Media Interesting Satoshi Ishii interview (English)

[Katsumi Yamada]

He was on this podcast in Croatia (his new home). The interview was conducted in English. Talks about how he got his start in judo, why he was unpopular in Japan, fighting his hero's, why he changed to be a Croatian citizen, etc.



I'm only 20 mins into it, best quote so far "Antoni inoki's slaps don't hurt, they're more like when a man spanks a woman's ass".

Is he not fighting anymore?

He is kinda of fighting part time and just bumming around the world, not taking society or his parent's wishes or his promise to the emperor or the judo association society people seriously, abandoning his son Gegard and just dicking around in general

Haha his son's name is Musashi (Mousasi). Wtf is up with him being locked up in a cage in Holland

He's had a weird career for sure. his management messed up early making him fight only vets (kinda like Erson?) but he's not a bad fighter and is actually 18-8-1.

 

[Buffmeister]

Didn't the UFC wanted him badly when he started out?
