Besides being the biggest Japanese MMA star around these days, Shinya Aoki is one of the fighters to best apply Jiu-Jitsu in the rings and cages. Of his 24 wins, 15 have come by way of submission.
At the last installment of the Dream promotion, last Saturday, the black belt did no different. Against Tatsuya Kawajiri, he secured a hold on his opponent’s foot, and squeezed for the tapout at 1:52 min.
