ファイトランド Episode 1：澤田龍人- Fightland Ep.1: A New Era

VICEの格闘技シリーズ「ファイトランド」日本第１弾は、若手格闘家・澤田龍人をフィーチャー。
東京出身の17歳、特技はスープレックス。幼少時代に父親に連れられては総合格闘技の試合を観てきたという澤田選手は、当時の桜庭和志選手に憧れを抱く。それがきっかけとなって格闘技の頂点を目指すように。
2013年10月、期待の若手MMA選手として総合格闘技イベント「Vale Tudo Japan 3rd」に参加した澤田選手。その後ろ姿をVICEが追う。
The new VICE Japan series FIGHTLAND, tells the story of MMA as it is today: an ever-expanding, ever-evolving culture where athletes sacrifice their blood and bodies in a shared search for something like art. Since the downfall of Japan's major MMA organizations Pride and K-1 Heroes, the landscape for up and coming fighters has changed quite a bit. The traditional promotion companies Shooto and Vale Tudo Japan (VTJ) have survived however, keeping the MMA scene in Japan alive by being a springboard for young fighters.
In the first episode, we feature 17-year-old MMA prodigy and AACC fighter Ryuto Sawada. He started wrestling when he was 4 years old, and currently lives a life consisting of only his part-time job and training at the gym. He has had 2 amateur fights so far and one professional fight, becoming MVP of each event. Many expect him to become a leading figure in the next generation of MMA fighters.
Vale Tudo Japan is the biggest MMA event in Japan at the moment and Ryuto is seen competing alongside legends such as Hideo Tokoro and Caol Uno in their 3rd tournament on Oct. 5. The world famous Kid Yamamoto was also in attendance, explaining that he "knew of Sawada since he was little, and he has tremendous power in the ring."
Sawada's mentor, as well as pound-for-pound MMA queen Megumi Fuji, will also have her retirement fight / revenge match in the same event against Jessica Aguilar.

いい家族。お父さんの笑顔も最高。

[@rokomichi]

That last scene with Megumi in the center of the ring...it gave me the chills!

[@Bones12x2]

Man...that was very emotional to see Fuji's career end in such a frustrating and sad way. She is a legend.

[@FunkyBukkyo]

I was looking forward to a good final match. It was an emotional ending

[@Chilipeppergrl94]

I love this series you guys are doing!! I've been very interested in MMA and UFC fighters (esp ones from Japan and Korea)! Come out with ep 2 soon.

[@CzeslawMeyer012]

Please make an episode 2! I really enjoy watching this episode so I am excited to see the next one!

[@lurkwave]

I remember when KZbin was filled with good people. Now there is a bunch of 10 year olds who think they know something from what they learned in a video game.

[@semir2607]

hahaha

[@lurkwave]

***** and.... who are you referring to? :P

[@lurkwave]

You do realize I was referring to people in the comments...right?

[@sergiohidalgo3551]

Just Your Shadow filled with good people... I dont remember that... ahahaha

[@oithatguyio]

That was a fantastic episode !!!!! Can't wait for more like these !!

[@Missioneer]

Anyone else notice how awesomely styled his PS3 was?

[@TheMagiAlchemist]

Great vid. Looking forward to another one

[@juanontivero]

Thank you VIce. I know nothing of MMA or UFC but I really enjoyed it.

[@worrybeunhappy]

To think that there are so many motivated youths like Sawada all over the World who watched PRIDE and the UFC and got inspired to become fighters. I am really excited to find out what the MMA scene will look like in 10 years time. I definitely wanna see the next ep of Fightland! =)

[@vankilsing]

[@shay206]

Bring more episodes to this series!

[@user-km5jj7tj9l]

もっとこのシリーズやってほしい

[@shystree08]

また、日本の格闘技界が盛り上がってほしいな

[@FunkyFrank94]

MMA is like art. Nothing for me is so fascinating then watching good fights.

[@nathanjoyce8871]

I wish Ryuto all the best for his fighting career, seems like a good hardworking kid.

[@Radioinactiv]

Fujii keeps getting screwed! Bad judging decisions and then the eye poke for her last fight... It's a shame, she is the best female fighter in the world and it would be awesome to see her and Ronda Rousey fight.

[@JunJunisKing]

that last shot of 藤井さん gives me goosebumps man.

[@PBrrtrn]

Ryuto had a fight in ONE not very long ago, achieving a great victory. He seems like a very good person, and is still awfully young. I hope all the best for him!

[@pablotoes1925]

amazing , i love how they love there passion

[@mgwolfgam3r159]

qqqqqaqqqq, que no me acuerdo

[@c4un544n5]

VICE Japan Really well made video! Well done!!

