the Joe Rogan experience. What is the state of Japanese MMA now? It was
gigantic for a while,
when Sakuraba was big, when you were huge, when Pride was filling 90,000 seat
arenas. Yeah, it was huge.
It was like nothing else. Yeah. It's like I experienced 60,000 at Rogers in
Canada when
George St. Pierre fought Jake Shields. I couldn't imagine 30 more thousand
people there. But you were
there for that. Yeah, it was awesome. I mean, if that was a 10 and before MMA
actually came
out when they only had Pancras and that was a 1, it's at like a 4 right now.
What happened?
It's Yakuza involvement. I mean, the thing that people don't realize is in
Japan, everything
is Yakuza involvement. Every big company, every big promotion. Shuto tries to
say that they
never get Yakuza involvement, but they're backed by Sumiyoshi, which is the
second largest group
in Japan. So everyone has Yakuza connections. Any big Coca-Cola company,
Johnson & Johnson,
any company has Yakuza connections. Wow. But it's not public. So say if Coca-Cola
goes over
there and they open up a plant in Japan, they must go through the Yakuza? They'll
have that
connections. Yes, definitely. How do they negotiate that? Well, it's really
easy. It's a turf thing.
It's a, if you know somebody, it's, it's, it's a percentage you pay. It's, it's,
it's a pretty
given thing. It's almost like, like taxes. Wow. Yeah. Paying taxes. It's just
accepted across
the board. Yes, it's accepted. It's accepted. That's why it's, it's funny how
when it became
public, everyone, it got really bad because it's, it's a weird thing. It's
accepted, but it's
frowned upon. It's something that they know they need to be a part of in
society, but they
don't want to make it public because the Yakuza has, does have a bad name. That
was the only
place where I've ever been where they asked me to cover up my tattoos. Yeah.
Yeah. That
was weird. That's why I don't have, I try to keep them out from my sleep. So it
comes up
from there. But after that, I stopped because I don't want to walk around and,
you know,
be kicked out of places. You know, I just got denied to go in a hotel like last
week when
I was in Japan. Really? Yeah. Because of my tattoos. With the neck? Is that
what it is? Yeah.
Yeah. They sell the neck. Yeah. They sell the neck. So if I wear a hoodie, it
covers it
up. So it helps. Yeah. I got, I got kicked out of a gym. They made me go put a
long sleeve
shirt on. Yeah. The gyms, even big gyms like Gold's Gym won't let you in. That's
crazy.
Yeah. What does it represent to Japanese? It represents the underworld, gangsters.
And
you know, they, you got to figure when you have a gang, there's two or three
top men. Those
men are awesome people. And then you got the rest of the hundreds and thousands
that are
punks. And that's the ones that you see. So basically a gangster, someone with
tattoos,
which equals Yakuza would mean trouble. And they would, if you go into a sports
gym and you're
working out next to a guy and you know, you're, you're working on, say you take
his weights
by accident because he's in the middle of a set. And if you're doing it to
someone that's
a normal person, he'll just say, Hey, I was using those weights. Oh, sorry.
Okay. Well,
it might be different for the Yakuza and people would rather not work out in
the area if there's
a Yakuza guy working out there. So it's a bad rap. I mean, it's just justifiable
though.
I can understand that. The UFC, when they went in and bought pride, it's kind
of a crazy story,
but they paid $65 million. They bought pride and they thought, you know, Hey,
we're going
to run pride as well as the UFC. They're the same way they did with strike
force. When
they bought strike force, they kept strike force going for years. They thought
they were going
to do that. But meanwhile, it turned out all of their contracts were illegal.
They really
didn't have anybody on the contract. They spent $65 million and all they really
got was a video
library. And then while they had offices in Japan and they were hiring these
people and paying
for them, they were starting up dream. They were starting up their own
organization, organizing
everything. And yeah. And then, you know, the UFC, it took years before they
could come back
and do a UFC there. It took, it took a long time.
I heard Dana was getting like some like underworld threats and, you know,
Was he?
