Report: Satoshi Ishii debut postponed
By Zach Arnold | June 24, 2009
So sayeth Daily Sports newspaper, which says that Ishii’s MMA debut will likely happen on November 7th in Tokyo at Ryogoku Kokugikan.
Ishii reportedly had a minor hernia-related surgical procedure and had moved back a trip to Holland to train.
Plus, a new article on this topic in general: Problems for Satoshi Ishii and Sengoku in Japan

I\’m amazed nobody is considering the obvious possibility that they never intended Ishii to fight on the Aug. 2nd card in the first place. That article just seems kind of weird to me… why assume he is having trouble with training or finding the right opponent? I don\’t buy the premise that because he isn\’t fighting ASAP, something must be wrong.
