It appears the SAS wiki is no more and I sadly can't find the Jon Fitch page in google cache or archive.org.

Please do not speak poorly of the Tim Sylvia. The fact that the dude even made it as far in MMA as he did is a testament to his pathological levels of stubbornness.

Fedor's biggest win was Big Nog, who became UFC champ as soon as he entered the UFC.

Jon Fitch looked good in the Hallman fight but I'm still disappointed he wasn't able to get the finish even at a heavier catchweight against a man with a lot of miles on him.

Andrei Arlovski looked bad in WSOF and still got a UFC contract and what do you know his UFC return fight was trash too. All I'm saying is bring back Fitch.

Arlovski's WSOF run was better than Fitch's. Fitch looked like complete garbage in his second fight and lost his first in a minute. Andrei's only loss was to the P4P heaviest man on the planet.

Why hasn't Aoki ever made his was over to the UFC to get wrestled?

Didn't he do an interview once where it was heavily implied that the Yakuza wouldn't allow it or something?

Anyways it would've been funny to see him get wrestled by someone lovely like Clay Guida in 2010.

Is Aoki's money still managed by his parents? I like to think of him as a man child whose doled out an allowance to break peoples limbs.

The short, vaguely racist answer is the Aoki is in pretty deep with the most silly insular Japanese parts of MMA.

the short answer is he'd be there if he didn't have a kid and the long answer is one fc give him really good money and opportunities outside the ring training people in a gym made entirely out of solid gold. competition is kind of secondary to that

also the ability to hang out in singapore and constantly try to molest and gently caress people other than his wife is probably a big draw for him. he's a huge creep

aoki constantly and aggressively pestered and got handsy with female journalists, photographers, translators, anybody sort of vaguely involved in the fight business or press events. some people thought he'd stop once they found out he had a kid but he just kept on rolling

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
I got around to watching the ONE FC card from last weekend, and let me say that Cheng vs. Hassan was the most trashweight fight I've ever seen. It now fills me with joy that we may see a former Euroleague basketball player face a former CFL player for the One FC heavyweight title.

Did he not fight in Strike force, or maybe EliteXC in the US? Got squashed by Melendez, I remember that. But so do most fighters.

He has basically said that foreigners have more sweat, so he needs pants to grapple with them.

I guess he could do that thing where someone wears ankle wraps, knee sleeves and compression shorts to simulate grapple-pants

Imanari on the other hand can't get through customs due to being insane. I imagine his interviews with customs involve him going berserk when he finds out they have legs.
