There is something to be said about the combat sports community in Japan and how closely knit it is with the professional wrestling community. As we've reported before, K-1 MAX fighter Yuichiro Nagashima is looking to lace up his boots and enter into the world of professional wrestling. Nagashima will be wrestling on the Zero-One MAX show on May 5th in Japan and is training with Zero-One MAX wrestlers such as Shinjiro Ohtani.

The photos are from SportsNavi, they also have an interview up with him, he also looks to add 20kg (about 30lbs) of muscle mass for wrestling.
