Since Nick Diaz will be making his return soon after a five year hiatus, I thought it’d be fun to talk about a fighter who has been fun for the whole Diaz family: Koji Oishi. If you don’t remember his name, then you probably remember the image. Oishi was the undersized Japanese welterweight who fought Nick in yellow spandex at UFC 53.
Joe Rogan couldn’t stop crapping on Koji’s technique. Rogan claimed Oishi was trying to block Nick’s punches with his own punches after watching Oishi backstage. When the two met at the center of the octagon to start, Rogan described Oishi as “lackadaisical” and a dude “just wandering” the arena before the fight.
