Hey Enson,



Welcome.. I just wanted to say that I have seen thousands of fighters come and go over the years. But when I think of honor, bushido and fighting spirit, you are at the very top of the list. It's an honor to see you checking out our humble little community here. Just wanted to let you know, I collect a lot of MMA books, and Live as a Man, Die as a Man, Become a Man might be the best one ever written by a fighter. I could read/listen to your stories all day man. You ever consider writing another book one day down the line?



Just curious, do you think there can ever be a boom in Japanese MMA again? Would you say the people got hyped up over the UFC in Japan shows the way they used to over PRIDE? Or is there no comparison?



It just feels very weird and empty to not have huge stadium events in Japan with the world's best fighters... I miss the days of New Year's Eve when you would have 3 or 4 shows all competing on one night. Do yu think those days are over, like MMA was seen as only a fad in Japan? Or does it only need the right push to come back?



Sorry for the long message haha. Hope all is well.



Respect
