Roop is no joke, Hioki will have to be tough to beat him

why is it that you asians always want us to support your fighters? You need to contribute more towards the PPV revenue if you want your fighters to improve , that is , make MMA profitable for asian fighters. Support them with money so that they have something to prove. Asian fighters are inadequate in
- strength
- stamina
- and the incentive to be champion due to insufficient support from the asian community. don't expect us to support your fighters.

that post was the best example of a non-sequitur ever
"Who are the magical JMMA powerhouses who haven't already came and lost in the US? Please, do enlighten me."
Not like they havent lost at all mostly but Anderson, Shogun, Rampage, Dan.
Also, while the general point of your post is correct, like everyone else on the UG, you're either cherry picking or stretching to make the point.
Melendez spent significant amounts in JMMA and Ishida beat Melendez once and Kawajiri arguably did as well.
Kid was already losing in Japan prior to coming over. Kang got finished twice in the UFC just as he did in Japan against Akiyama and Moussasi.
Uno did not have a great K1 run. He lost 4 times in K1 and once in Dream before he came back and went 0-2-1 not 0-3-1.
Im not delusional either. I thought the idea of Hioki being the guy to beat Aldo was far fetched too. But i dont think all your examples above are entirely fair.
Santiago def a bust though. Just saying he wasnt unbeatable even against lesser comp.
And agree that though Omi should have beat Elkins, it should not have been that close.
Gomi not only was not in his prime before coming over he looked like SHIT before coming over.
Roop got robbed and talk about over rated
Well, let's just say that I'm not excited anymore.

He did not look good in victory 
Winston Wolf - Roop got robbed and talk about over rated
Which rounds were Roop's without question?
And talk about overated?
Hioki is no diff than any other fighter on the UG, both overated and underated at the same time.
Some thought Hioki will come in a beat Aldo. Some thought he would get killed by Roop.
Hioki didnt impress me in the least..i thought he lost last night but his skillset is basically the same as everyone elses..

Personally i though roop had the third round, and the first was pretty damn close. It could have went either way, solid debut by hioki but not as great as most expected.
ok Roop wasnt robbed But I had him winning first and 3rd Granted the fight was very close But some of you were hyping Hioki pretty big

Asian fighters just aren't that good. Except pacquiao, but PAC is more Mexican than Asian to be honest.
Anderson isnt black....
Winston Wolf - ok Roop wasnt robbed
Thank you. Everyone uses terms like "robbed" and "LNP" far too liberally.
Winston Wolf - But some of you were hyping Hioki pretty big
True. Some people also said Hioki would get destroyed by Roop as well.
jimbobyeaboy - I m not impress by yar parformance. <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
Pho sho.
I think Hioki would be the first person to say it, in fact, he has been saying it.

Japan actually also has more boxing champs than the Philipines. Japan also still owns judo and is also decent in wrestling. You may have heard of Masato as well.
Did you know that Japan is more African than Mexican as well?
Have to say I was less than impressed with him. But he did win and first time in the UFC is always hard so will wait for a few more fights before I judge him
