Ishii training – Photo via Black House MMA Facebook page
Former Olympian Judo Gold medalist, and current mixed martial artist, Satoshi Ishii (4-2-1) is currently making the rounds through various training camps in his effort to improve himself as a fighter.
Most recently, the Japanese Judoka paid a visit to the Team Blackhouse gym training with the likes of former UFC champ Lyoto Machida and Rafael dos Anjos.
The gym released a series of photos of Ishii as he prepares for an upcoming light heavyweight bout versus Thierry Sokoudjou on March 31, 2012 at an Amazon Forest Combat 2 event in Manaus, Brazil.
Ishii will enter the bout on a loss after suffering a first round knockout defeat at the hands of Fedor Emelianenko last New Years Eve in Japan.
