From amateur female MMA at the 350 seat Shin-Kiba 1st Ring to a packed Saitama Super Arena for Dynamite!!, I’ve had the pleasure of shooting nearly every event in Tokyo and every major event in Asia since I joined the FanHouse family in April 2010.
It was an unforgettable year to be ringside in Asia: Alistair Overeem snotted on me at the K-1 Finals, two ears came off, I got hit with a tooth, kicked in the face, “Mach” told me I’m fat, “Kyoken” Takeuchi punched me and I punched him back. I loved every single second of it and below, I recall some my favorite photos of 2010

As we finally recover from our sleep-deprived states following Sengoku: Soul of Fight and Dynamite!!, lets take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights (and lowlights) from the country that was once considered the Mecca of mixed martial arts.

Two mixed martial artists had very different results when they took on kickboxers at the New Year’s Eve Dynamite!! event in Japan, as Gegard Mousasi put on a striking clinic in beating K-1 heavyweight champion Kyotaro, while Shinya Aoki was knocked out by Yuichiro Nagashima.
Mousasi is first and foremost an MMA fighter, but he showed once again that he has K-1-level striking. Mousasi was nothing short of sensational in beating Kyotaro, knocking down the Japanese champ in the second round with a beautiful combination of punches. It was the second time Mousasi has beaten an experienced K-1 veteran under K-1 rules on a New Year’s Eve card in Japan; Mousasi also beat the Japanese kickboxer Musashi two years ago.
