During his fight last night in Japan, Shinya Aoki may have cemented his reputation as the most vicious fighter in mixed martial arts. A jiu-jitsu phenom, who looks more like a nerdy schoolboy than a trained killer, developed a real nasty streak in the second half of 2009. After his last few wins, Aoki made it a point to rant about a lack of respect from the United States and the UFC.
Last night, he went beyond talking trash during and after a win over Mizuto Hirota. You think Brock Lesnar’s behavior at UFC 100 was crazy? Aoki blew away the UFC heavyweight champ. The only thing missing was smashing Hirota with a steel chair.
Watch the video (2:19 mark) but only if your stomach is strong.
Aoki, one of the best submission fighters in the world, got Hirota twisted up with his arm behind his back. Hiroto wouldn’t submit via tap and Aoki broke his arm or dislocated his shoulder…
