Following a decorated career on the mats, the Japanese icon sought after new challenges and decided to take his talents to the mixed martial arts stage instead. Working with the legendary Greg Jackson, “Sexy Yama” took the mixed martial arts world by storm, competing in various organizations all around the world before arriving at ONE Championship.
