 Breaking news : Kai Asakura is  going down on December 10 in Las Vegas   

 

 

Kai Asakura is fighting for the flyweight title in the main event of UFC 310 — his first-ever bout in the United States — and the Japanese MMA star says there’s one special person he’d love to see Octagon-side … Shohei Ohtani!

 

TMZ Sports recently chopped it up with 31-year-old Asakura before his UFC debut — a title bout vs. Alexandre Pantoja going down December 10 in Las Vegas — and the 21-4 fighter hopes the newly minted World Series champ can squeeze in a trip to Sin City.

 

 I have never met [Ohtani],” Asakura told us through a translator. “But I’d love him to come and watch my fight.”

It’s unclear if Shohei is even a fight fan … but it’s routine to see big stars, including top athletes, at UFC events.
