The UFC’s Japanese MMA fighter Teruto Ishihara is an interesting individual…

Ishihara has recently admitted that the only reason he fights MMA is get girls!

He is 9-2-2 as a pro fighter and 1-0-1 in the UFC. This Saturday, he will facing Horacio Gutierrez. He’s a part of Urijah Faber’s Team Alpha Male.

He stated:

“I don’t like MMA,” he said. “I don’t like boxing. I don’t like wrestling. I don’t like grappling. I like only [women]. I don’t want to fight. I really don’t. I’m not trying to get fans or be different from anyone else. I don’t want to fight.

“I do this because it’s the best way I know of to get girls. If you fight, and you get the knockout, you get the girls. That’s my thing, getting the girls.”

“MMA is something I shine in and when I’m fighting is when I look my best,” he said. “I think I’m most attractive to girls when I’m doing this. If I thought I was good at something else that would get the girls to pay attention to me, I’d do that.

“If I thought soccer was that thing, I’d do soccer. Singing, I’d sing. I’d even do a cooking show if it brought me the girls.”

About sex being bad for fighters:

“The people who say that are just scared-y cats,” Ishihara said. “I’ll stop 10 days out before a fight, but during the training camp is when I’m at my wildest.”

“My Dad was a big playboy,” Ishihara said. “My Dad would take me with him to see a [woman] he was having an affair with. It wasn’t that uncommon. I grew up seeing that kind of stuff.”

“I want to experience as many women in the world as I can,” Ishihara said. “…The reason I’m in the UFC is that there are so many people who watch it and that’s the best way to help me become as popular as I can with them.”

MMA H.E.A.T.’s Wade Eck was backstage to hear from Teruto Ishihara right after his KO win over Julian Erosa. Teruto explained the reason he got into fighting wast to meet more women. Now that he’s in the US and has his first UFC win, he wants to know the best place to find some American women.
