Making a surprise appearance is 2008 judo gold medalist Satoshi Ishii, fresh off his trip to the states. Clad in a UFC t-shirt, Ishii takes to the ring to address the crowd.

“Happy New Year everyone. I am the MMA Fighter, Ishii Satoshi,” says a nervous sounding Ishii to thunderous applause.

“I am very honored to be here, addressing you all today. There was a rumor the other day that a certain fighter lost at an MMA event, and people were saying it was me. That’s not true,” says Ishii, perhaps referencing Akihito Tanaka’s performance as Kinniku Mantaro at Dynamite.

“Do you folks like MMA? It’s really quite wonderful, isn’t it? I like it a lot,” stammers Ishii nervously, eliciting laughs from the crowd.

“In the future, I will fight in US, but I will return to this ring with a big souvenir for you all,” says Ishii.

“I see that the Yokozuna, Asashoryu is here today, so I’d like to fight him maybe,” he jokes with a good natured stutter.

“Please support me this year,” he closes.
