"Yesterday's Heroes, Tomorrow's Legends"
Due to his fearless fighting style, Takanori Gomi is one of Japan's most popular fighters. He is one of the last former PRIDE greats still active in the UFC, and will be facing a crossroads fight against the dangerous and unbeaten challenger Myles Jury on Sep. 20, which also happens to be his birthday. VICE catches up with Gomi as he talks about the early days of his career and what he hopes to accomplish down the road.
We also had the opportunity to chat with Nobuyuki Sakakibara, the former executive of PRIDE for the first time ever on camera since its downfall.
Still heavily involved in the entertainment industry, his latest production features Japanese superstar Gackt in a fantasy stage play that feels vaguely familiar to the PRIDE fights in the past, with his signature arrangement of lights and music. While assuring us that the UFC will soon lead Japanese MMA back to the forefront, he tells us that Gomi is one of the most talented fighters he has ever seen, and that he has what it takes to become UFC champion one day.
