	KID vs. Genki: 'Unresolved Tension'
		Genki is the center and the KID is the second hand circling reluctantly as time ticks away, perhaps trying to frustrate his nemesis.
		The strike which preceded Genki going to the ground was clearly on an illegal spot, as was the intentional one to the back of the head in the early half of the fight.
		Sudo was obviously still aware at the fights shut off, but he is too much of a class act to raise a fuzz to the fuzz.

	Genki Sudo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Genki Sudo (須藤元気, born March 8, 1978) is a Japanese mixed martial artist who currently competes in the Japanese based fight organization K-1.
		Although he is seen as a fighter with good striking ability and has won fights by knockout in both mixed martial arts and kickboxing, Genki Sudo's skill set seems primarily focused on grappling and submission wrestling techniques.
		Among the rather unorthodox techniques that he favors and can use effectively are the spinning backfist, a Jiu Jitsu leg-triangle choke and Jiu Jitsu armbar (both of which he can apply while standing), as well as dancing and turning his back to opponents in order to taunt or distract in mixed martial arts.

		In addition to his ground skills, Genki Sudo is only one of few submission artists that will even attempt to execute the Flying Triangle, a move that many consider to be one of the most difficult submission techniques to implement.
		Although we all realize that Genki Sudo's intent, while turning his back to an opponent, is a setup for him to draw in the opponent, this signifies that Genki Sudo is concentrating more on his own game plan and not devoting his full attention to his opponents actions.
		Genki's fighting style is based on the "Bushido" or "The Samurai Way"; which in it's truest form requires one to learn the fighting technique as well as the philosophy and spirit of a warrior.

		Sudo thanked everyone for their support and stated that he would like to finish fighting in the ring on this day.
		Sudo cited a persistent neck injury along with a nagging ankle injury as reasons for his departure at the young age of twenty-eight.

	Monkey Man
		Most of Sudo's fight career is in MMA and we don't follow that but, as a kickboxer Sudo is at best verynoticeable.
		Sudo alternates between running around the ring and spinning like a top (oh and he's got a spiked butt!).
		To his credit, Sudo catches Kohi off guard a bit and knocks him down, but Kohi is having none of that and comes back to give Sudo a technical knock out with leg kicks (note: A feat Masato could not achieve in his fight with Sudo a year later).

		Genki Sudo, one of the most skilled and yet unorthodox fighters in the lightweight division, has long been seen as a top competitor, but also has a great many critics for his lack of top named opponents.
		Sudo was able to secure a triangle choke in the middle of round 1 and leave the Mandalay Bay Events Center a winner.
		Neither Genki Sudo or “Kid” Yamamoto had to go through the same level of competition to get to the finals as their Pride rivals, but now that the finals are set, this looks to be an absolutely tremendous match-up.

		Sudo is very good on the ground, while Yamamoto is an aggressive fighter with superior strikes.
		Sudo started the bout with his sly, turned-sideways circling routine -- a unorthodox approach that appears comic only until Sudo unleashes one of his equally unorthodox but lethal attacks.
		Sudo got to his feet immediately, and was less than pleased with what he considered an early stoppage.

	Martial Arts Planet - Genki Sudo vs Norifumi Yamamoto
		Genki should take it too the ground; Kid Yamamoto is known for his one punch knockout and is very good standing up.
		Sudo basically has to win it with a sub (as he has done in two fights he may have been losing so far in the tourny) but Kid is fast, hard to take down, and a superb grappler.
		Sudo is going to have to get this on the mat in any unorthadox way he can, but when he gets there he's going to have to face kids HUGE GnP left hand, and his considerable strength in ground control.

		Also, Genki is a clown, he will probably make a mockery of dekkers, I'd prefer they just throw him in with someone like BJ penn who will sub him quickly, Ramon gets his paycheck and thats it.
		Genki Sudo is entertaining but he's never disrespectful, I can't imagine him trying to embarress Ramon in any way.
		I mean embarass in the regard that genki is likely to do his dancing and monkey antics around the ring before taking dekkers to the ground and quickly submitting him.....

		Genki was very briefly in guard then change position and had the heelhook within 10 seconds of being on the ground.

	Ian Schaffa KOs Genki Sudo
		Genki came out to another new and spectacular dance routine, while Ian stayed calm and focused waiting in the ring.
		Second round Genki didnt try to showboat, but not long into the second, Schaffa threw the best kick of the event, shocking Genki and the whole audience with Genki ending up on the canvas.
		The spinning heel kick connected clean with Genki's jaw, and although he beat the count, he was unable to recover to his full capacity.

