Makes me wonder though, withoout organised crime, would we even have MMA? Let's face it, most MMA shows attract a few hundred paying customers and no TV etc, so without crime gangs laundering money through the big shows, MMA would probaby die away. The entire 'sport is riddled with crime and gangsters, which is not surprising for a combat sport i suppose. Great read.

Is World Victory Road, the new promotion starting up, also tainted with Yakuza ties? It would be nice to see the Japanese MMA scene revive again somehow and get past this dark stage.

A shooting took place right next to DSE's office in Aoyama (Tokyo) basically in broad view of everyone and it garnered major headlines. Tadamasa Goto, the godfather of the gang, was arrested at the time along with 9 others. The thing about Kawamata is that he can't go out in public and claim that he was clean. He admitted that he was a yakuza fixer in Shukan Gendai and spilled his guts. At the time he was doing this, everyone basically thought he was a dead man walking. He still might be, I don't know.
