Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima is not the only Japanese K-1 fighter to move into the world of professional wrestling while K-1 is on a bit of a break, as K-1 Heavyweight Champion Kyotaro has made his way into professional wrestling as well. Need proof? Here he is sporting a green mohawk hitting a flying missile dropkick. This content is protected I love that in Japan a k-1 or mma fighter can go into pro wrestling and a pro wrestler can go into mma and there is no stigma attached. In Japan all three disciplines are just different branches of the same tree which is combat sports.
