Regardless of whatever bromance you have with Georges St. Pierre, my current bromance with Masakazu Imanari is greater. Everything that could ever be said about Imanari was published in our Top Ten Fighters that NEED to be in EA Sports MMA list so you should direct your cursor to the link and use your index finger to click it. When I was in the car with Shinya Aoki in Singapore, I made it abundantly clear that I have a strong fascination with Masakazu Imanari. Shinya and his mom laughed at me. Imanari goes by ‘Ashikan Judan’ which roughly translates to ‘The Master of Leglocks’ and if you’ve seen any of Imanari’s highlight videos, then that moniker is 100% accurate. In a few days, he will compete in DREAM’s Bantamweight tournament and will most likely show the world how cool he truly is. Before it goes down, check out The Grappling Dummy‘s candid interview with Imanari. Don’t worry, it’s translated in English for all you Japanese noobs out there.
