Oh, and the fight is in Japan, ring, magic pant, and sitting ringside are his boyz Imanari, Zoro along with Sakuraba within hearing distance?
Aoki takes him down and puts Benzo to sleep Aint NO one beating a motivated, in shape, confident, focused Aoki
:good and that would apply for Europe let alone Japan You mean to try to tell Aoki to release his neck from his arm? I guess its possible
Could the odds possibly be more stacked in favour of Aoki? If they could you would have included that too :hey But alas he still loses in embarrassing fashion. The shame. The shame :yep
Well, not entirely true. Everyone knows his trick, and he has still managed to pull it off against some high level competition.
I haven't seen Henderson in a ring. I would predict him to beat Aoki the same way Melendez did in a cage, but putting the fight in a ring could make it different. I would still take Henderson by decision, but it wouldn't be the same beat down Melendez put on Aoki. I think taking place in a ring would make the fight slightly less entertaining, and give Aoki a better chance at pulling of a submission in the center of the ring.
