Yoshihiro Akiyama recently released his autobiography titled, Two Souls: Heel or Hero in Japan. In it, he talks about a betrayal that pissed him off....check it out;
"It is embarrassing to share this personal story but all of my fight money, the money I've been saving from beginning of my MMA career, is gone. I had a friend who I became acquainted with when I was practicing judo. We became close friends and I respected him very much as a person. But basically, he has embezzled all the money. That's hundreds and thousands of dollars. [Got MMA? says that the number mentioned in the book is closer to a million dollars.]
It's big money, I know!
It's been three years and that person is living a happy life as if nothing was wrong, and I think this is really unfair! I've been seeking advice from some people to get my money back. This time, I found a new attorney and, fortunately, it seems like there's going to be some new progress.
I really hope this doesn't happen to you!"
