Top 10 lightweight Tatsuya Kawajiri, who has been accustomed to fighting inside a ring the past 11 years in Japan, hasn’t made adjustments for his first-ever fight inside a cage.
As he heads into his title shot this Saturday against Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez in San Diego, Kawajiri apparently doesn’t think the fighting surface will be a major factor in the fight.
“He’s been training as usual and no specific training geared towards a fight in a cage,” Kawajiri’s translator Ryo Ishibashi said on a recent Strikeforce conference call.
