Michihiro Omigawa has never been one to keep his thoughts to himself.
As he rose to relevance in Sengoku’s 2009 Featherweight GP he would shout “Kusottare!” any time he was given a microphone, essentially telling everyone who doubts him to “f**k off!” Since he reinvented himself for the GP, he has “claimed the necks of” fellow top 10 featherweights Marlon Sandro and Hatsu Hioki and most recently took a submission win over former WEC Champion Cole Escovedo. Afterwards, Omigawa called his DREAM.16 victory “a perfect fight” and declared himself the “center of the featherweight world.”
Now, unhappy with the way he is being treated in Japan, Omigawa is setting his sights on the WEC and Jose Aldo.
“For me, the WEC is the top promotion in the States so I’m seriously considering fighting there. I’m very determined and willing to fight in the WEC at some point, and I was exchanging emails with them, but we still haven’t met in person. It’s not an official offer yet, but we are in talks. Jose Aldo is a well-rounded fighter, and an interesting opponent for me, but technique-wise I am better and I’d like to prove that.”
