Just got back from DEEP 54 (pics)

Awesome event! Megumi hooked me up with some tickets. Most of the fights were really exciting.

My friend Otsuka won the bantam weight title which was cool. Hung out with him and the rest of the AACC crew afterwards. Also got a few autos.

Otsuka with his new belt

Hayato "Mach" Sakurai (met him in the crowd. Always a cool guy)

Ryo Chonan (the man who SUBMITTED Anderson Silva with one of the sickest subs ever!)

Yoshiyuki Nakanishi (DEEP light heavyweight champion)

Awesome autos Ty. Would have loved to get those 2 pride cards autographed also!

He'll end his career as a mid-level fighter, but will ALWAYS be the guy that submitted the spider.

Agreed with the Deep belts. Very simple with an old-school feel.

I've always found it odd that on all the Japanese belts, everything is mainly written in bold English letters.
