Of course, no one is forbidden to dream and Asakura can wish for the presence of whoever he wants, but so far no one knows much about Ohtani’s personal tastes and whether he enjoys the bloody spectacle of MMA, so his presence in the octagon the following Saturday and whether he received the message from his countryman, remain a mystery.
🗣️ Kai Asakura: “My advantage over Pantoja is that I can finish him in one shot. So if he makes even one mistake, I’m confident that I can KO him in one shot.” 👀

He doesn’t know Ohtani, but he wants to see him there
Asakura, who will face Brazilian Alexandre Pantoja, made this statement in an interview with TMZ Sports: “I never met Ohtani, but I would love for him to come and see my fight (…) They will realize that I have an explosive fighting style and I think they will see something they have never seen before. I want them to be my fans after this fight and also in the future,” concluded an enthusiastic Asakura, who is confident of defeating the ‘Cannibal’ in a fight that looks evenly matched, although he considers that it is not his most difficult opponent.