		Interesting, because Sudo has fought overseas in the UFC and it hasn’t appeared to be a problem.
		When asked about what he thought about Maeda’s comments, Genki Sudo said, “Well, it’s my strategy and style.” He continued,” I’m just trying to win.” And, he also said,” I don’t intend on changing my style.” Genki went on to say that he uses Napoleon’s strategy.
		On a different note, Genki said that the night of the fights was on the 60th anniversary of his grandfather’s death.

		Sudo dispatched the older man in style with some vicious punches on the ground, before kicking off his campaign for a year-end fight with Royce Gracie.
		Sudo has incredible talent though and is such an unorthodox fighter a it’s going to be very hard for Miyata to prepare a strategy.
		Sudo’s last such experience was back in 1999, when he beat Kousei Kubota and lost to Minoru Toyonaga in one day during that year’s Pancrase Neo-Blood tournament.

		Kazuyuki Miyata met Genki Sudo in the first matchup, and there was plenty of acrobatic action from these two Japanese fighters.
		Sudo had a strong finish, working the armbar seconds from the final bell to submit his opponent and advance.
		Yamamoto and Sudo took center ring after the tournament, thanking the crowd and pledging to do their best when they meet to finish their business on New Year's Eve.

	Genki Sudo - Sherdog Mixed Martial Arts Forums
		IMO Sudo fighting in the UFC is not as far fetched as Wandy vs Chuck..
		Genki is a solid character, but I do not think Dana would front the resources allowing Sudo to choreagraph his entrances with an entourage of dancers.
		I'd love to see Genki fight in the UFC again but I dont see it happening, he's probably being paid well in K-1 and with his apperence at the end of Bushido 9 you have to wonder if he may be making a move to Pride in the future.

		Genki always says, "The entrace performance is 50% of my game." He is a true professional.
		Genki utilized his striking skill to control the fight against Miyata, former national freestyle wrestling champion.
		Sudo then squashed Takaya to the ground quickly moving to the side-mount, going for an armbar.

		Sudo has next to no chance against Royce and I don't think for one minute he will accept this fight.
		The difference is that Genki is two weight divisions smaller than Sakuraba, and PRIDE is known for having bigger men fighting on their main cards.
		When Genki fought Royler he played defense the entire fight and did whatever he could not to stay or go to the ground.

		Genki fights at 155 in the UFC so i don't think there will be that big a difference in weight....
		I don't think Genki or Gracie has to weigh-in, I think it's like Pride where they just ask you what u weigh, Genki is going to come into this fight walking around at like 170, Gracie is at best 145 to 150.

		When he does fight a real fighter, he plays the trackstar and runs around for his own survival.
		Both his eyes were swollen shut, he had a concussion, and I believe a broken nose.

		Pride won’t be the only show in Japan on New Year’s Eve with a lightweight tournament final…K-1 puts the finishing touches on their “Hero’s” lightweight tournament with UFC veteran Genki Sudo taking on Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto.
		Sudo had fought in K-1 once before beating the much larger Eric “Butterbean” Esch on the New Year’s Eve show in 2003, and in his return knocked out Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend Royler Gracie.
		Genki Sudo and “Kid” Yamamoto will square off on New Year’s Eve in the finals of the K-1 Hero’s lightweight tournament.

		Kraus is one of the top K-1 World Max fighters, whereas Sudo— although you have to love his performance-art entrances and the way he prances around in the ring during a bout, running in backward circles before suddenly attacking with some hitherto unnamed maneuver—is a bit of a freak.
		But the problem with an unorthodox fighter like Sudo is that you never know what he will do next—and if he can surprise you, then he can hurt you.
		Although veteran referee Nobuaki Kakuda at the outset warned Sudo not to run round or turn his back to his opponent, the bad boy came up with a number of other ways to frustrate his opponent.

		The second, between flashy Japanese fighter Genki Sudo, and WBC America Jr Middleweight Champion Michael Lerma of the United States, was something else entirely.
		Sudo's plan was to stick to the perimeter and stay constantly in motion to his left, forcing Lerma the southpaw into a fruitless circle-and-follow mode.
		But, again, Sudo was a step ahead -- he turned away, resorted to clinching when necessary, and stymied most everything Lerma attempted.
