This topic has been beaten to death over the years. We all know what Aoki is and what Aoki is not. Let's just enjoy one of the top grapplers do his thing while we have the chance?

Boku is being criminally underrated in this thread

I'd say people are being realistic.

bad matchup for Boku. Boku has gotten some power these days but hes still a technical rangy type striker.
and hes small for a LW and never had the best TDD. Aoki does lose in the most outrageous ways so you never know,but Aoki will probably win with another neck crank or something.
I want to see Aoki fight Nam Yui Chul just to see how he does against a powerful wrestler with KO power that upper echelon but not elite like eddie or gilbert.
so we can figure out whether Eddie and Gilbert were that good or Aoki is just weak against that "genre" of fighter

Maybe he doesn't want to fight in the UFC. Why do you care so much?

You are asking a fan why he would want a fighter to come to the UFC?
Gee I dont know, cant really think of any reason why he would want a good fighter to come to the US and fight in the UFC or Bellator.

I think Aoki taps Boku pretty handily. Boku is far from a worldbeater, but this is far better than Aoki fighting the David Gardener's of the world too. I'd like to see Aoki fight in Bellator. He'd add credibility to that division and would be getting tough fights.
Anyone thinking he losses to so-called "Tiger" Sarnavskiy, go off yourselves. I've seen nothing from that hype job that makes me think he makes it to the final bell with Aoki.

No one has, not in the last 4 or 5 years or so. He hasn't been relevant to LW for a while. One troll account whose gimmick is JMMA doesn't count.

I think this fight would go like the first Akira Kikuchi fight; for Aoki.

Are you really asking a fan why they would want to see a talented fighter compete in the #1 MMA organization in the world?
Rhetorical or not, it's a dumbass thing to ask.
Can't get too excited over this fight. As SBC stated, Aoki likely taps him without much trouble.