[@leonmorimoto]

[@user-xb3ok4co7f]

ウッキーや手塚、矢地など有名選手がさりげなく、けっこう出てますねw

[@ImSofaKingGood]

Damn, dat suplex. These lightweight fighters have exciting, fast-paced fights.

[@caramelcoffees]

Aww pity about Megumi... I'm sure she wanted to go out striking...

[@Josey_Wales]

Great watch!

[@user-xb3it4pv6b]

やっさしそうな、朗らかな笑顔しますねえー、是非ともカッコイイチャンピオンになってほしい！

[@OVRDSE]

Pride never dies

[@SuperYoungnation]

[@MrHorse16]

[@ponylover0601]

[@portalsofmadnes]

Awesome.Many feels.

[@asdfghjkl0226]

コレだけレベルの高い戦いしてるのに、日本人の関心がここまでひくくて、観客がすくないのにびっくりした、ヨーロッパみたいにスポーツ先進国なら観客席は満席になってただろう。

[@d3eplydisturbed]

what a great job...

[@kentot2position]

that poke to the eye ending...

[@evexxxxx]

VICE JAPAN ROCKS! I just hope they never get busted for making shit up. That would be tragic...

[@Omniback20]

Did Yamamoto point at the girl and say "My bitch" at 10:51 lol?

[@kersguuup]

lol yea

[@hubobubo2113]

yes lol

[@user-qj8fo6ty8h]

すんげー好青年

[@rho8724]

[@mcarrasco85]

[@D1E537]

13:40 このシーンは何度見てもアガる！！！

[@kentarookamoto7096]

10:52 Kid: "My Bitch"

[@kazpermcnycto2284]

lmfao

[@evexxxxx]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How did I miss that one? Probably cause i was staring at her. Didnt even realize he said something in that scene, lol.

[@evexxxxx]

when is the next episode coming?

[@ryan110001]

big diffference in american mma and japanese, in american its all jazzed up, gladiatorial like and nearly everyone is on roids, while the japanese mma is almost like a sport, no one is behaving like a dickhead and there seems to be respect, i prefer the japanese style

[@AzumGaming]

Thats not true xD

[@TeamHOY]

yeah you obviously didnt watch pride fc, it was a complete spectacle and everyone was on roids

[@ichupichu5569]

TeamHOY I think he what he means is, Japanese fighters or asian fighters in general are more timid and respectful, you hardly ever see any of them all tatted up like 95% of all the ufc and bellator fighters. You don't see them all loud and disrespectful like a significant portion of american mma artists. You don't see alot of there fighters coming from questionable backgrounds or liftstyles either.

[@TeamHOY]

Ichu Pichu shinya aoki once gave his opponent the finger right to his face after he broke his arm. And have you not heard of Kid Yamamoto? You people are making generalizations, just stop.

[@ichupichu5569]

TeamHOY generalizations which are true... i mean for god sakes, look at this kid in the video, he seems even more timid and reserved then your average highschool kid, Look how shy and respectful he is due to the culture and upbringing Whoppty fucking do, you gave off two measly exceptions, needless to say, besides a minority of fighters like yamamoto who tatted themselves up, the rest are perfectly clean and don't act like fucking idiots on or off stage

[@OscillatorCollective]

now THAT'S a suplex!!!!

[@inhumanhyena]

Caol Uno still doing it - what a sad ending

[@antsman3195]

I like fighting

[@stepbystepize]

かっこいいね

[@Imhim247]

Pride fc was the best. Hopefully JMMA be hot once again. Now there is ONE fc and it's doing well.

[@naokiyoshida212]

この前の修斗で見たけど強くて華があった。

[@DiLangIkawTv]

yan ang maganda

[@BLU_GR.Y]

Does anyone know the bgm or soundtrack of this video? There are many great sounding tunes xDD He's so cute! He's so young too!

[@xjankztalifex]

that suplex

[@PunkIsNotDead]

Holy shit! DAT suplex!

[@terrible99]

There will never be another big organization in Japan like Pride as long as Dana White around.

[@paddygreen3266]

The Japanese seem like such good sportsman

[@eatbigcows1]

Lmao Kid Yamato at 10:53 "My Bitch"

[@mentalmetal1]

the legend cauru uno!!

[@seoulboy5700]

yahoo Japan is good Japan best Japanese Martial Art the best of the world.

[@matineyang]

Didn't know Uno was still fighting

[@JonahGhost]

kid yamamoto's the man he said "my bitch" pointing at that hot girl LMAO she lookin fine too!

[@JonahGhost]

David Woolever if you dont know or not sure dont open your mouth as if you know cause shit like that will get you cursed out lol

[@MiguelTorrellas]

omg the end

[@windupbluebird]

Vice can you please add CC, I don't understand Japanese and I'd like to understand what's going on.

[@zoulouetzara]

[@user-qq2eg8cq6w]

ジャーマンすげえわ

[@jr5296]

[@ZippyLikesZippers]

Dat German suplex

[@jphjphjph]

Thought he was wearing a Thrasher hat at 3:50 for a sec.

