Earlier this year, DREAM 14 displayed some controversial imagery including the bombing of Pearl Harbor in conjunction with a series of Bjork + Imperial March hybrid musical sequences in elaborate pre-fight medleys that either left you scratching your head or readying your firearms in preparation for war. It’s obvious that Japan isn’t taking this whole “American Colony” status well following Aoki’s loss to Gilbert Melendez. Albeit somewhat unsettling, I thought it was the most rawesome way to kickoff a night of MMA ever conceived; but today, I realized that it was really just foreshadowing Japan’s deeper desires of reigniting an actual global takeover. It all starts with the FEG partnering with a Shanghai-based investment bank PUJI Capital.

Details are still coming in, but from what we know, PUJI be in charge of fundraising and leading a global expansion that should inflate DREAM & K-1 to a level that eclipses the UFC in the world market (at least that’s the goal).

Here’s a chart that should help illustrate the FEG’s expansion plans:

If that makes no sense to you, Here is a chart I made that’s a little simpler to understand at what FEG is hoping to accomplish:

And if that’s not enough, here’s FEG President Sadaharu Tanikawa’s official declaration of war against the UFC:

"When K-1 and PRIDE were competing against each other, 80% of the martial arts market was in Japan. It is now the opposite and Japan is only 20%. We were worried that Japan would be left behind if we let this continue, it is unacceptable. We needed to change our business model."

"This is a declaration of war against the WWE and UFC. From Asia, we will take the world."

"We've let Dana White get a lead on us. Before (Shinya) Aoki beats (Gilbert) Melendez, we must win as promoters."

The changes get underway in early 2011 and FEG hopes to raise about twenty billion Yen (the equivalent of 230 million USD) in the arranged partnership. Alongside all that financial stuff, following DREAM 15, Aoki announced he’ll be fighting Gilbert Melendez again in an attempt to take back control of America’s new favorite colony, and if he fails, so does this global expansion. If you think about it, the fate of Japan’s imperial goals all rest in the hands of the Baka Survivor (which actually means ‘Stupid’ survivor in English). Japan’s only hope will consist of creating a collaborative hypnotic video staring Tony Robbins and Genki Sudo where everyone chants “We are all one” and “YES!” simultaneously as we willingly accept the global takeover.

It seems Aoki/Melendez is not happening; at least not at DREAM 16. Regardless, I think it's a mistake to put the fate of JMMA on any one fighter's shoulders (again), especially Aoki (who everyone new to JMMA automatically hates). IMO FEG + PUJU will make headway so long as good fights keep happening.

I don't see why Melendez would want to fight Aoki again right now. His victory was as decisive and one sided as could be. A 5 round drubbing.

War on the UFC and WWE? Interesting that they put the WWE in there, considering most MMA promotions don't consider them competition.

Sadaharu Tanikawa should not be allowed to say things to the press while he is on drugs and/drunk because he just sounds silly.

They exclude South America when it's where some of the most dominant fighters in MMA come out of. Classic.

Or what happens is Genki makes his long awaited, Triumpheted return to the ring an cage, taking out any and all comers, bringing redemption back, as well as gaining their "Colony" back...its the ONLY way Japanese MMA makes a big comeback...it all lies in Genki Sudo's hands...

all BS aside FEG could do this with k-1 but definitely not mma... if feg could get some k-1 events over here with some american fighters and american audiences can see how exciting k-1 really is (I think it has the highest KO ratio of any combat sport) then theres a chance

Clearly the only way for the USA to counter act this is for Vince McMahon and Dana White to team up. WOW imagine that press conference.
