Kawajiri signs with UFC

What do you think?

Is Kawajiri past his prime? Will he be another odd example of japanese fighters somehow coming up short vs foreign competition?

Will the japanese ever be a true force in the UFC?

Wishing him well, but it could just me my old PRIDE nostalgia setting itself up for another beating...

- Kawajiri is a pretty good wrestler, and a strong grappler.(Or used to be in the other categories)
I'm more pumped about the sign of Kikuno, as a huge fan of Karate, i've been waiting for years to see Kikuno fighting on the big american orgs.