[@user-xu4ow7dy2i]

漫画の主人公みたいな選手だな

[@johngarvey5370]

1:00 i could have sworn that only happens in sleeping dogs

[@EnsoLLC]

No fair she got her eye poke! thats not a fight i want to retire with.

[@completesky9]

Quite a depressing ending.

[@crissyXOX1]

He should be in tekken 7

[@user-hm6nb8wn7i]

JMMA is dead.... but I still think Kyoji Horiguchi is the bright future of JMMA

[@erasertraceur3741]

@lolyano 1 Years of wrestling and grinding of the ears bust blood veins over the years causing a build up in the veins that just blows up.

[@modshroom]

a fucking suplex

[@Hiphop101ize]

i cant even see the responses to my youtube comments ON KZbin anymore. whats the point of a comment and sharing section if i cant see the responses and continue the discourse?!

[@dustinlee2615]

Cauliflower ear, most wrestlers have it @keropoklekor007

[@user-xp2zc6uc3d]

地味に塩顔でイケメン

[@weed22k]

Mega Megu, Tokoro

[@sanubaskey5517]

00:26 that chick means business!

[@user-iy3ns4is9q]

フジメグお疲れ様でした

[@Lexman00]

Holly shit they're short... Anyway, I wish Ryuto luck. MMA but with Japanese bushido ideals sounds perfect to me. Nihon banzai!

[@R370RD]

10:52 Did he say "My bitch"?

[@BenDover-vh9rs]

11:00 What is that song?

[@ChilloutSessionZ]

www.seancody.com

[@CHEESYHEAD684]

Sawada weighed in at 52kg? How tall is he?

[@c4un544n5]

I think i heard 156cm, but he's 17 so he might still grow taller.

[@evexxxxx]

c4un544n5 165, not 156

[@c4un544n5]

Eve Campbell Ah.. Of course, that would make much more sense.

[@vankilsing]

c4un544n5 www.sherdog.com/fighter/Ryuto-Sawada-128781

[@natefaizy]

156cm

[@vagisilsalesman]

SAKURABA!

[@user-eb7jj7eg1x]

マイビッチww

[@JonahGhost]

i cant sense that killer instinct in his eyes like most successful MMA fighters have. kid looks soft.. it doesnt matter how much you practice in the fight game you need that viciousness inside you.

[@clairewalker6275]

this is total bullshit you need to go look up kazushi sakuraba, the kid from the video's hero. He was nothing but a gentleman, kind, gentle. Like a teddy bear. But single handedly ended Gracie supremacy in MMA by beating every single brother of that era. Learn your history. not all MMA fighters have to be roided up, screaming monsters. That's what they were talking about keeping a bushido mentality in MMA...

[@JonahGhost]

lol you should look in sakus eyes during his matches with the gracie family. having the eye of the tiger and being a gentleman has nothing to do with each other.

[@clairewalker6275]

yeah it does that's why you see UFC fighters acting a fool like they're hot shit, something you would never see a serious japanese fighter who wants to uphold the principles of bushido. It's about being a warrior but also having respect.

[@oooBASTIooo]

Yes, it is very important to see the killer instinct in his eyes.. watch?v=DCpTDHpOfVc

[@JonahGhost]

are you fuking kidding me? your obviously unable to distinguish killer instinct in a fighters eyes. LMAO when you see james thompson eyes does it make you feel like he has a killer instinct? LOL that dude is just frowning trying to look bad. look at aleksanders eyes calm but he has that fire. bad example friend bad example.

[@bluehood89]

What's with their ears? Is it a fighter thing?

[@Socomnick]

its from getting punched on the ears. Called cauliflower ears

[@OVERCAPITALIZE]

You get it from having your ears being hit, or grinded on by friction. Most fighters get it from wrestling, grappling, or BJJ.

[@bluehood89]

Oh okay, thanks guys.

[@jonnyHwood]

FUCK YEAH KORN AND XZIBIT!!

[@musardus]

i used to fight like him, then i took an arrow in the knee

[@keropoklekor007]

why their ears like that ? sum1 explain?

[@RamonesFreak566]

Its cauliflower ear. You suffer trauma to the ear and it gets all mashed up therefore blood starts swelling it up and eventually forms scar tissue. Hence fighters and most grapplers/wrestlers have weird looking rock hard ears.

[@keropoklekor007]

thx for info bro !

[@TAnnich11]

valentino gamboa It's a hematoma, and a perichondral hematoma. Similar result as formation of familiar "scar tissue" but different. Look it up if interested!

[@user-hs3gx6mo7s]

japanese say ”judo ear”or”gyoza ear”

[@misterchango]

Where is the sap button for me ? Lol
