I lived there when K-1 was getting really big, when Andy Hug (R.I.P.) and Ernesto Hoost and Peter Aerts ruled the scene.

I don't think the term MMA was used back then.

Great topic...thank you for the education. I hope we have some other fans here.
Man were those the days in K-1, I wish I was around to watch them, but now the heavyweight division is getting stale, but the K-1 max for lighter guys is real exciting.

That is cool you were there when all of these events went on.

Hopefully the MMA scen in Japan gets better