Yeah. That's what I heard. I sent Dana an email on that because if anything, I
have a lot of
pull in that side. And I told him that if you have any problems with that, I
can help
you.
Well, what do you have to do? Come to you and then you go to them?
I get really respected in that world. So, um, I could, I, if I don't know the
person directly,
I have guys that know him. So if he had any type of problem, I still, it still
stands still
today. If Dana has any type of underworld problems there, if he calls me, I
take care of it for
him.
It's interesting that there's such an underworld presence in Japan because it
seems so safe
when you're there. Everything is so, people are so polite and you don't see
violence.
You don't see, like you see drunk people walking to the street. No one hurts
them. Everyone's fine.
The girls walk down dark lanes and it's okay.
Yeah. It's a strange sort of, you know, contrast.
Yeah. It's, it's, it's almost like you just have bad areas. Like in Shinjuku,
they have over
300 Yakuza offices there. Roppongi only has three.
Wow.
Yeah. So you got these districts that they're accumulated in.
They have offices?
They have offices.
Yeah.
The mafia doesn't have office.
Yeah. See, that's the thing. Like for me, I guess I grew up in America. So for
me, the
mafia just scares me way more. I mean, I have this image that you screw with
the mafia. You
better change your name. You better move and you better hide who your family is
and you
better get the hell out of, just disappear. But when you get in trouble with
the Yakuza,
I've been in trouble with them before. And it's, it's, it's like you can kind
of pretty
much deal with them the way you want to deal with them. You know, it depends on
how much
you're willing to sacrifice. Yeah. And for me-
What was your issue with them?
There was one with Kidd. When, when I, this guy, this Yakuza guy wanted to open
up a gym
and I agreed to open up a gym with him called Purebred Tokyo, Killer Bee. And I
just told
him that the only thing you have to do is you have to hire two of my fighters
so they can
make a living through fighting. And I wanted to help them out. I want no money.
You can use
my name of my gym, but you have to hire my two fighters. They hired Kidd and
they hired
Ryan Bull. And that was the two fighters and everything was good. And what
happened was
Kidd started, I guess from the influence of his father, he started being, the
loyalty issue
on him was getting, was swavering where he wasn't telling me stuff. He was
hiding stuff.
He was lying to me. And then I put that Yakuza guy in charge of him that ran
the gym. So
I told him, I called him and said, what's going on, man? You got to take care
of me. He
goes, I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. He's told me that. And it got
to a point
that he didn't take care of it. So I called him and I was pissed already by
now. And I called him and said, you know what? Call me. He avoided my calls for
three
days. So three, three, three weeks. And I'm sitting there, this guy's running
from me.
I'm thinking this is ridiculous. So I'm like, okay, this guy's running from me.
I'm not
going to look for him. I'm going to, he's going to pop up. These guys that try
to run,
they pop up all the time, you know? So I'm sitting there watching the Uno kid
fight and
the kid wins the fight and this guy's in the ring jumping and hugging him. And
team
I said, motherfucker, this guy's hiding from me. He's on national TV, hugging
me saying,
hey, Anson, I'm here. So I guess this is it. So I called my students. I said to
find out
where the after party is, went down to the after party. And I was literally
going to walk in
there, grab that guy with a hair and pull him out of the party. But my students
felt it
was going to be a problem. It was going to make too much commotion. Cops are
going to be
called. So they decided to get him in. They brought him up and brought him to
the park
and pretty much beat him for like 20 minutes, which is something you shouldn't
do in Japan.
Because in the Yakuza world, they work by face. They work by being tough, being
scary
to collect money and stuff. And if you've got all, they've got a black eye and
bruises on
their face, it kind of goes against the fact that they're tough people, you
know? So I beat
them up pretty bad. But see, the thing is, I never did pick on anyone. I never
did do anything
without a reason. And I believed that I would die for my beliefs tomorrow. And
I believed
that I was right. And this guy really deserved that shit. So if they didn't
like it, if the
top guys didn't like it, then they know where to find me. And so what happened
was it was
going on for 20 minutes. And when I went down, I let people and some people, my
friends know
and they were all worried. So they made calls. And we had two other Yakuza guys
come down
to the scene to try and stop me, to kind of get in between, not stop me
physically, but
to ask for forgiveness for this guy. And they were kind of like bowing in the
middle of me
and the guy, and I'm getting around and just giving him wax at a time. And if
he were to
fall from a hit, I'd grab him and stand him right back up.
