Makoto Aoki, who is known as a Japanese jiu-jitsu geek, is also 38 years old, but his competitive state is not inferior to his peak. He does not rely on explosiveness to win the game, but relies more on wisdom and experience, so as he rises in age, Aoki Makoto's state not only does not decline, but "the more courageous the Vietnam war".
54 seconds naked before featherweight world champion Holorio Banario, 2 minutes 42 seconds neck bending down Nakajima James, 4 minutes 20 seconds cross solid surrender former lightweight world champion "landslide" Eduad Flajan, and consecutive wins Aoki Makoto also promoted to the second place in the lightweight list, while setting a number of new round cage records, including the most finishing record holder in lightweight history (10 games), and the most relegation record holder in the history of one championships (9 games).
However, after winning the three battles with Flayan, Aoki never appeared on the field again. He had planned to play a tangled match with Jiu-Jitsu world champion Gordon Ryan in August, but the match was cancelled due to Ryan's physical problems. After that, he proposed to fight with Yin Yulai and compete for the right to challenge the lightweight championship. However, Yin Yulai directly won the right to challenge, defeating Aoki Masaya's disciple "Warrior" Li Shenglong in five rounds of points, becoming the new lightweight world champion. A second battle is likely to be staged between Yin Yulai and Li Shenglong, so Aoki Makoto also needs to re-select his opponent.
Recently, Aoki Makoto also started a war of words with "sexy Akiyama" Akiyama Seiho. Aoki Makoto has long expressed his desire to compete with Akiyama. "If I had to say a name, Akiyama Could Interest Me. Ideally, I would have a fight with Akiyama in Japan. For Japanese boxing fans, my match with Akiyama will be very influential. I'm Japanese, so I want to bring a great game to the Japanese people, and that's why my name is Akiyama. In September, Aoki again offered to play against Akiyama, but Akiyama refused. So Aoki asked Akiyama in public why he didn't want to compete with him.
Akiyama said that it was not that he did not want to play, but that he was injured and could not fight. "A lot of people already know through my social media that I strained my muscles, followed the doctor's advice, I refused the game, which is very regrettable for me, I also want to stand on the field and fight as a martial artist, but the actual situation does not allow this, I can only refuse." Makoto Aoki is not ready to give up the challenge to Akiyama: "I frankly say that you don't have much time in your career. "The implication is not to wait too long.
Akiyama is indeed not young, and only he knows how long he can play at the age of 46. In February 2020, Akiyama Washun was selected for the KO of the year in the first leg of 3:04 KO "Shark" Sharif Mohammed, a match he has not played since. Muscle strain is not a major injury, as long as Aoki is stubbornly entangled, Akiyama seems to be difficult to drag on for too long.
Do you think this match between Makoto Aoki and Akiyama will happen?
