Thanks for posting. I haven't seen him fight and haven't followed his career, but he seems to have great flexibility.

Yea, thanks for this post. I really like Aoki, and I've only seen a handful of his fights. Great stuff, he's crazy, intelligent and agressive fighter. Shame Aoki vs. Penn will never happen. How does the UFC claim to be better than boxing in that regard?

Best BJJ in the game.

Man I hope Aoki beats Gilbert Melendez's ass this saturday. I have a feeling he's getting knocked out though.

Nate's only a brown belt. Of course that's under Cesar Gracie, so yea, he's awesome. I'll be a Diaz Bros. fan for life, I'd love to see Nate vs. Aoki @ lightweight, but Aoki's JJ is better overall than both Nick & Nate.

But Nick Diaz is one of my favorite fighters. If anyone watched his last fight agains Zarmokis, turn the volume off (Worst. Announcers. Ever. they ruin the fight). Nick vs. Gomi one of my favorite fights of all time, beauty is that gogoplata, or omoplata, whichever it is. [Lol, I appreciate and love BJJ, but obviously I don't know too much]

People saying that havent seen Aoki's fights. I've got a link for a torrent of the DREAM events (1-12) if your interested.

You put me in a hard spot Kaps. You know I got love for Nick.
