↵Shinya Aoki has broken an opponent’s arm before -- he snapped ⇥ Keith Wisniewski’s arm at a Shooto bout in 2005 (video here) -- and he’s taunted opponents after matches before but he reached a new low at this morning’s Dynamite!! 2009 bout against Sengoku Lightweight champ Mizuto Hirota, deliberately breaking his arm and then taunting him after the fight.
Shinya Aoki Breaks Mizuto Hirota’s Arm
↵It’s hard to truly figure out how I feel about this whole situation. First off, Hirota had plenty of chances to tap out to the arm lock prior to his arm breaking. But to stand over a guy whose arm clearly just broke and give him “the bird?” I can’t really get behind that. A lot of people are trying to draw parallels to Brock Lesnar pointing in Mir’s face after handing him a beating, but there wasn’t a clear injury involved in that case.
↵The fight can be watched here, but be warned...the ending of the fight is pretty disturbing.
