So much for Japanese fans not booing...
Pride: What about the two other Japanese fighters, Yasuhiro Nakao and Kazuhiro Nakamura?
Sakakibara: The Lightweight and Welterweight Divisions are full of Japanese fighters capable of fighting at the top. Unfortunately, the reality is that the fans were booing Nakamura and Nakao's fight, so there's no room for excuses. I think the extent that they wanted to show something to the fans or the fight they wanted to bring to the ring really contrasted with the other fights.

There are exceptions to every rule. It has to be a seriously boring match (see Lister/Arona) to get the Japanese fans booing.

It's only in cases where all of the other fights are so huge and so exciting that when you have a snoozer like this, the Japanese fans booo~!

Well, to be fair they had just suffered through lee tae hyun vs. morais. Oh my god that fight was an embarressment. If you had actually seen the fights instead of reading post fight interviews you'd know that the crowd was booing even louder during that fight, and righfully so.

The fight was really terrible, I don't blame them. It looked like both of them had plenty in the tank for most of the fight, but neither managed to mount any really significant offense.

Anyone would boo that fight, I was so bored during that fight that I actually went and got something to eat.

Lee/Morais and Nakamura/Nakao were two of the most painful fights I've seen in a while. They should've gotten booed and docked all of their pay. That was just terrible.
