Satoshi Ishii submitted Sean McCorkle

Judo gold medalist(at the Beijin Olympics)Satoshi Ishii beat UFC fighter Sean McCorkle at 02:41 in round 1 at the IGF MMA match. Jeff Monson was going to fight Ishii but pulled out due to a back injury.

The Japanese website only says "Ishii won via armlock," and I assume he submitted McCorkle via "udegarami" armlock(its reverse variation is known as "kimura").Still waiting for the details.

I don’t even consider IGF a legit MMA organization….they mix pro-wrestling with MMA matches. Who knows if those fight held in “MMA rules” are an actual MMA matches or not…

I know, but Rolles Gracie also fought and beat Yusuke Kawaguchi at the IGF event last year. They seem to be catering to both prowrassling and MMA fans by making the distinctions clear.

Fawkin shitty. Phone Post

Way to go, Satoshi! Guy is on a winning streak ever since Fedor lol

thanks but why would you assume the armlock was an ude-garami?

FatBuddha - thanks but why would you assume the armlock was an ude-garami?

That is his only submission I have seen so far in his MMA matches. Perhaps he used the reverse udegarami(better known as kimura). I'm just guessing. Sorry if I'm wrong.

Chareth Cutestory - Impressive. McCorkle's got to have 100lbs over Ishii.

Ishii is a pretty big dude, mid sized HW.

Good. McCorkle needs to learn respect. Phone Post

the overwhelming majority of us still love ya pal.



props for steppin up & keep livin your dream.

Stepped up, respect.

A few weeks ago I spent 16 hours traveling from the east coast to Narita. That was 16 hours ON 2 airplanes, not counting the layover. It took a lot out of me and the jetlag was hard. Amazing somebody could fight right after doing that especially against a high level guy. Props to Sean for stepping up!
