Yoshihiro Nakao Wiki

A favorite among Japanese fans. Yoshihiro "Kiss" Nakao earned his nickname by kissing his opponent, Heath Herring, before the bell even rang. Earning him the victory via disqualification though later overturned due to his kiss being declared a foul as well.

Training in wrestling throughout high-school, Nakao has an aggressive, well balanced game that has earned him victories over cabbage Correia,  Edson Dragon, Jim York, Olympic gold medalist David Khakhaleishvili, and the legendary Don Frye.
Most notable about Nakao might be his durability and heart. Only being finished once by a much bigger Antonio Silva when Silva tagged Nakao with a leg kick, tearing his ACL ligament.
