LONDON – “I am Sexyama.”
Those are the exact words, in English, Japanese superstar Yoshihiro
Akiyama used to open his address to the media at
Thursday’s pre-UFC 120 press conference in
London.
While that audacious tag once seemed shockingly accurate when describing
the bronzed judoka with the impressive 11-fight win streak, he’s earned just a split-decision win in two trips
to the cage. Is that sexy enough to stick around in the UFC should he
falter against UFC 120 opponent Michael Bisping?
