Is it just me, or do the Japanese always claim to be the best and unbeatable at everything?

That said, give the man his chance! He's got the right mindset, I want to see him kick some ass man!

It's not just the Japanese...

Draven, are you sure his magic pants aren't allowed in the UFC?

Unlike soccer hooliganism, say.

He walks around 168 last i checked, which is about what BJ does when he isn't bulking up for WW.

His walking around weight is higher than that. He did comment that he didn't have to cut to get to 170 for the GSP fight, but that was at the end of camp. In other fights it's been news that he was below 170 6 weeks or more out.

Anyways, I think we can all agree that we want to findout.

Aoki vs Nate Diaz would be a great UFC debut fight.

Yes. I think "Wrestlers row" could be a problem for him in that they can stuff him or possibly pass guard (sherk and maynard in particular), but Nate would be a great showcase for both of them.

Or Melving Guillard for lulz.
