,too I can do such fight,matchmake is not so....This is defference between USA matchmake and JPN matchmake "

Q:Can you say "NO" to matchmake offer
"yes,I can reject NO....UFC negotiation is YES or NO,simple,They offer Aran Velcher,"WHO?" ...but He defeat Dennis Kang,Anser time is hort,I said "YES"."

Q:Aran kicked you,You are injury,but JUDO takedown in 3R,Your Judo carrer helped you
"This take down was big for decidion...JUDO is Useful in UFC..many fighter do not know it..This is my weapon"

Q:And you now train high kick from shortrange
"this is pressure to opponent,I can try judo takedown,and high kick from same distance now"

Q:OK,please tell me 2010 plan...You are said vs Wandarei Silva,but it change to SILVA vs Vispin..what did you think?
"To say the truth,I thought UFC never do such a thing....I thounk"It is like japanese promotion!! my motivation is alling down,it was true""
(This interview is before UFC 110)

Q:"UFC too!!"....you think so.
"yes,and i said to Dana and Rorenzo directly...I was schoked,but They are schoked to my message,They confirm it,and apologozed me...and explain their plan..they asked me somethig to care you?....i hoped "I want to other fight ,I hope only to fight winner of Silva vs Vispin""

Q I heard that UFC offered you vs Demian Maia.....
"Yes"

Q:Did you want to fight him,AKIYAMA vs Grappler,it is goodmatch
"In this situation,I do not want..If I has no offer about Wandaei,I accept Demian,but I want to finish wandarei..Korean fan also hope it"

Q:You hope Silva win?
"yes,Japan fan and Korea fan hope it,Vispin is strong too,but he is popular in USA and UK"

Q:If you defeat Silva or Vispin,Next is titlematch?
"No,many monsters there...Demian,,Sonnenm...Sonen defeat OKAMI.it is incredible! there are such tough guys"

Q:youre body is little in among such mossters.you can fight in Welter?
"many many men said to me"how about welter?"..But weightcontrola and diet is enough!! too much..in my Judo carrer...middle weight class is no stress to me.this is 100% performance.......but,now,really many men adivise me about welterclass change"

Q:When do you fight to winner of Silva vs Vispin?
"April or may..."

Q:but,Winner also have interval,..April??
"mmmm....anyway,quickly!!"

Q:To say the truth,I am interested in you from vs Arran Velcher(It means"your fight in japan MMA was nonsense").I hope youre next good fight.good luck!!
""From vs Velcher?...too late!! hahaha

AOKI Shinya talk about UFC 109(1)......AOKI agree John Fitch,gurad position is dead(about Nate vs Sonnen)

AOKI Shinya talk about UFC109....I will trenslate this column

I willpick up some UFC109 fights and tell you my opinion!!

1st,I will say about Nate vs Sonnen....
Sonnen is 33years old,24-10-1 record,This record is not special,but it is made by very tough fights.Nate is known as Pancrase fighter,and Knocked Demian Mia out.

Game is decided by Sonnen7s wrestling and pound,When Opponent do guard position,He make him lay again,and his elbow and pound began from it,this is severe,lock opponent,elbow!! this "LOCK AND ELBOW"is good,I learns from him this technic is difficult to notice,but I love it.

Sonnen controled Nate's leg joint(Ko-kansetsu),before he do pound,this is important point...Sonen become grinder, pound and pound,.,..and half position,back!!His back control skill is master class.And He trikes Twister in 2nd round,it is cool!!

this fight was Sonnen's oneside game.

I heard John Fitch said "The closed guard is dead in MMA（FightersOnly）" oh,yes,Yes,i agree!absolutely Yes!!

long time Closed guard means present my lose by Decision to opponent.If I am closed position,I have to recover quickly.
pressure of sweep & submission.....but it is prolog of stand.how can I stand again from guard? it is united technic of submission,sweep,and stand.....We need groud technic to stand again.Do you know it?..........Sorry I can not explain it perfectly,,,it....I want to say"MMA IS MMA."MMA is not "striking + Ground"...so ,it is called as MMA!!

original

まずはチュール・ソネン対ネイサン・マーコート。

ソネン選手は1977年生まれの32歳。今年33歳になる学年だ。キャリアも2002年デビューで24勝10敗1分の成績。レコードがメチャクチャいいわけではないけれど、強豪との試合が多く凌ぎを削ってきたのが戦績からもわかる。

マーコートはパンクラスで試合をしていたから日本のファンにも知られているんじゃないかな。そして前回、ダミアンをKOしたのが印象に残っていると思うす。

試合のほうはソネンのレスリングとパウンドが冴える。技術的にはクローズガードからの相手をしっかりと寝かせてのパウンドとヒジが素晴らしい。抑えてヒジ！ 抑えた手でヒジの組み合わせは勉強になる！ そしてあのわかりにくい技術が大好きなんだよね。

グランドで打撃を打つときには相手の股関節を殺しているのが絶妙だよなあ。削って削って相手が嫌がったところをハーフ、バック!!そしてバックコントロールの技術も高いから相手は嫌だろうなあ。2ラウンドにシングルバックからツイスターを狙ったとこもしびれましたよん。

そんなこんなでソネンが圧倒!!

ジョン・フィッチがクローズガードの時代は終わったというようなコメントを出していたみたいだけども激しく同意。クローズガードを続けるなんて相手に判定勝ちをプレゼントするだけだし、クローズになったら立つ動作＆下からのスイープ＆サブミッションのプレッシャーですぐリカバーしなくちゃダメだ。下になって立つ技術は関節技やスイープの技術も必要だし、立つ技術も必要。だから「倒されても立てばいいんでしょ」って問題でもないから寝技の強さも重要なわけなんだけどもね。

自分で書いててうまく説明できてないのはわかってるんだけども、謎かけ的に言えばMMAをMMAとして捉えるというか、寝技と打撃ってわけるもんじゃないんだよね。だからこそMMA!!
