I've known Shoji for over 20 years, even before he became the first Pancrase lightweight champion. He'll be competing in RIZIN LANDMARK 41 in NAGOYA tomorrow. He's covered in wounds and has had to cut weight severely. I wish he'd retire, but he's still a man. After the weigh-in, he was given hydrogen inhalation, vagus nerve stimulation therapy with vielight vagus, and lung activity conditioning.

Same as meI love the man A fighter with a human soul!
