Next fight for 'Sexyama' Yoshihiro Akiyama?

The 46-year-old 'Sexyama' Yoshihiro Akiyama is ready for a fight and wants more. He is coming off a big win in ONE Championship against former champion Shinya Aoki.

It was a matchup of Japanese MMA legends at ONE X. Aoki controlled the first round and nearly choked out Akiyama. However, in the second round, Akiyama rallied and knocked out his rival.

He explained his desire to continue fighting on The MMA Hour:

"I will definitely go until I'm 50. Yes, that is my current goal depending on my physical. So yeah, if you calculate, twice a year and I have four years left in me, so that's more than eight [fights]."

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, former title holder Eduard Folayan called out Akiyama:

“Maybe we can bring in Akiyama. He really performed well against Shinya. It’s [almost] identical to the way I beat Shinya. I think this is a good match to make. We were supposed to face each other before but it got canceled. If it happens, it will definitely be explosive. The crowd will definitely be on their feet."

Akiyama said he would like to face the former champion in the coming years. At 46, he does not seem to be slowing down. He is an ageless wonder who will continue to fight in ONE Championship.
