Chan Sung Jung
Dear Mr. Geroges St. Pierre

Hi, My name is Chan Sung Jung from South Korea. As one of many Koreans who like you as an incredible athlete, I feel like I should tell you that many Korean fans, including myself, were shocked to see you in your gi designed after the Japanese 'Rising Sun Flag'. For Asians, this flag is a symbol of war crimes, much like the German Hakenkreuzflagge. Did you know that? I hope not.

Just like Nazis, the Japanese also committed atrocities under the name of 'Militarism'. You can easily learn what they've done by googling (please do), although it's only the tiny tip of an enormous iceberg.


Furthermore, the Japanese Government never gave a sincere apology, and still to this day, so many victims are dying in pain, heartbroken, without being compensated. But many westerners like to wear clothes designed after the symbol under which so many war crimes and so much tragedy happened, which is ridiculous.

I know most of them are not militarists. I know most of them do not approve unjustified invasion, torture, massacre, etc. They're just ignorant. It's such a shame that many westerners are not aware of this tragic fact. Wearing Rising Sun outfits is as bad as wearing clothes with the Nazi mark on it, if not worse.

Since you're influenced by Japanese Martial Arts, your wearing a headband designed after Japanese flag is understandable. But again, that huge 'Rising Sun' on your Gi means something else.

Many people say GSP is the best Welterweight fighter throughout history, to which I totally agree. This means you have a great influence on every single fan of yours all around the world. And I do believe your wearing 'the symbol of War Crime' is a very bad example for them, not to mention for yourself.

So, what do you reckon?
Do you want to wear the same Gi next time as well? — with Georges St-Pierre and Georges St-Pierre.

They should find a Japanese fighter to match the Korean Zombie up against and let him take out his frustrations that way.

In all seriousness, I didn't know that was an offensive symbol. If it is that serious, maybe GSP should listen.

Calling this now: Marina Shafir will be the next WMMA star. She was a high level judoka and teammate of Rousey's at the national level. They're also BFFs/roomies. All three of her wins come via... armbar. Would be sweet to see her on TUF.

Apparently GSP is going to have a small part in the Captain America sequel:

Quote:
Another Marvel Universe villain is set to appear in Anthony and Joe Russo's Captain America: The Winter Soldier as Latino Review reports that UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre will be playing French kickboxing master Georges Batroc, AKA Batroc the Leaper.

With origins dating all the way back to 1966's "Tales of Suspense" #75, Batroc doesn't have any superhuman abilities beyond his mastery of martial arts. While he's primarily a Cap foe, he's appeared throughout the Marvel Universe and done battle with the likes of Spider-Man, the Punisher, Iron Fist and many more.

St-Pierre, who hails from Quebec, has previously appeared in the martial arts films Death Warrior and Never Surrender, both directed by Hector Echavarria.

Also set to star Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Scarlett Johansson, Toby Jones, Emily VanCamp, Hayley Atwell, Robert Redford and Maximiliano Hernández, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is said to be a political thriller inspired by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting's acclaimed arc in the comics.

The sequel begins production shortly, aiming for an April 4, 2014 release.

Upbeat UFC featherweight Marcus Brimage is not particularly happy with the match ups UFC officials have thrown his way thus far, telling MMA Fight Corner that he believes he is being used as a "stepping-stone" for fighters who come into the organization with hype around them and that people think he "sucks."

"The plan is to win by any means necessary. If it goes to decision it sucks, but it'll go to decision. If I knock his ass out in the first, then I knock his ass out in the first. We don't get paid by the round in the UFC. It's just that the position I'm in, in the UFC, everyone thinks I suck. Sooo if I beat you, you really suck. Because they keep using me as a stepping-stone. Maximo Blanco he was supposed to on the fast track to Aldo, I stopped that...Jimy Hettes, I stopped that. Now this guy, and I'm about to stop that again. They think I suck. They keep using me as a stepping stone, but if I keep beating you and you suck, then that means you really suck."

-- Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight Marcus Brimage (6-1) tells MMA Fight Corner about the lack of appreciation he feels from fans and the UFC brass going into his UFC on FUEL TV 9 bout against highly touted Irish prospect Conor McGregor. Despite holding a 3-0 record inside the Octagon, "The Bama Beast" is being regulated to the Facebook preliminary portion of the card against an organizational newcomer. That doesn't appear to sit well with Mr. Brimage as he thinks the promotion is using him as a stepping-stone for new talent, a point that's hard to argue after taking a look at his record and list of opponents. Regardless of Brimage's feelings, a win against McGregor at UFC on FUEL TV 9 would move him to 4-0 under the UFC banner and he will certainly receive a pretty significant step up in competition.

UPDATED: Jon Jones Injured, BJ Penn steps in to fight Chael Sonnen At UFC 159 | UFC NEWS

The injury bug is starting to spread. After rumors of the UFC on FUEL TV 9 event being in jeopardy due to an injury to Alexander Gustafsson, sources are now reporting that Jon Jones has suffered an undisclosed injury forcing him out of the UFC 159 Main Event.

UFC President Dana White could not have been happy when he got the call that one of the more anticipated UFC PPV events is losing one of the Main Event fighters. The injury that is forcing the Light Heavyweight champion to withdraw is said to be ‘very serious’ and he could miss “significant time” according to sources.

Trying to find a suitable replacement for the Main Event would be a difficult task, especially on such short notice. The fight is just under 4 weeks away, but a legend of the sport has stepped up: BJ Penn. When the 2x UFC champion heard of the injury to Jones, he made the call to White and asked for the fight.

The UFC granted Penn’s request.

UFC 159 is set to go down from New Jersey’s Prudential center on April 27. The Penn vs. Sonnen fight will serve as the evening’s headliner.

UPDATE:

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY FROM BJPENN.COM

If you were offended by George St. Pierre's walkout gi from his UFC 158 fight against Nick Diaz last month in Montreal, then you must be an idiot.

That's according to former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight Ryo Chonan, who thinks you might be too stupid to go out and educate yourself on the history involving Korea and Japan as it pertains to war crimes back in World War II.

From Samurai Life (via Middle Easy):

"All the people complaining about the Rising Sun flag is an idiot. Learn history! Even though that might be too much for you idiots. I don't care about the comfort women (girls and women essentially held captive in a life of enforced prostitution in the Imperial Japanese Army), go make more statues in Korea. Japan is too busy. There is a lot of exaggerations and anti-Japanese education in regards to Japanese involvement in World War II. Japan actually helped Korea and made it a developed country. Also when Japan was there Korea was not divided between North and South."

Subtle.

St. Pierre was openly criticized by fellow UFC star Chan Sung Jung (see his beef here), who called "Rush" out for sporting a Rising Sun flag that was, by "Korean Zombie's" definition, the equivalent of the Swastika in terms of offensive symbolism.

That's just idiotic, says Chonan.

Nevertheless, leading retailer of combat sports apparel, Hayabusa, promised to keep the offending gi off the market while St. Pierre promptly apologized for his unintended gear gaffe (read his statement here). All's well that ends well, right?

Not if you ask the Japanese "Piranha."

For those who don't understand portuguese, Eduardo Picanço is Anderson Silva's dentist, and a friend asked if he could get an autograph from him because her son was a big fan. The boy used to be very athletic but he had a very rare bone desease that stuck him in a wheelchair, so the mother asked the autograph to give him strenght for the rehabilitation, but Anderson Silva rather to make a surprise for the boy. I apologize for my english, just wanted to let the world know how good this dude is.
