Ikuhisa Minowa (born January 12, 1976) in Hashima, Gifu, Japan is a Japanese mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He was a long time veteran of Pride Fighting Championships and Pancrase and has also competed in other mixed martial arts promotions such as K-1 HERO'S, Cage Rage, UFC, and DEEP. He was the winner of the DREAM Super Hulk tournament.
MMA career[]
Minowa was known in PRIDE Fighting Championships for his entertaining entrances and sporting of the Japanese flag as a cape as well as his aggressive, high-risk style of fighting which has seen him employ flying dropkicks amongst other pro-wrestling derived maneuvers.
Beginning his career in the Pancrase 176-pound division and never weighing in at more than 196 pounds, he has taken on fighters at 205 lb and heavier throughout his career, earning him his nickname "The Giant Killer".
Minowa is also known for his eccentric and intense training methods, which include dodging baseballs and training in environments such as rivers. He has trained Muay Thai in Thailand, catch wrestling in Japan, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil with the Brazilian Top Team.
Minowa has won against the likes of Golden Glory member Gilbert Yvel, K-1 kickboxer Stefan Leko, and UFC fighters Kimo Leopoldo and Phil Baroni.
He participated in the PRIDE's first 185 lb tournament where he defeated Phil Baroni, but went on to lose in the second round to former Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu mentor Murilo Bustamante. On December 31, 2005, Minowa fought PRIDE legend Kazushi Sakuraba, in which he almost landed a kneebar and then a heel hook, but was caught with a Kimura and defeated at 9 minutes into the first round. Minowa next fought at PRIDE Bushido 10, where he faced the 7-foot-2 Giant Silva. Minowa dominated the fight, using a forward roll to get past Silva's enormous reach and then landing a single leg takedown that put Silva on his back. Minowa promptly landed multiple knees to the head of Silva, causing the referee to stop the fight at 2:23 of the first round. Following that, he fell to Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović due to strikes in the first round. However, he then rebounded with wins over Park Hyun Kab, Eric "Butterbean" Esch, and Mike Plotcheck.
Minowa was knocked out in his last fight for PRIDE by Kiyoshi Tamura at PRIDE Shockwave 2006, but celebrated 10 years as a fighter at the CMA Festival 2 event by defeating Min-Seok Heo in the main event after his opponent's corner threw in the towel after the first round. His next opponent was South Korean wrestler Choi Seung Hyun at Heat4: MEGA BATTLE HEAT from Nagoya. Minowa won the bout via shoulder lock.[1]
He fought MMA legend and former mentor Masakatsu Funaki at the DREAM.6 event on September 22, 2008. He was submitted in the first round via heel hook.[2]
At Dream.8 he lost via decision to professional wrestler Katsuyori Shibata but he rebounded at Dream.9 defeating Bob Sapp in what was his 80th fight.[3][4]
He faced the 7'2" Choi Hong-man at Dream 11 on October 6, 2009. Throughout the fight he attempted to take his opponent down, being successful on two occasions in the first round, before submitting his opponent in the second.[5]
At Dynamite!! 2009, Minowa squared off with Cameroonian fighter Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou in the finals of the DREAM Super Hulk tournament. In the first round Sokoudjou landed many strikes on the smaller fighter while Minowa attempted leglocks. At the end second round Minowa had Sokoudjou in a kneebar but was cut off by the bell before he could adjust his grip. In the third round Minowa and Sokoudjou both received two yellow cards (10% purse deduction for one) for inactivity 3 minutes into the round, but with 90 seconds left Minowa connected against Sokoudjou's jaw with a left hook, dropping him to the ground for the KO.[6]
Minowa went on to win his next two fights at Dream 13 and Dream 14, both by submission.[7][8]
After going 6-2 in his next 8 bouts, Minowa squared off with Hawaiian Kendall Grove at ProElite 3 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He lost by unanimous decision.[9]
He then rebounded with two wins in the Gladiator Challenge organization before losing to Bellator MMA Middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko via first round technical knockout.[10]
In his next 5 bouts, Minowa went 4-1 with all of those wins being finishes in the first round.
On April 5th, 2014, Minowa faced MMA new-comer Goran Jettingstad at Inoki Genome Fight 1. "Minowaman" finished the bout at 2:26 in the first round via Achilles lock.[11]
Minowa then faced Jung-Gyo Park at ROAD FC 15 on May 31, 2014. Minowa was knocked out cold with a left hook at 4:42 in the first round.[12]