Oh, shit.
Yeah. So it was kind of getting brutal. He was all bloody. And then these guys
were kind
of my friends too. So they weren't going to get involved, but they're trying to
stop me
from going too far. And when we, there's this old lady, you know how you have
the old ladies
in the neighborhood that don't give a fuck who you are. She, this lady comes on
and starts
screaming at us. You're making too much noise. And one of the Yakuza gets on
the lady
and I say, no, no, hey, man, don't do that, man. Let's go. So we moved over to
the next
part. And as we're moving over to the next part, like three fricking monkeys,
this guy's
higher ups, find out what's happening and come out. And they're walking up like
these,
you know, like the movies, like they're walking through. It was funny because I
call them monkeys
because they're walking through bushes. I saw them walking through the trees
and they came
out and I was like, oh, shit. These are the guys. These are like the hothead
guys. And
they came up to me and they're screaming in Japanese to me. Oh, we're going to
hurt you
now because you hurt our brother. And then some of my guys came and held him
back. And I
was like, okay, wait a minute. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen
now. So I
told my guys, let them go. I said, let them go. I said, I just want to say one
thing to
you guys. And they, they came up and they're all, they're, you know, they got
this stance
and they're all mad at me and looking at me. And I'm looking, I say, I got one
thing to
do. If I got one thing to say, if I say that you don't like it, we can have it
out. I said,
I'm ready to die tonight. And then this guy goes, okay. And so I tell him, okay,
if someone
fucked you over, I said, you want to punish them? Wouldn't that be fair? He
goes, yes, but
look what you did to him. Look at him. Look at him. He's all blood. He's
standing there all
bloody. And I said, well, you know what? Let's put it this way. Let's ask you
one question.
If I wanted to kill him with my hands, how fast do you think I could do it? He
said, probably
five minutes. Within five minutes. I said, hell, within two minutes, I killed
that fucker. And
he goes, yeah, but what do you do? What does that mean? And I said, well, I've
been hitting
him for 20 minutes. I said, dude, this is, this is like 10% of what I could do.
And I said,
don't you agree if you, what you, if you had somebody fuck you over and you
decide to just
do 10% out of respect to the people behind him, wouldn't you think that's fair?
And that
guy just changed straight up, boom, stopped. And he said, you're right, man.
Thank you.
Wow. That doesn't fly in America. That's, that's an interesting, interesting
code that they
operate on. They don't go to, they believe in the underworld side is, there's
two sides
of the fence. There's the legal side and the illegal side, the illegitimate
side. And
you are never, ever, if you're on the illegitimate side or you have a
legitimate problem, you are
never, ever allowed to go to the other side to get help. You're, you're, if you're
going
to stay, you're going to get other guys to help you on this side and retaliate,
that's
fine. But if you ever go to authorities and you lose face and you can never,
can ever work
in that world again. So. Wow. So you have to deal with things on your
own. When it's a problem like that. Yeah. You pretty much, if, if you, if you're
someone
from the outside and you're like a regular businessman and these guys come and
bother
you, the best thing to do is to go to authorities because of the, the police
are just waiting
to grab the Yakuza. So it's like a rule. It's like kryptonite to the Yakuza. If
you
go say you're going to the police, still back off. But if I, I live my life in
that
side, pretty much, you know, I mean, a lot of my friends are part of those
groups and
a lot of my beliefs run really deep with their beliefs. You know, the, I mean,
see, the thing
is, is you, you, when you hear about the Yakuza, they get a bad rap because you
talk
about child pornography, drugs, you know, extortion. Um, what is that? Uh, when
they, when
they steal money from people, you know, but the thing that they don't see, that's,
that's
all the things in the media, but the things that they don't see, which I feel
is a, is
really unfortunate is the, the honor and the loyalty they have for each other.
