Enson Inoue Part IV

[TorontoTO]

I little fat but otherwise great. Plan to get back in shape this year

Still training Sudario? No shame losing to Tafa, I still have great hope that he becomes the next big Japanese HW.

Im a huge fan, and all I want to say is I watched every interview, every fight that was possible at the time.
You are an inspiration to me in so many ways, and the way you faced Igor was one of the craziest, manly things I have ever seen in person.

When you told Joe Rogan that when you seen Igor KO Bueno, and that was the moment you knew you wanted to fight him was true Samurai shit sir.

You are well loved in my family, and you'll always remain that way.
I hold you in the highest regard.

I'll stop babbling now, and Im subscribed to your YouTube podcast, its awesome.

(Bows in respect)

Absolutely sir, Enson a real one.
Been watching him since 2002-2003 I believe.
Genuinely stoked I got to talk to him honestly...shaking his hand would complete the cycle lol.

Local news yesterday pointed out a Long Game podcast by Mark Carpenter with interview with Egan Inoue. Very interesting. Some background stories on the BJJ, racquetball, JMMA, final MMA match, some sort of magnetic field machine from Japan, diet, exercise, zen, going both lefty & righty and the brain.

Somehow, I never realized Enson wrote that book, but I ordered a copy before I even made this post. He's got at least one other, which I will likely purchase in time.

Enson treads places many men would fear to go. I admire the hell out of him, and he's by far my favorite fighter of all time. I'd never really considered to check whether or not he'd written anything, but I am excited to read that book. Thank you for making me aware.

Also, RIP @StonedLemur, the fool

Respect to Enson Inoue, i'm always glad watching the Rizin PPVs and seeing you around in the crowd.

Given that it's been a few years, what's your current assessment on Rizin and the future of JMMA? Seems like now they have a lot of homegrown talent with legitimate skills.

The name Hody rang such a bell in my ear.. Had to go down in my parents basement, our homegym and yeah I think I got his from him like 25 years ago?
