Akiyama established himself as a superstar in his native Orient, the "Tiger Woods of Japan" according to Dana White (vicodin and fugly Denny's waitress not included) before coming to America and carving a niche with fans in the UFC, where Japanese talent has historically struggled to catch on. Now "Sexyama" needs to take a page out of Charlie Sheen's book and start winning.

This begs the question: should he lose (in what would be his 3rd consecutive loss), will Akiyama be facing the chopping block? Dana White doesn't think so.