And that's
where me and them click really well. You know, I mean, they will die for anyone
in their group
tomorrow. They'll go to jail for 10 years for their boss tomorrow if they have
to. I mean,
you don't see that type of loyalty around all these, you know, non-American.
And I love,
you know, that I, I dig that loyalty, you know, and they, and that's, I think
that's why they
respect me so much is I, I will die for my values. I'll die for my people that
are close
to me. It's just such a unbelievably fascinating culture how different Japan is
in so many ways.
It's like a big, there's big gaps in it. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. It's, it's
really,
really, really fascinating stuff. It's just that all these different cultures
evolve
independently, that the Japanese culture evolved independently from the
American culture,
independently from the European culture. And it's so different. Yeah, it is.
All I think
all the places are different, man. It's hard to really move into a, a, a, a
different country
and, and run yourself in the way that you learned in another country because it's,
you know,
so when, when in Rome, what do you, what do you think about the state of a
Japanese MMA
right now? Because it's kind of in a transitionary period. And if one, at one
point in time,
it was gigantic. And you say Yakuza involvement is why people, corporate
sponsors backed out and
they lost a lot of viewership, but man, it was just not that long ago that they
were selling out
these gigantic places. What, what's going on right now? Well, right now, um,
like I said,
it's at the number four right now. There's people that are real hesitant. There's
not many sponsors
that want to put money into it. Um, on the flip side, the big thing that's
happening is gangster
events where they allow gangsters to fight in the ring. And yeah, it's crazy,
dude. It's like,
I attend all those. I'm like a guest in most of them. They pay me to just to be
there and to judge
sometimes, to make a speech in the ring, maybe in the beginning, because I'm so
respected in that
world that to have me there, a lot of these gangsters tone down, you know, when
they want
to riot, they don't riot, you know? I mean, you go to the event and it's not
unusual to see a picture
of two stick figures fighting and has a big X on it. So don't fight, don't
fight. It's like,
isn't that given you've never seen any signs of the UFC saying, please don't
fight. It's just like,
it's already given this not something you should do. Right. But yeah, so it,
that's a big thing
right now, but it's good because the gangster events actually, they, they, they
have head
butts. They have elbow striking that you can split stomp. You can need to groin.
You can do whatever
pretty much. No holds barred. They have two on one. They have two on two.
Really? It's crazy,
dude. How often do they have these fights? They have them about once a month,
man. There's
one. Holy shit. Yeah. And it's, it's like these guys, it's become, it's a good
trend because it's
become where these guys just came off the streets thinking they're tough, gassing
out in one minute
from these guys actually spending time in the gym now and being off the street.
So it's actually a
good movement. Um, a lot of, there's about three or four gangsters already now
that's actually made
their pro debut and deep. So these guys are actually going to run gangs and,
and start selling drugs and,
you know, doing illegal activity. They're now training and having a future in
fighting,
which is awesome. As far as the legitimate side of MMA, I, I see it, I can see
it picking up again.
And it's all due to the UFC. Um, so the UFC has done a couple of events there
now.
Yeah. The last one they did when I went to that, it was, it's huge, man. That's
so big. I mean,
as much as the Japanese fans are kind of losing hope in Japanese MMA, because a
lot of productions were
folding. Um, when, when we went to, when I went to the UFC, uh, I felt that,
that energy again,
when I was fighting in pride, that energy that they had in the audience. And
especially when rampage
came out with the pride music, it gave me goosebumps because when he came out
to that, I looked around
the arena and I was like, damn, this is just like a pride. This is a, this is a
pride. And I, I,
it's the first time since that big incident with the Yakuza movement and pride
that I've
actually seen that again. It, it, it was surreal to me actually. And I was like,
damn, this is gonna,
this is gonna be the, the, the ticket back is the UFC coming to Japan. If the
UFC did an ultimate
fighter in Japan and a Japanese version of it, would you be interested in
coaching? Oh yeah. Oh,
definitely. Yeah. I would love to. That would be perfect. You would be, you
would really be
perfect for something like that. Yeah. I would love that. You know.

