Obviously, the overhead costs of trying to break into an English speaking country are much lower. But you'd think it would be a no brainer for the top MMA organization to make an effort at getting (back) into the Japanese MMA market. The UFC should put Bisping and Okami in the octagon together... Whoever wins is where they invest.
