DREAM 4 fight video of Shinya Aoki Vs Katsuhiko Nagata from the Middleweight Grand Prix 2008 Quarterfinals.
Aoki is the #1 P4P fighter in the world
Impressive gogoplata! Shinya’s got sick jujitsu
Hot Damn!!! That was awesome! I was pissed that he got by GZ, but that was amazing.
God dammit! He’s a fucking animal man! So patient!
can’t say i’ve ever seen someone pull off a gogoplata from the top.. awsome
aoki annoys me, i love to see Eddie Alvarez smash his face in
go go from the top….impressive
This kid is an beast. Seriously who thinks -”Am in full mount so am just gonna gogoplata him.” If only he could bring his standup to equal even half of his goundwork.
aoki is super sick at jujitsu and acting. I remember not too long ago he fought jz (1st time). he played up a groin kick when i thought i saw a clean kick to the stomach. their second fight i still thought jz won and the votes went to aoki. jz vs. aoki 3
even all his japanese rock antics before and after fights are pure comedy to me. the guy cracks me up. skin tight pink pants, mouthing his entrance music, and big time tears after his fights equal comedy.
it just sucks that he can kick so much ass. i would hate to be beat by him. you’d never hear the end from all your friends.
that was sick as shit!
Impressive, that’s fore sure, but don’t exaggerate it. “Number one pound for pound fighter in the world”………….yeah okay! Seriously, any decent striker with take down defense would crush him! There are plenty of guys in the UFC’s 155 class who would put a beating on Aoki.
As for the submission……..again, it was impressive, but you have to consider some things.
First, it was an incredible mismatch (Japanese MMA at it’s finest) and it would be much more difficult to pull off such a move on a high caliber opponent.
Second, Aoki had him mounted for so damn long, he was purposely looking/waiting for this particular move, it wasn’t like a sweet flowing transition into a gogo (not even close), rather it looked very forced.
Third, anyone with a credible JJ background who posesses long legs can pull this move off, especially on this caliber of opponent, it almost looked like he was practicing submissions on the mat-dummy.
So again, don’t overplay it.
i agree that aoki should’t be called the #1 pound for pound. he needs to face way more top tier fighters. plus i feel he’s babied by the japenese because he’s like a rock star there. i want to see him fight in other countries as well. his record will drop i’m sure.
his pants are so colourful… ![]()
too bad ol’ dan mirgliotta wasn’t reffing. fight would have been stopped way before the submission.
Awesome gogoplata by Aoki…as for the pants, wait till you see his yellow GI! lol
I agree he is babied by the Japs but what really annoys me about his fights is he just turns them into Grappling matches…but still siiick Jitsu there..
some of you guys are idiots…the guy he fought is an olympic judo guy and you guys saying that his oopponent that he fought has no skills are ididots…. nuff said!!!
considering nagata is an olympic silver medalist i wouldn’t say it was a mismatch… Aoki is just really good..
That was fucking awesome. That is 10TH PLANET JIU JITSU for you, EDDIE BRAVO AKA THE RUBBER GUARD MASTER taught Aoki that move, GOGOPLATA FROM THE MOUNT.
Shinya Aoki is definitely one if my favorite fighters
LONG LIVE JIU JITSU
Just to let you all know… he is a black belt in both Jiu Jitsu and Judo!
When you are so good at grappling, all you need is to avoid getting knockoed out!…lol
Please all of you UFC nut huggers that always knock fighters from other organizations with the famous quotes “He needs to be tested with better caliber opponents” AKA UFC.. go and stuff your mouth with more UFC jock!

Sadly but true…. only in Japan, can two fighters hit the floor, grapple, and not hear BOOS!!!! Noticed how quite the crowd was?
That my American friends is called respect… respect for the fighters, their arts, and the sport!
PLEASE LEARN!!!
Slick Sub. Man…forget those fight shorts GSP wears….Raindbow colored fight PANTS are the sh*t!
dude….are u guyz serious??……nagata is a total can…..who cares if he won the silver medal in the olympics….his performance during the match is what counts and what i saw was basically no ground game whatsoever…..he was a total fish on his back dude was squirming and had no defense…..silver medal or not…..nagata sucks….prolly couldve done a flying gogoplata if shinya wanted to
OMFG aoki wins the tourney
Csari0 I do agree alot of American fans (and british fans) are quick to boo when people lock up in a clinch or grapple battle…but at least there are points were the crowd goes wild! Like in London we were doing mexican waves, dancing singing and generally going nuts…but in Japan its like they are at the museum watching some kind of exhibition with the occasional oooohhhh and ahhh as if they were on shrums or smth. So I think both cultures could learn from one another.
yeah, all those high school wrestlers like boetsch are alot better than OLYMPIC silver medalists.
Plus the guy beat Artur Oumakhanov to reach the second round so he’s not exactly a stiff, certainly better than guys off the street like Day in the last UFC.
UFC doesn’t automatically mean top tier fighters. And no, Aoki would never get signed by UFC because even though UFC won’t admit it, they are taking a liking to strikers. Guys who aren’t “interesting” are getting cut from the roster. Sure UFC has the top 2-3 lightweights in the world, but doesn’t mean everyone in the UFC is better than Aoki. Aoki IMO is an awesome grappler, maybe better than almost everyone, he just needs work with his striking. And if you can’t neutralize Aoki from the ground, then that’s your fault. It’s obvious every fight he takes it to the ground, then just work on take down defense.
i gottah give it up to shinya tho hes pretty tyte….and just because he has him mounted for so long doesnt mean anything…..bjj is all about patience…who cares how long he had him there bro…..position be4 submission…..he was just waiting for the ryte moment……and oh yea….it was a locoplata
very impressive, but i’d like to see him do this to bj penn or even sean sherk
that was a wicked submission, i dont care if he planned to do that from the beginning or not, that is very impressive, and he even finished it without rolling to his back too
Shinya is nasty at Judo thats his background thats whats up cuz im a judo player not Jujitsu…Judo idiots
Guys, respect this fighter, and we need to agree a lot of TOP Grapplers and MMA fighters in this weights are from Japan: Genki Sudo, Sakuraba, Gomi, Rumina Sato, etc etc etc, with a lot of skills and very brave.
They fight against a lot of UFC fighters and won, so more respect with those fighters.
If you learned to read you would have noticed that Aoki has a black belt in BOTH judo and jiujitsu…who’s the idiot now?
Anyone know what happened to Kenki Sudo? I haven’t seen or heard anything from him or about him in a while. He’s both an entertaining fighter as well as a good one. Anyone who hasn’t seen any of his matches should check him out. Very unorthodox and unconventional fighter. Wish there were more like him!
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww he is amazing………..gogoplata………
