Preach!

Genki Sudo's entrances might just be the most colourful in the history of MMA. That's saying something, considering that most of them were in Japan, where MMA entrances were quite often more of a spectacle than those in pro-wrestling.

Sudo would outdo his supremely entertaining entrances with his bizarre fighting style, often starting fights with his back towards his opponents and dancing to throw them off. UFC fans were treated to his in his fights against Duane Ludwig, Leigh Remedios and Mike Brown.

Well, something worked because he retired with an impressive 16-4-1 record, which included wins against WEC Featherweight Champion Mike Brown, Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nate Marquard, Royler Gracie, former WWE star Eric "Butterbean" Esch and Muay Thai legend Ramon Dekkers.

But what will be foremost in fans' memory is when, after a fight, he would unfurl a flag which read "We Are All One". It endeared him no end to fans and nevermind the applause it never failed to draw, it is a thought which will be forever relevant in society, perhaps now more than ever.

After retiring from MMA in 2006, Genki Sudo donned many hats - he became the lead vocalist of the Japanese synthpop group "World Order", acted in a couple of movies, authored more than a dozen books, received a Master's degree and even managed a university wrestling team with great success.
