It's the leech

Don't care about weight

 

[Readybodisready]

Okami

He fought the best without a script in his favor. Without a mob bribing his opponents to lay down for him.

 

[Gnomecuddler]

Fedor

 

[Hardkore]

If you're half black and whites you're still considered black, if you're half Asian/white you dont get considered as Asian?

 

[Durruti]

Okami

Well Nakamura or Kim certainly didnt get such mob for them. Neither did Misaki and if you are suggesting Saku's legacy is a fraud I could see some suspision about it but certainly doenst change the fact that Saku was one of the most admired, respected and feared man by the pro fighters community around the world

 

[Beer tastes awful]

Lol

Prime Fujita would absolutely wreck everyone on your list

 

[CerebralKnievel]

Mr. Miyagi belongs on this list. Dude fought only at open weight and smoked everyone, for honor.

 

[Adjutant]

Lyoto Machida

 

[Maripucci]

Unless you’re talking about sumo can you say Asian and big in the same sentence?

 

[Hardkore]

You bring dishonah to famiry being half white

I have noticed the best looking mixed kids are Asian and white imo

 

[Durruti]

Lol

Prime Fujita would absolutely wreck everyone on your list

By having 30-40 lbs advantage. Still you could argue Fujita was as good in his weightclass as the ones I listed in theirs, but I dont think so personally

Pat Morita spoke perfect English with an American accent

Dont forget Teh Platinum One

Depends on your definition of 'Asian'.

Robbie Lawler, Bendo, BJ & Machida if we're talking Asian heritage.

In terms of guys born in Asia, Sakuraba - and then honourable mentions for Misaki and Gono are who come to mind off the top of my head.
