| Yeah read about this on BE this morning. - Quote :
- Koichiro Matsumoto blogged about meeting Satoshi Ishii yesterday. They seem to get along very well.
Anyway, he wrote that it looks like Ishii’s next fight will be on a Strikeforce event in February. Strikeforce have a big event on the 12th and a Challengers event on the 18th so I’m guessing it’s the Challengers event. Matsumoto also wrote that it seems like the fight will be fought at 93kg and under (Light Heavyweight). | |

| He should fight OSP. Ishii is a good prospect. He was close to signing with the UFC and reportedly was going to fight for the title in his first fight, but eventually the UFC turned it down because unless you're Lesnar, that shit won't fly here. | |

| Well he was talking with the UFC, but the idea he was going to fight for the Title in his first fight is ludicrous. He's a good prospect with obvious talent, but gonna be honest I don't think he ever sniffs the top 10 at HW. | |

He is only 24, so he has plenty of time to develope. Not willing to say "never snifft the top 10 at HW", but considering he will probably be a LHW that could be an accurate statement lol | |

| I'll say both then, but considering SF's LHW depth is weak, and people love overelevating their LHWs, it's possible he gets in the LHW top 10. | |

| Ishii to the sf lhw div is a good fit. The div could use the depth, and he can't hang with the big heavies.
He's been pretty dull so far, but he's 24, Olympic gold medalist, great training partners etc, so their is def potential. | |
