Takanori. didn't think i'd like an oriental fighter untill sherdog put me onto this guy. Had no idea about him and ive been somewhat keeping up with MMA since 2009.

Rugs are oriental. Takanori is Asian.

To be fair, TS said new fans, not casuals. I would hope new fans would be catching up on the relatively short history of modern MMA and know who the legends were.

New fans can't be casuals?

I highly doubt any new fans (especially of the UFC) are looking up PRIDE events lol

When you come in a thread that's obviously not discussing legends of the sport, don't act like we're all stupid for not mentioning Fedor. Look at the names TS listed and tell me he isn't looking for underrated guys who maybe aren't legends.

 

[Elysianwing]

Kikuchi, Shaolin, Ricco, Horn, Din, (at this point) Tyson Griffin, Oleg, (and waaaay too many others, really)

I was hoping that anyone on a UFC forum would have stumbled across names like Fedor, Sakuraba, Royce and Bas pretty quickly.
