When Fedor Emelianenko rocked Satoshi Ishii and sent him to the hospital, the initial worry was about a broken nose. In the post-fight chatter, the blood was discussed as a factor in changing Ishii’s psychology during the fight. For some fighters, seeing their own blood can spook them. What Satoshi Ishii didn’t know when he got rattled by Fedor is that it may have very well been his last fight ever.

Putting the cherry on top of the proverbial sundae, Japanese weekly publication Cyzo (which has been on a very good run this month for fight business stories) reports that doctors have told Ishii that he suffered a cerebral edema from the NYE beating. As a result, he was warned that any further blows to the head would cause some serious damage. As Cyzo put it, Ishii is facing a retirement crisis. There had been some discussion that he would face Ricardo Arona in late March in Brazil but that fight didn’t look to be in the cards. After this latest development, the MMA prospects for Ishii look to be bleak as well.

Horrible news!

holy shit... Phone Post

Well now the haters can quit calling this a work.

Poor ishii... Phone Post

Mix6APlix - Brain swelling I think.<br>Sucks for Iishi. <img src="/images/phone/droid.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>


That's what I gather from the wiki.. doesn't sound good. There are different types but this is likely what Ishii is facing..


From Wikipedia:

Cereberal Edema

Vasogenic

Due to a breakdown of tight endothelial junctions which make up the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This allows normally excluded intravascular proteins and fluid to penetrate into cerebral parenchymal extracellular space. Once plasma constituents cross the BBB, the edema spreads; this may be quite fast and widespread. As water enters white matter it moves extracellularly along fiber tracts and can also affect the gray matter. This type of edema is seen in response to trauma, tumors, focal inflammation, late stages of cerebral ischemia and hypertensive encephalopathy.

Some of the mechanisms contributing to BBB dysfunction are: physical disruption by arterial hypertension or trauma, tumor-facilitated release of vasoactive and endothelial destructive compounds (e.g. arachidonic acid, excitatory neurotransmitters, eicosanoids, bradykinin, histamine, and free radicals). Some of the special subcategories of vasogenic edema include:

Hydrostatic cerebral edema

This form of cerebral edema is seen in acute, malignant hypertension. It is thought to result from direct transmission of pressure to cerebral capillary with transudation of fluid into the ECF (extracellular fluid) from the capillaries.



My breakdown for dumbasses like myself: Extra fluid is getting into the brain because of a problem with the Brain-Blood Barrier.

 Ugh, thats terrible.



Always sucks to hear about these injuries/medical issues, especially when they are are as serious as this.



Best of luck to Ishii in his future endeavors. Never really had the chance to see him "grow" as an MMArtist, but hopefully he can keep himself involved in the sport someho (behind the scenes, as a trainer, etc) 

Only reason they said this is that iishi sold the fix too hard and they need to make it look legit by saying that his injury very critical. Phone Post

But if true that's terrible Phone Post

Looks like Ishii isn't the only one with brain damage. Phone Post

Anyone who thought it was a work in the first place is an absolute special case.

Anyway, horrible news, I hope he makes a full recovery.