going to look for him. I'm going to, he's going to pop up. These guys that try
to run,
they pop up all the time, you know? So I'm sitting there watching the Uno kid
fight and
the kid wins the fight and this guy's in the ring jumping and hugging him. And
team
I said, motherfucker, this guy's hiding from me. He's on national TV, hugging
me saying,
hey, Anson, I'm here. So I guess this is it. So I called my students. I said to
find out
where the after party is, went down to the after party. And I was literally
going to walk in
there, grab that guy with a hair and pull him out of the party. But my students
felt it
was going to be a problem. It was going to make too much commotion. Cops are
going to be
called. So they decided to get him in. They brought him up and brought him to
the park
and pretty much beat him for like 20 minutes, which is something you shouldn't
do in Japan.
Because in the Yakuza world, they work by face. They work by being tough, being
scary
to collect money and stuff. And if you've got all, they've got a black eye and
bruises on
their face, it kind of goes against the fact that they're tough people, you
know? So I beat
them up pretty bad. But see, the thing is, I never did pick on anyone. I never
did do anything
without a reason. And I believed that I would die for my beliefs tomorrow. And
I believed
that I was right. And this guy really deserved that shit. So if they didn't
like it, if the
top guys didn't like it, then they know where to find me. And so what happened
was it was
going on for 20 minutes. And when I went down, I let people and some people, my
friends know
and they were all worried. So they made calls. And we had two other Yakuza guys
come down
to the scene to try and stop me, to kind of get in between, not stop me
physically, but
to ask for forgiveness for this guy. And they were kind of like bowing in the
middle of me
and the guy, and I'm getting around and just giving him wax at a time. And if
he were to
fall from a hit, I'd grab him and stand him right back up.
Oh, shit.
Yeah. So it was kind of getting brutal. He was all bloody. And then these guys
were kind
of my friends too. So they weren't going to get involved, but they're trying to
stop me
from going too far. And when we, there's this old lady, you know how you have
the old ladies
in the neighborhood that don't give a fuck who you are. She, this lady comes on
and starts
screaming at us. You're making too much noise. And one of the Yakuza gets on
the lady
and I say, no, no, hey, man, don't do that, man. Let's go. So we moved over to
the next
part. And as we're moving over to the next part, like three fricking monkeys,
this guy's
higher ups, find out what's happening and come out. And they're walking up like
these,
you know, like the movies, like they're walking through. It was funny because I
call them monkeys
because they're walking through bushes. I saw them walking through the trees
and they came
out and I was like, oh, shit. These are the guys. These are like the hothead
guys. And
they came up to me and they're screaming in Japanese to me. Oh, we're going to
hurt you
now because you hurt our brother. And then some of my guys came and held him
back. And I
was like, okay, wait a minute. If it's going to happen, it's going to happen
now. So I
told my guys, let them go. I said, let them go. I said, I just want to say one
thing to
you guys. And they, they came up and they're all, they're, you know, they got
this stance
and they're all mad at me and looking at me. And I'm looking, I say, I got one
thing to
do. If I got one thing to say, if I say that you don't like it, we can have it
out. I said,
I'm ready to die tonight. And then this guy goes, okay. And so I tell him, okay,
if someone
fucked you over, I said, you want to punish them? Wouldn't that be fair? He
goes, yes, but
look what you did to him. Look at him. Look at him. He's all blood. He's
standing there all
bloody. And I said, well, you know what? Let's put it this way. Let's ask you
one question.
If I wanted to kill him with my hands, how fast do you think I could do it? He
said, probably
five minutes. Within five minutes. I said, hell, within two minutes, I killed
that fucker. And
he goes, yeah, but what do you do? What does that mean? And I said, well, I've
been hitting
him for 20 minutes. I said, dude, this is, this is like 10% of what I could do.
And I said,
don't you agree if you, what you, if you had somebody fuck you over and you
decide to just
