DEEP MMA Promotion: Who Let the Hogs Out?
Posted in MMA, WTF by Lithobolos | Tags: DEEP, MMA, WTF
Looks like the Japanese MMA promotion DEEP is having a light heavy weight tournament. I currently don’t know anything about the participants, but I hope they are up and coming talent that can one day move on to fighting at that weight in larger events. There are not many great Japanese fighters at 205 in my opinion, but I wish there were.
The first stage should take place Feb 28th at DEEP 46 Impact in Korakuen Hall, Tokyo.
Now, all I have to do is figure out why a transvestite pig has become a symbol for higher weight class fighters…
P.S. – ……… YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS STANDING NEXT TO A PIG THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT!

Edit: Here’s a great Nightmare of Battle post on the event

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.
Lithobolos says:
So is DEEP the pig or is it all of Japanese MMA?
Bakeneko says:
That’s a good question. None of the other blogs on the web(The English ones, anyway), know what it is.
Maybe it’s one of those things where you just have to be Japanese to understand.it.^_~

Great detective work! Hopefully their food isn’t as freaky as their mascot.
