While Japanese MMA is on hold following the devastating earthquake, Japan’s DREAM promotion produces a video in support of three of their fighters who are coming to California to compete at Strikeforce: Diaz vs Daley. Tatsuya Kawajiri, Shinya Aoki and Hiroyuki Takaya will all be fighting this Saturday on Showtime:
Tatsuya “Crusher” Kawajiri – “I think martial arts is about beating up each other. (Fighting on April 9th) is not about encouraging people with my fight. I want to hang in there with everybody out there. Re-start point for Japan. If I win, it should become so.”
Shinya “Tobikan Judan” Aoki – “This situation motivates me. I’m going to go up the ladder with this situation.”
