Norifumi ‘KID’ Yamamoto died of cancer at the age of 41 years of age. A legend of Japanese MMA, Yamamoto was a rockstar in his home country, a bantamweight who beat lightweights in K-1 Hero’s, DREAM and Shooto. His UFC run was never a testament to who he was or what he meant to the sport. In this short clip from my radio show, I tried to observe a few things he might’ve been.

I certainly didn't expect this..I hope his family will hold up well.
You should call fights alongside of Rogan and DC. At least substitute for Anick.
Very sad. Damn.
