What Is Japanese For "Tap Out"?
Written by Jeff Fox

I don't know what your New Year's Eve plans are, but my guess is you're going to have a more enjoyable time ringing in the New Year than Mizuto Hirota did.  Hirota, Cage Force and Sengoku's lightweight champ, rang in 2010 by getting his arm brutally broken by Shinya Aoki, then having Aoki yell in his face and flip him the bird (the bird flipping apparenlty due to Hirota dissing Aoki's jiu-jitsu prowess).

Perhaps Hirota's New Year's resolution should be to learn how to say "tap out" in Japanese.  And I would suggest Aoki's resolution would be to learn some humility, but I won't say that out loud because I need both my arms to write for my legions of fans.  With that, I bid you Happy New Year, and a couple of tips if you happen to find yourself at a New Year's party with Shinya Aoki:

1) Don't stare at his tights/spandex, no matter how outlandish they are.

2) If he asks you for your opinion of his jiu-jitsu, tell him we need to invent another colour belt, since a black belt doesn't do it justice.

3) If you somehow find yourself in a drunken wrestling match with him at midnight, please make sure you know how to say "tap out" in Japanese beforehand.
