Japanese grappling sensation and mixed martial arts legend Shinya Aoki has built a career full of defining moments, and most of the time, it involved his opponent tapping out.
Exceptional Debut
Not many people in any sport have displayed shades of greatness in their early years the way Aoki did. On Nov. 24, 2003, he joined Deep’s West Chofu Tournament and beat two guys on the same night to become the overall winner in what were his first two professional fights. What’s even more impressive is the fact that he tapped out both opponents in the first round.
