Santoshi Ishii was a guest on Croatian MMA podcast, in very interesting 2.5 hour interview he said:
- Now he holds Croatian passport, and as Japan doesn't allowed dual citizenship, he drops off his Japan passport and now declare himself a Croat. He also brought a grave in Zagreb he wants to be buried in Croatia. Lol
- He was abused as judo student in Japan, in one period he tried to committed suicide with pills.
- After he switched to MMA his family was receiving death threats on daily basis
- Next fight in SBC (Serbian Battle Champ.) in February and in HEAT in March. He is also in talks with KSW and he have a verbal agreement with PFL.
Podcast is split in two parts and it is mostly in English.
